Huh, is it just me or does it almost feel like one of the reasons Polt is playing on so many NA/EU tournaments is so he can work on his multitask and mechanics due to the latency forcing him away from micro-intensive strats?
I know there's money involved, but I just feel like it'd be a sensible idea considering the fact that Polt got a lot of shit for only being able to micro and do timing attacks and he's really moved away from that style. I don't see why he couldn't do that on the Korean server. Well, I was thinking about the latency forcing him to play like that. Ah wells. I guess you're right since I don't know enough about pro training. haha.
Thei're switching server between each game so it's kinda weird to train playing with latency. :d
I think Polt is just trying to get a bit of extra money from foreigners online tournament to help his income.
Seoul University must be expensive.

The lack of medivacts lost thorzain that marine battle pretty bad

Wow a ton of marines weren't even firing... they were dancing behind the front lines....

Polt had way more medivacs.

Man that was so close, Marines vs Marine battles are so fragile. Polt had like 2 more Medivacs and that made him win that battle So Hard it was sick.
Good game anyways

I think Thorzain had only about 2-3 Medivacs, whereas Polt had 7-8. I could be wrong, but I think, that that was the decinding difference.

Thorzain's medivacs weren't healing for the majority of the fight as well.

Kas and Thorzain are definitely the top2 foreigner terrans. If I had to pick just one I'd say Kas is slightly ahead right now, but thats just because he has been more in the spotlight recently.
Sadly besides Kas and Thorzain I can't think of a terran player who would be a strong contender in any tournament.
You're right about that. Lucifron was a very promising Terran too, but he decided to focus on school unfortunately.

SeleCT is ridiculously good. His micro is unsurpassed outside of Korea, I really just don't understand how he does the stuff he does.
