He already beat DRG last year i am sure his ZvZ actualy is better, not saying he's the better player overall or should be crowned best player in the world.


Have you seen DRG's ZvZ lately?

He beat DRG in a BO1 that really doesn't say anything.


It say's he won, he stomped that agressive play, and please look at how while expanding and with less units but better micro and control.

Hmmm, if Polt fails I want to see the king of all Marines take on Stephano.

Got to keep the Zerg peasants down so that they don´t get too cocky

You have to do early damage/pressure or they will make their 80 drones. Even Flash couldn't turtle to a win.


MMA is 2/3 times faster than Polt and just on a totally different level in this matchup.

Polt is really just too passive early game.


Polt does lots of marauder hellion timings. If Stephano stops it though (which he has several times) he's way behind.

You should quickly go, this two never do aggro builds until 7min mark.

What does Polt have against upgrades?


thats just his style and he does really well with it, thanks to his superior control he does alot of damage and then just stays alive till 3/3 and carries over the advantage, with delaying the opponents attack so long. But stephano figured out polt and adapted to polts play (which deals with lings really good, but fails against roaches early game and if he does no damage, the upgrade disadvantage gets problematic). So now its polt time to adapt, but it doesn't seems like he was in the mood for it.

Man I wonder if Polt is just refusing to cheese/all-in Stephano out of pride - wanting to win in a straight up game

This will be hellion/marauder timing from Polt. Knowing that build in and out.

On another note: I think midgame cloak banshee would do every Terran good against Stephano, just to snipe infestors / force fungals etc.

Nope.

If Stephano beats DRG in the finals, then it'd be pretty hard to say anything to the contrary.


GSL Code S. That is all. MKP beat DRG too, DRG is still better.

That would also demonstrate nothing but ZvZ.

To be fair Stephano is Code S level and if he wanted to go to Korea he probably would've gotten the seed over Naniwa (much much better results than Naniwa).
