This. Way too late 4th and 5th for sleep. Therefore he could not get all the viable upgrades like air attack and armor and adrenal glance. Also his infestor control seemed pretty bad.

And Stephano also gets the chance to observe Polt even more in these games.


Polt sucks against mutas.

Stephano doesn't make mutas. If Stephano did muta harass, he would do a lot better against Polt. But Stephano said himself he doesn't like using mutas/sucks with them.

Maybe he`ll try. He has a double spire muta build he does from time to time on his stream.

I can't believe some people whined about how Polt won.

Ge was so patient, only engaged the Blords when he had the perfect positioning(he surrounded the Zerg army at least twice).

But yep T OP >_<

Stephano is pretty good with mutas, but he understands how powerful lategame ZvT is now (since ghosts got nerfed). He will always set himself up for that BL/infestor/corruptor army, and the ling/infestor build + fast upgrades is perfect for it.

Polt containing with 6 helions, going for 2 extra rax and stim, seems like his bio push incoming. evo chamber and roach warren for sleep, no 3rd base for him. double upgrades for sleep, starport on the way for polt

Polt won because he killed the 3rd, 4th and 5th just before the Broods came out, giving him a huge economic lead and meaning he could instantly replace lost armies (eg. after taking out the third and in the top left), while Sleep's army just got weaker and weaker after each engagement. Everything else is just a bonus.
