This. Polt's sticking to his own style.


He's from the MMA kind.
No ghost even when they were good.

Only MVP was the Ghost guy.


MVP single handedly got Ghosts nerfed.


I dunno, Thorzain was a really good ghost user too and probably played a part. Not as good as MVP obviously but pretty darn good.

I expect Polt to lose 3-0 (maybe 3-1) and then do what Stephano did at Assembly. Go home, study Stephano's play, and go to IPL4 ready to take him down.

well, polt realized that if you manage to sneak a big drop into the main of stephano, you can do a ton of damage
then, stephano discovered he didn't have to morph all his broodlords and keep them as mobile anti air, and it was terribly effective

i wonder how long it can evolve until one of them has a nervous breakdown (could get ugly, especially considering stephano now has firearms training)

Probably the same people who always talk about balance.


Or maybe they understand than investing heavily in anti-psionic only (because they have no other purpose right now) is suicide against a race that tech-switches like its nothing


You're right. It's not like the Infestor is the pillar of both Ultra and BL tech.
Silly me.

Yep, that's zerg late game for you. Oh god terran is so screwed. Then again that's what they get for dominating GSL for half of 2011.

I'm not sure why you guys are overestimating Polt's abilities. He doesn't perform that well in GSL. I don't think its so amazing that Stephano is beating him.


He has the third longest Code S streak in history behind Nada/Nestea. He's made a bunch of Ro16's, a semifinal, and won GSL.

There are, like, what, maybe four or five players who can say they've had more success in the GSL than Polt.

Why do terrans ALWAYS choose a time when zerg wins a terran to whine about the snipe nerf? Once again I will say this, POLT NEVER USES GHOST EVEN BEFORE SNIPE NERF. He has already said it doesn't affect him since he doesn't use ghost. And using polt as an example actually proves that terran's don't HAVE TO use snipe to win. noobs


and we're saying that maybe he should reconsider? All he has to do is land two really good emps and the fungals are nullified. That's most of the damage being done to the marines gone, plus it allows him to micro. Maybe he could win without ghosts before, but against infestor broodlord its kind of crucial. Infestors are what keep the marines from a-moving under the broods...

edit: Plus like the other guy said. Infestors are pivotal for both brood lords and ultras.

Mvp did it on GSL and main stages. Mvp is the sole reason why ghost became huge after players saw how easy late game zerg units die to snipe

I'm very disappointed with Polt right now. He's playing without a shred of killer instinct. Always getting good leads and then throwing them away because he wants to play a straight-up macro game. No difference in builds whatsoever, no proxy rushes, no mind games...just painful to watch. This shit will not win you tournaments.


Lol none of the players cheeses in a final, resulting in some of the most exciting games in the history of e-sport and you get mad. It's fun.

How does Polt even make these games so close. He never seems really prepared for the tech switch and still manages to trade quite well.
I want to be with those who share secret things or else alone.

Polt might just die to this.

Looks like Stephano spotted the weakness to this build.

It's crazy to see how Stephano has improved already since Assembly... and he was already very dominant there.

I know people hate on Stephano fans, but I really think he's overtaken Nestea and is second only to DRG.


The fact is Stephano consistently goes to tournaments without a lot of Koreans, hate to say it but he keeps playing Polt so much, and Polt got knocked out of Code A, although you could say hes code S quality hes probably not even top 20
