That was a bad map for ultras with all those ravines and small paths. I think even great melee upgrades do not overweigh the utility of broods on this map.

He said in a interview earlier that he didn't use Ghosts in TvZ pre-patch anyway, it's just not his style.


Okay, wow, thanks! So odd that he doesn't even emp.

Man, I thought Stephano played this quite badly, compared to how he normally does.

WTF? Are you kidding me.


Same, actually. Indecisive, and when he did make decisions they weren't nearly as good as last game.

You can't always have "amazing" decisions like in game 1. It was pretty obvious to attack the Terran third instead of defending your own since your army is so much more mobile and easy to replenish.

Also in this game Polt had established a fortified defence at each base, it was pretty hard for Stephano to do anything. I would say he got outplayed.

Lets him get upgrades super fast. Banelings are a bit of a gas drain.
I'm not bad at Starcraft; I just think winning's rude.

Awesome, haha! Polt has gotten advantages both games. As a Stephano fan, I'm actually worried. Polt looks great.

Because good terrans eat up banes... and make banes inefficient. Watch Polt vs TLO from earlier in this tourney.... he just ate banes up, especially until you can get baneling speed.

Come to think of it I can't even think of a game where Polt used ghosts in TvZ so yea he was probably honest in the interview when he said he didnt use them

Yeah, seems like the heavy infestor play wouldn't be as strong with a few ghosts added to the composition

Yeah, Stephano is making unusual mistakes in those games... He seems a bit off.

Hope he can recover, endurance has always been his weak point...
You do realize that Polt blind countered his entire style that game, right?

Really solid play on both sides, next game is gonna be very interesting.

Well played both players but i feel that stephano wasnt comfortable on that map. He didnt know what to do with his agressive opening at times, but here is a question/

When you get 3/3 cracklings and ultras with plating can you go up against 3/3 marines with medivac support or do you then need banes? But if so then mobility is big issue.

Holy shit that play was... perfect... by Polt.

Both Polt and Stephano are really great at adapting to their opponents in general, so I'm excited to see the next games

1-1 ^^

i wouldnt call building marauders blindly call perfect. if stephano builds a greater spire he is doomed


He played Stephano a decent amout of times before . He knows what to probably expect.

Haha yeah. Wasn't this like 6-7 months ago while he had school and before he started to go to all the tournaments? People still believe this. It's amazing...

TotalBiscuit should get a role as the villain in the next James Bond movie.

He sure have the looks for it!
