True. But on the other hand, rly positive that it seems that it has been vetoed in every series so far, until now where you couldn't veto anything. Good argument to keep it out in the future^^ | ||

He attacked with pure ling while his infestors and ultras were all elsewhere on the map. He attacked with everything right before 3-3 finished. Those were the 3 biggest mistakes that game, just wasn't nearly as crisp as Stephano usually looks. The 40 lings that he threw was to leave supply for ultras. The biggest mistake was probably the attack before 3-3. He made 20 lings right after those 40 died, so not really. :/ Biggest mistake was not waiting for 3/3. or he would crush Terran with those lings. That was a huge mistake. He also didn't engae with Infestors, which was another big mistake. If he did both of those, that game would have been so different. He also left the lings by the Terran's depots instead of unburrowing them and move commanding them to both of terran bases. Well you still got to keep in mind that polt was very tank heavy. Upgrades for the zerg don't matter *that* much against such heavy tanks compared to if it was more bio centric. Edit: Obviously still should've waited, just hard to say how much better it would've been. | ||

No lan and tournaments has to pay Blizzard to host tournaments. Oh, they don't really promote esports like riot or valve does either. They just want $$$$ | ||

How hard would it be for Stephano to tech-switch to Broods instead of going for Ultras there? He would have to upgrade the air attack/defense from scratch, but it would be easier than dying to a blind-counter of your style... you forgot about polt dropping lucky to his death because he went for broodlords? Lucky miss played that game and could of just walked across the map and killed Polt if he left like 2 infestors at home. | ||

Maybe Kas is up there with those guys but until he plays head to head against these guys, we won't really know. I don't know where you've been. But Polt is one of the best Terrans in the world. The Terrans you mention are good, but only MKP, Jakti and MMA are in the same league as Polt. Doesn't rank 1 GM in KR mean anything to you? ummm... means he ladders alot instead of using practice partners? | ||

Once you get to a certain level it's just a matter of how much you play. MKP has several gm accounts apparently. It's just a matter of mass gaming. Anyway, more importantly Polt hasn't been that relevant in the GSL for a while. No one thinks of him in the top 5 terrans at all. | ||
