Nestea and MVP played badly at Winter Arena. Doesn't mean they aren't great players. Stephano played amazingly and Polt played well, but overall gave away leads and couldn't beat Stephano. | ||

I think the main thing is that he doesnt like living in Korea too much. But he even said in one interview he would go to GSL if he doesnt miss any major foreign tournament. Im hoping for it so much as well. | ||

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. You know I see all sorts of shit in LR threads, but I can see where your coming from on this one with my background but to say Polt played bad today? I cannot agree with that. The games were incredibly entertaining and I understand why you would be upset with the results being a Polt fan. I will leave it at this, Polt was unable to adapt. Those games could have gone either way. | ||

There's a reason Stephano has consistently said he's afraid of Polt even after first beating him. | ||

Stephano was also playing really well and was the better player today. | ||

That's why we look at their whole body of work and put more emphasis on the recent results. | ||

Makes sense, has something to do with needing korean blood to be good at terran, right?If only they received a transfusion, or maybe that won't help since the simple fact that they chose terran already doomed them, in that case not even a race switch will help, oh god. | ||

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. Ghosts can cloak and move around though, tanks have to stay sieged. Tanks can't fire on infestors because the marines/marauders are usually way out in front so they can have room to kite back. Its a good point people are making about emp radius, but I wonder whether they're *that* useless. 2 infestors max? If they're clumped up I'd think you could get three or four with one well-placed emp. | ||
