Polt going to get knocked out of code s pretty easily if he plays gsl like he did today. Can't believe how many mistakes polt made. He played way better at assembly. He didn't play badly at all today. It's more like Stephano figured out all his tendencies and abused them. That doesn't bode well for next season, since everyone will know what his weaknesses are as well.
Everyone already knows how Polt plays in Korea.

Damnit, I was hoping for the last guy to ask if he would continue playing now with this win, but instead it was a pushup question. :-/

Thanks. You can't possibly think that ghosts wouldn't help against this infestor-heavy play Thats not what I'm asking, I'm asking people to point out games where they have been used. Until then all we have is random forum posters telling players like Polt how to play. Besides, I find ghosts hard to justify when a tank costs about the same amount, a tank shot does the same damage as a snipe and ghosts now have literally NO other use besides countering infestors.
As they really shouldn't. Any amount of EMP on Stephano's clumped infestors would have greatly mitigated the amount of damage his fungals dealt on all that bio. I'm not saying ghosts would have definitively won Polt that game but those fungals were definitely tearing his marine-heavy army to shreds.

Ok. the USA thing was funny the first time, but now it's kinda rude. why? stephano thinks its funny It's rude to Polt imo. kind of like how people chant MMA or MVP after they win? do they chant south korea, or sk? is it a meme to do so?
it could be if they made it, just like the USA thing.

wtf is wrong with this thread?
more balance whine than in a BNet forum...
Everytime a non-terran player wins a tournament we see this same level of butthurtness from the terran whiners. It's getting pretty sickening to be honest.

Man, Polt needs to learn how to leave games. He's not going to beat the 100 supply Stephano with 20 supply and 1 mining base. It's way better to do this than to have Idra GG timing... He actually don't have observer mode and do'nt know how his opponent is doing... When it's the last game you do you prefer to be sure But he did it in game 1 and 2! Polt had like 30 supply and Stephano was streaming units in his base and he just sat there. It's cool to play till you lose but no need ONCE you've lost to stick in the game and try and drag it out.
Hey, go watch Polt's game against Violet and quit whining about late gg's. This is 100x better than those bullshit gg's that Idra pulls off.

Nah chanting for a nationality is worse than chanting for a name.

So I guess Stephano has just surpassed DRG and MKP in earnings.

Well played by both players, and an excellent tournament!
Makes me question whether Polt really deserves that Code S seed, though. Well, we'll see.
Sorry, but what a stupid comment. Both are great players. It was a great series. Stephano played better this series, but they're both S class players, in my mind. It's a valid comment. Polt was code B and got a code s seed. He certainly didn't display code s level play today. He played quite disappointing today. Can't count how many free tanks polt gave away each game or how many times he blew away leads.
It's not a valid comment so say a player isn't Code S quality from a single series. Especially against someone like Stephano.

I honestly want to know why Polt doesn't make ghosts. Sure, they're a waste of money and supply against everything except infestors, but... well ok, I guess that's probably why.
it makes no sense to me. polt really needs to incorporate it into his game if he wants to beat infestor heavy play like what stephano was abusing vs him.
The games were incredibly close. Polt didn't really have the safety buffer to make that investment.

second place still good place. True dat.

Polt sounded so sad, dayum.

Problem is, the Infestor model is so much fatter than the HT model. They don't clump as much and are generally much more spread out.

why awards ceremony always awkward T_T
|
well... I don't want to rush things, but I guess stephano proved in this tournament that he can play well against code S players. I really want to see him playing at code S or even Code A. I want to see how he prepares against specific players.
|
Great Tournament all in all!! ... Award Ceremony needs ALOT of improvement though 
|
Poor Polt - I hope he can still keep up his good momentum, and kick butt in IPL and Code S!

you also have to take into consideration that polt is seriously jetlagged by 20 hours while stephano spent a full week in texas.
