Boggles my mind how a map like Metalopolis is still being played. It's like that washed up football star that still makes it to the pro bowl purely on rep.


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 threw away like 40 lings trying a runby for almost nothing. 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.

What did you get that from? 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 $$$$

Let's not talk about lan here, by the looks of it the problem would affect this game even on LAN.
My english is really bad, sorry about that.

can anyone tell me why stephano opts to not build banelings in the early game (really, the whole game)? i figure that with such delayed tanks by polt that banes would be quite effective.


Lets him get upgrades super fast. Banelings are a bit of a gas drain.

why not just delay them until after upgrades? there was a point in time when stephano's third base had just finished where he was floating near 1100 minerals and no gas because he delayed the gas at his natural for so long. i think if he allocated that mining into 3-4 additional extractors sooner, he would find he has plenty of money for everything including banes, 2/2, and infestors - though this would likely delay his hive tech by a significant margin.

and to the second point, in which polt would just kill banes before doing any damage: stephano makes like 800 ZERGLINGS, i think he has the sense to be able to trap and engage bio balls effectively enough to nullify the damage of not being able to pop those banes.

but that's just me, i'm not the one fighting for $4k or however much the ridiculous prize pool is lol.


$10,000.

I'm not a Zerg play. 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.

I know Stephano had some bad engagements in that last game, but I really feel that Ultralisks on Daybreak are a poor choice. The ramps allow for perfect ranks of mauraders and tanks, and even though Stephano was trying his hardest to flank from all sides. Daybreak really suits Broodlords so much better because of all the lovely dead spaces you can sit Broods in and bombard your target.

Bear in mind the context. He's probably got at least ten guys in mind, and all of them are Korean. MMA, MVP, Marineking, Taeja, a few other second string Terrans who have good micro but are missing the rest of the package.


Yeah, MKP, Taeja, Jajkti, MMA, Bomber, Ryung, Keen, and a dozen other elite Terrans all have demonstrated fantastic micro that you rarely see in the foreign scene. Polt is pretty good, but I wouldn't say he's head and shoulders above this pack. In fact, he hasn't really been performing recently. 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?

Can't really use ladder to prove anything really though. 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.
