So by your logic polt is better than MMA. but anyone with common sense knows thats not the case.

Umm MMA has played MVP in bo7, bo5, and another bo5 in Geforce ProAM defeating him CONVINCINGLY every time, with the only time that MVP won was at MLG where he was already ahead in extended series anyway.... Also these were all pretty much during MVP's prime. If ur saying MVP was better then he should at least have won some of those sets right? Or at least make them close( which they were all one sided ). The Polt MMA games are pretty much one series of build order, where MMA wasn't even in his prime form and Polt has just sunk into the abyss.

Polt hasn't sunk anywhere he's likely the second best terran in the world at the moment.

lol...

Don't overestimate the GSL. Look at the other top terrans and do a comparison, Polt has beaten MK and Fin recently while both Mvp and Bomber is slumping...

Since when have MKP and Fin been top Terrans?

Because even though they dominate early and mid game unless toss goes all in they should also dominate late game even though they can play 50/50 late game v toss. Thats like saying you want to play zerg with stim and medivacs for your roaches

I see how terran dominates the early game when Puzzle(and many other toss players) wins every time they do these rushes, regardless of how many bunkers and of who he is playing against.
I like the part where sense is considered a common, settled thing.

I like the gamble to take a fast third by MMA.

I suspect Puzzle might push again on thermal lance and a third colossus?

Lots of toss do these immortal pushes ^^ Need a marine heavier composition and like 3 layers of bunkers to be able to hold it.


3 layers? like 6 bunkers...

It seems like 4 bunkers is easily died to this push...

MVP has beat millions of other players who has beaten MMA. Just because MMA beats MVP in head to head confrontations dosen't make MVP the weaker overall player. Achievements don't lie. MVP status as best player should not be debated until he shows poor form for a few months and someone else takes over.

Hmm so MVP not winning GSL since August and MMA winning the past 2 GSLs means nothing to u I guess...


I wouldn't count Blizzard cup as GSL and if I remember right the reason why MMA/Polt were at Blizzard Cup because MVP won too much too. MMA is great player but he doesn't achieve as much as MVP.


Blizzard cup was an invite only tournament featuring two players that clearly didn't deserve to be there (Stephano and Naniwa). It doesn't count.

Honestly, what can MMA do here if Puzzle gets colossi? Puzzle already has immortals to demolish marauders and he wont have near enough vikings without gimping his ground army completely.

In which universe? Polt isn't even in code s...

MVP isnt even in code S.

There is a difference between actually starting the season in code a and dropping to code a from Code S ro16. if MVP makes it back up he wont have missed a code s season.

but at the end of the tournament, it just doesn't matter if you don't win it all.

Fin i agree with, he's too new to be called a top terran...but not calling MKP a top terran is pretty delusional, sorry.

The reason why this immortal bust works on this map is that the ramp is in front of the expo, so no matter how many bunkers you throw down, the toss can FF the ramp to stop reinforcements.


Also the fact that the surface area around the natural is so narrow. The best way to hold this is to spread out as many bunkers as u can mitigating the effectiveness of forcefields.

In the area around the natural on crossfire u cant make that many bunkers and if you make them close to the high ground ramp they are pointless.

Late game TvP is NOT 50/50.

Late game TvP is 'you will trade armies evenly MAYBE, then he warps in 100 supply instantly'.

Eitherway, whenever one side gets an advantage in TvP it just snowballs way too hard, its annoying.

I feel thats how every matchup works in SC2 and it`s due to the DPS of the game. At some point of a battle one player gets a favor and then he almost stops losing units, while killing the whole enemy army. Then the winner of that battle is free to do whatever he wants to.

on topic: very cool BO by puzzle with that many immortals.

its the standart "if u dont scout it its autowin if you scout it you have small chance of holding" allin every second toss does

immortal push perfect if you scout the wallin 2 free depots at least. Love it when terrans do it on ladder. And if you see a pro struggle with it, then you can imagine how much easier it is on ladder xD. The Bunker placement wasn't to good again and if you don't have marauders with slow in bunkers to snipe the immortals once their shields are down, there is no reason to try to hold the natural. The observers snipe pretty much gave MMA some breathing time.

You basically need to be producing 3 vikings at a time just to keep up with 1 colossus production :S
