All these people talking about ghosts, please point out a game where a good terran has successfully used ghosts post-nerf in TvZ.

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.

EMP's radius just isn't enough to make it worthwhile at all, even heavily clumped infestors will only let you hit 2 or 3 per EMP tops. Ghosts also take away from other gas units, plus are vulnerable to the techswitches that Stephano loves to pull off. Polt doesn't use ghosts traditionally in his play anyway so it'd be a big risk to try and refine that against a player of the calibre of Stephano

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.


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


It's not even jetlag. Stephano played great. All seven games between them were insanely close. It's silly to take one series and go, 'Wow, he doesn't deserve the seed because he lost to a great player.' By those standards, we should kick MVP out of the GSL for losing to Demuslim or Nestea losing to Ret.

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.

So true, its like they think only terrans should win

Balance whine is in every thread. Terran lose = Terran saying other is OP. Toss lose = Opponent's race OP. Zerg lose = Opponent's race OP.

This always happens regardless of who wins.

So does MVP not deserve Code S because he played awful yesterday against Seal?

Code S players lose all the time. Stephano scouted Polt and played perfectly against him. I mean, who else would you give the Code S seed to?


I'd rather not give out code S seeds at all and would just have players earn it. Players like bomber and losira were code s regulars and both got knocked to code b, with only bomber making it back in this season to code a. It's damn hard to get back to code s once knocked to code b. Polt just got a shortcut with the seed. I'm a polt fan, but he did not play well today at all.

i feel when your opponent is going 10+infestors you HAVE to at least TRY and get a few EMP's off or you're GOING to lose just like polt showed us. Stephono didn't even play all that great imo.. making shit tons of infestors and clicking F 10 times on Polts army took ZERO skill. Baffles me that Polt let him shit all over his chest with 1 unit. Im not pro or anything so don't try and come @ me bro as this is only my opinion and everyone is entitled to their own.

You are lucky to hit 2 infestors with 1 EMP when the radius is so small, snipe is probably more cost effective at countering infestors. But then you compare it to a tank and see even less reason to build a ghost.

When no progamer builds ghosts in TvZ any more, they probably have pretty damn good reasons for it.

Oh yeah, my bad. I got this tourney mixed up with MLG Winter, which pays $25k to the champ.

It's rude to Polt imo.


kind of like how people chant MMA or MVP after they win?

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


what nationality is stephano again?

beautiful games, thank you stephano and thank you polt.

normally, when you think about it,even in the closest series, there is always at leastone game that is completely one-sided, right?

nope.

You understand a foreign Terran hasn't won a major live event in 1.5 years right?
