It's not a rivalry until Stephano wins one.

Stephano 3-2 Polt in the Eizo Cup #2 finals

So what we are saying is polt has to play on EU server from korea in order to get win!

maybe. I think it was also right around when Polt played bad and fell into Code B. Now he's playing awesome

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.

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

MC beat Idra again btw at Ironsquid
.


You might want to spoiler that. (I spoilered it in the quote).

No reason to spoiler what everyone knew would happen

Stephano lost when the Broods were made imo

How so? I'd say that was the reason why he did so well, since Polt was blind hardcountering Stephano's ultra style. It caught him completely offguard and he lost his 4th in the middle due to it


What did those Broods do? He didn't really do anything with them aside from getting them on 150 supply.

He needed to make a move to secure more bases or you'll get starved thats how Antiga is if you don't get off 3 bases you're digging your own grave. The most the broods did was secure a shaky 4th.


Well they did allow him to kill 12 or so tanks and a bunch of marines in the upper left portion of the map. If those 12 tanks had lived then any ground based army would be pretty useless.

Why did Stephano choose Cloud Kingdom? I thought it was pretty Terran favored.

stop with the hating for god sake -_-

polt vs heavens where he beats him with 4 hellions is what we can call crushed horribly, not there.

Polt won again with like 4 hellions? didnt he do that to someone at assembly in the group stage, too?

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.



Sorry but the locations of the 4ths remain the same regardless of whether its cross position or no gold .

Well Polt didn't really crush Stephano in Assembly, wasn't it 3 really close games? I think that's the tourney where 3-0 did not do the series any justice(tho my memory is failing me).


Polt has never crushed Stephano except in MSI Pro Cup, where Stephano flopped about and failed to dent Polt at all. Their games are generally very close and come down to positioning.

It's a pretty even map. Zerg can get 4 base quite easily.

Stephano has been so sloppy with these supply blocks all weekend. Really something he needs to work on.

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.

Greedy midgame? he was low on drones, made lings alot and had slow expansions how is it greedy?


Because most Korean zergs would attack Polt during that window when Stephano was pumping out drones and teching to BL. Polt was preparing for an attack to come to his natural, but Stephano, instead, chose to tech up without taking any damage. Polt had such a massive army while Stephano was teching up, and had Polt decided to seige right ouside of Stephano's natural, the game probably could've been over right there.

More 1 sided slaughter:

or

MC vs Idra lol.


For sure, MC vs Idra is 12-3 and not usually close games lol.

I'm not implying they were the wrong choice, I'm implying that Antiga is a pretty bad Zerg map for the style Stephano wants to do I don't think Ultra ling infestor will work against someone of Polts calibre on that map
