I would say Polt is going for 2 rax now... but I really dislike if he would do so :x. It seems so fragile if the Protoss somehow defends it more handily than you think he would (i.e goes 1 gate expand into 3 gate or even more terrible for you, 4 gate pressure) Protoss can easily follow it up with insanely greedy play OR BlinG style with 5 or even 6 gate pressure and there's not a lot you can do about.
You still have to see if Polt does follow it up Happy style with 2 rax expand into fast medivacs or if he decides to add a 3rd barracks for more units first. I guess he'll do 2 rax pressure expand into fast medivacs which is very good against a greedy and after 2 rax passive Protoss but is very weak against a safe after expand but agressive after 2 rax Protoss.
Looking forward to it, wish it would be bo3.
The 2rax TvP resurgence will not stay long i think.
Polt and MKP used the build again because a lot of protoss builds weren't safe against it anymore, but with most of them reconcidering the possibility of 2rax in their builds, it's a lot harder to do damage.

Need special tactics against polt as zerg. Wonder if polt would drill my marines to be as epic as his.
Micro, especially bio control is a lot about understanding what to move in what fashion and when to move it. If you see Polt play you will realize he first of all never moves everything when he has marauder/marine and he does position his units very well. Against ultra/ling he'll have marines in front so ultralisks attack light units (less damage) and the marauders still deal a lot of damage to the ultras, while...
...he will stim marines back and leave marauders standing in front against ling baneling to soak up baneling damage and effectively split his marines to the back, also never stimming everything at once in a timing push, really sick control by him.

That is not true. HerO beat Polt in the IPL 3 qualifiers.

4-1 NASL show match
2-0 IPL qualifiers
2-0 asus
so its 8-3, still not looking good for HerO

Hero's style is directly countered by polt's style. hero is really aggressive in early-midgame which polt excels at. in the lategame polt is kind of bad. really awful ghost control and just can't handle it.

Since already two people did mention my 'commentary' now.. thank you, makes me blush. Just trying to get a bit of insight if you want to say so into the LR threads // trying to get something back to the community. So many guys here delivering with live reports when I can't watch games for example.. so yeah... thank you.

I have a feeling Polt is going to kill the rest of Liquid. As both a Polt and Liquid fan my reaction is mixed =/

I guess they had no real choice, but a certain part of me wishes they had more faith in a TLO or a NonY to take a game off Polt.
Hehe polt played recently against tlo, so he knows tlos style a bit now and i must say tlo made it pretty close against polt and almost took him out imo. Don't think it would have been wise to send him though. But yeah would have loved to see some NonY action.

Have the feeling Hero will win on this map. He likes to do 3 gate pressure to bypass the entrance.

Never saw someone recover from this.
