Beautiful decision by Polt, was just thinking if only he early game rushed him stephano would get metagamed pretty bad seeing how passive Polt has been


Its not even an early game rush he commited alot to, also.

Stephano was behind that game all game long. Polt had less SCVs, you say? Guess what - Terran has mules, and he had three orbitals and the means to take a fourth via a PF.

I think right before that crucial battle, Stephano was ahead.
Even with mules Stephanos eco was much better, he had 5 bases again.
And most importantly Broodlords. Just should have waited a bit longer.

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.


I am mad. You don't win tournaments by assuming every game will last past 30 minutes. You win tournaments by proxying 2 rax on Tal'Darim Altar and catching your opponent off-guard. You win by faking out your opponent with a bunker at the natural while you go 1 base cloaked banshee.


But you are only a spectator, so you should be happy there are entertaining games instead of just fast cheese wins? Unless you find it more entertaining to watch a 6 minute 2rax game over a 35 minute actionpacked game, in which case you probably represent like 1‰ of the people watching sc2.


Why should I be happy that the games are "entertaining"? When you're a fan of a team or player you want them to win. I wouldn't care that the Knicks were playing a Showtime offense if they kept losing.


For some people, the action itself is the important part. For others, only the results.

Strange, how people can have differing opinions.


Entertaining games are fine and all if you don't really care about who wins.


That is exactly my opinion. ^^
gambling aside, why should i care who wins?


All opinions are allowed. My opinion is that I'd like my favorite player to win by any means necessary.

Realise your past comments were all about zerg being op. Why aren't you banned yet??

why would you bother to look at someones post history?

forum heroes abound in here

You know you can just follow a thread and notice someone is constantly whining about balance? Forum wannabe warrior here.

actually im just giving you shit because you sound stupid. I am no warrior =/

sound or look? Now you look stupid. lol.

derp lets argue semantics. I personally dont care enough to actually keep talking and want to get back to games that are picking up again -.-

Problem is, when a player like MMA plays a zerg who isn't DRG, Nestea, Leenock, games will be very, very short :p

The whole point of double elimination is that you get two tries. That's the tradeoff, it takes longer but there's less chance of better players getting eliminated by flukes.

His 4/5'th bases were being made they were not done yet and he was not mining from them yet.
When I think of something else, something will go here

If stephano gets broods out the game is over

You were saying? This is why terran's are so terrible sometimes. They whine instead of trying.

That isn't the point, Stephano has the one initiating the attack and he didn't have enough infesters.

Yes, terrans just whine instead of trying, nothing to do with the fact that you gotta have one of the best micros in the world to pull the stuff Polt does while to use fungal, well, everybody fungals in the same way, joegold, jackdiamond and Stephano.

But joegold and jackdiamond don't hold those hellion/marauder pushes.
I don't get it. When I get faced against helion/marauder I just can't outproduce the Terran.

That was way past the hellion marauder push and the main problem vs this strat is not scouting it till the last seconds, if you know it's coming and can't hold it off than you are doing something wrong.

If you didn't care you would have ignored my last comment. You are just frustrated that you can't make yourself look smart on the internet AND you got counter flamed by a person who you thought was stupid . Watch the game and save yourself some pride.
