Fantastic game.

Alongside MMA/DRG, Polt/Stephano is the best rivalry in SC2.

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.

More 1 sided slaughter:
MC vs IdrA
or
Mvp vs Marineking

MC beating Idra is indeed one sided but it is also quite amusing.

thats why i dont get this matchup, first polt was far ahead, then stephano had broodlords and it looked almost gg then polt suddenly won.....


Stephano was never ahead.


he was when he killed the x vikings and tanks


Tbh the vikings yeah, but I reckon Polt wasn't bothered about the tanks at all.
Bleh.

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.


Cross position nogold Antiga where Stephano controlled the middle of the map most of the game? OK pal.

Running around with the tanks in the upper left was a great delaying tactic. They weren't useful with the mass brood lords out and gave him time to pump out all the vikings and pull Stephano far enough out of position to snipe the base on the right.


This, and the fact that Stephano got away with a greedy midgame where his timing of teching to BL is a bit earlier than Polt expected. Stephano had a chance but losing infesters to marines was the killing blow.

Polt vs Stephano isn't a rivalry, Stephano gets crushed horribly by Polt every time. Its more like the relationship between Keen and Nada.
say you were born into a jungle indian tribe where food was scarce...would you run around from teepee to teepee stealing meat scraps after a day lazying around doing nothing except warming urself by a fire that you didn't even make yourself? -rekrul

It's not a rivalry until Stephano wins one.

Someone is a bitter zerg. Stephano would not approve.

He's the only zerg that likes Antiga...>_>

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

Yes that is exactly how it works


That seems the most likely outcome actually. Anyone else, giddy with excitement. We get a minimum of 5 steph vs Polt games, 13 max. O_O

Yeah it's a rivalry, how isn't it? They always meet up in tourneys and always have extremely close games.
