That wasn't exactly heroic play by Polt people, it's the imbalance of lategame TvZ on Antiga. Plain and simple, you can't reasonably argue otherwise. The skill required for Zerg to win in that situation is much greater than the skill required for Terran to win.

Two things that Stephano isn't doing, but which must be done vs. any Korean Code S Terran that plays like Polt does:

* Baneling mines
* Ultra switch

With the mines he would have an easier time expanding.

With the ultra switch he wouldn't have to spend all his infestors' energy on killing the vikings, freeing them up against marines.

Polt isn't impossible to beat, as Violet showed, and Violet's ZvP is worse than Stephano's - so this is really just a ZvT problem that unfortunately foreigners have a hard time solving because of the lack of good Terrans in EU/NA.

Who has better infestor and lategame army control than Stephano? His BLs spreads are so good, his fungals on spot and even does things like feints and traps really well. Polt also had some pretty slick viking spreads. Only problem was losing all those tanks, SUICIDING them for nothing o_o. I think he believed Stephano had those two bases on the top left and he was hiding the vikings he massed so he could catch the BLs off guard but it didn't pan out.

But what an action packed game. That is what BW zvt feels like when you watch it.

this is double elimination, so a possible scenario would be

- polt wins now
- stephano wins the LB Finals

- polt vs stephano final BO5, stephano wins
- cause of double elim it gets another BO5 between polt and stephano??

is this how it works? this would be sick as fuck :D

Maybe it could be if Stephano takes this series Now it's just a beating, not a rivalry.



Polt beats Stephano, are the game entertaining? YES.


MC beats Idra, are the game entertaining? NO.



One is a rivalry another one is a onesided slaughter.

It's not a rivalry until Stephano wins one.

Someone is a bitter zerg. Stephano would not approve.

Polt is soooooooooooooo good at denying bases. He just starved stephano out that game. Stephano couldn't really get a 4th/5th up because of polt doing multi medivac drops.
