Yes should be a monitor which is worth ~230-250€ EDIT: According to the cuppage it's a Eizo FS2331 which is worth even more. | ||

He got rly good and then got his arm broken I think. Only back since 2-3 weeks? Probably one of the bigger talents. | ||

Pretty cool to see, although I was doubting it was Polt at first because he kind of messed it up, he usually brings 3 scvs for that initial pressure. I wonder how much lag he gets playing on EU. Also, as awesome as it is, Polt is showing up EVERYWHERE now, I wonder why is that happening? | ||

Eco 2rax expand into double port banshee ? If his banshee don't do that much damage ( and he was a bit lucky that stephano didn't chase every banshee with mutas ) you're so far behind on the marine tank push. | ||

The point is, playing all night like that is a lot harder than starting at 2pm, which is mid afternoon, since you implied stephano would be tired. He can't be more tired than polt. | ||

Then your understanding of how terran works is fundamentally flawed. He has very precisely thought out builds that account for every stage of the game. Has insane understanding of timings and positioning. And to boot has top level mechanics out there. I've gotten to high masters using almost nothing but his builds. | ||

Polt has better micro and tactics than MMA, which is why he beats MMA most of the time and it's close whenever MMA wins. MMA has a larger assortment of builds and gets far more aggressive. | ||

Ultimately he can only go up so far on the ladder playing the way he does. Timing is a large part of what constitutes 'strategy' in RTS games. Funny enough, Stephano is a player with a great sense of timing - that last game is a perfect example. Do you think if Stephano waited a couple more minutes for Polt to mule up on his 3rd base, and finish adding reactors to his barracks, that the midgame would have gone in his favor? Stephano knew Polt was macro'ing up, and attacked at just the right time. | ||

That was a really impressive hold, I really didn't think Stephano would have enough. Polt might still try to pressure with tanks, but in those positions it's not as strong because it's much easier to get a surround and cut off reinforcements. | ||

The first hold was impressive. Polt overxtended himself a bit by taking this third with an orbital. Not enough unit to defend the two entrance, and he got caught ensieged. | ||

You saw a Polt at 7:39 AM playing with the ridiculous KR->EU lag barely lose 3-2 to a foreigner warmed up from todays cups, playing on his own server for no latency, feet resting in his team house. | ||

Stephano has been playing nonstop since 11 AM in the morning, you can hardly say he was rested, he was probably as tired as Polt. However, lag does have an influence when a korean plays on EU servers. Excellent last two games by Stephano nonetheless, the marauders / hellion push was extremly scary, and not many players would have hold it. | ||

Lag is 500ms max. If lag was that much high Polt would never played in european cup. | ||

Agreed. Which is why I never put any stock into online results, when koreans play with such bad lag. Kr-NA has more manageable lag, but KR-EU is basically unplayable as stated in TSL 3, when they listed it as a reason for all KR-EU games to be played on NA server. | ||

No need to go that far, but yeah, neither player played very well. Clutch from Stephano to pull it out at the end though. | ||

You won't find me disagreeing that they should meet on an even battlefield! My only complaint is on the STYLE of games, which (for me) affects the quality of them. Not on the quality of Polt as a player. Also, yes... I am a Stephano fanboy. So what? | ||

TvZ is arguably Polt's weakest matchup. Either way, I think even the most diehard Korean fans accept by now that Stephano is around the level of upper-middle tier Korean progamers (i.e. guys like Taeja, Alive, Keen, Ryung, etc.). No shame in Polt losing, especially cross-server. | ||

I've been calling him the Inca of terran for a long time cause he's a TvT specialist to me. His TvZ is nothing special as I remember him playing pretty bad against july zerg. His TvP relies on 1-1-1 timings like puma and I remember him playing ridiculous 20 min 1 base games against Puzzle. On January 27 2012 08:04 clementdudu wrote: i get your point but.....no.

His TvZ is nothing special as I remember him playing pretty bad against july zerg. His TvP relies on 1-1-1 timings like puma and I remember him playing ridiculous 20 min 1 base games against Puzzle. yeah Slayers T generally have weak TvP, except for Taeja We also have home story where stephano went 0-6 against, sound, mkp and mc.

Honestly, I don't think there is a foreigner close to Stephano's level right now. And, I'm not even close to a Stephano fanboy. | ||

Besides we all know how volatile Code A / S is, so well... HSC was arguably THE bad result for Stephano in january, he just came back from Korea (his plane landed hours before he started playing), eager to see his family and probably not in the mood to play but more to enjoy some quality time. Still, his result was descent. Apart from that, he crushes best europeans left and right without breaking a sweat, with a random loss here and there because you can't win everything. And still, many say he is a hype, he is overrated, etc. Hell sure, he hasn't the level to win a GSL, but come on, his results are better than ANY other non-korean player (at least $$$ wise, and arguably palmares wise as well), he HAS shown consistensy since late summer 2011 (check his liquidpedia page) with some downs here and there, like any other players except the very best, and still he deserves the cold treatment, "sorry, not that good". I don't get it Anyway, not really the place to remake a beaten to death argument, so wp Stephano & Polt, and thanks for the german casting, I enjoyed it and actually was able to understand some of it | ||

I imagine that Polt, awake at 7:30 a.m. in Korea, preferred to do builds that would end the games quickly. It was uncharacteristic to see so many early pressure builds in a BO5. | ||

 Sick run nonetheless, especially the ZvZ. Taking out Dimaga, Symbol and almost taking down Nerchio in the final. Well played, hope to see more of you! | ||
