He hasn't played any Code S Protosses either. | ||

Good series once again. Happy that it didn't have to go to the late game where I think Stephano would have won if he was able to macro up like set two. Sheth/Polt should be good. Pretty sure they faced at Orlando and Polt won 2-0, but who knows? Hope Stephano makes it through the Losers Bracket and faces Polt once more. | ||

I was the same, thought he was a fluke basically until he won the last one against polt. Now I catch his stream whenever it's on and think he's generally awesome. :D | ||

It's the first time I see a game so one sided between the 2. I think Stephano won't do well in this MLG, and in every MLG for that matter, he didn't play very well, format doesn't seem to suit him. Format being....? Too many strong players? | ||

Because Polt didn't turtle up to 200/200 and wait for Stephano's BL and Stephano is a foreigner and Stephano lost, therefore it makes Polt's build cheese. | ||

Are you kidding me? He lost because he failed to scout at all. A drone scout would've given him the chance to at least attempt to punish the CC first. An overlord scout would have given him information on what was happening (hellion marauder means few marines = overlords can get in quite far before dying), or a ling outside the base might've given Stephano chance to build some spines. Fact is, Stephano blindly played greedy macro and Polt correctly predicted this, allowing him to go CC first in relative safety and time a push to kill Stephano just before 1-1 finished and before infestors could be out. Polt won the game with excellent prediction and execution, as much as Stephano lost it with bad scouting and greedy play, but the map wasn't a factor. | ||

Anyway, good call by Polt. If Stephano build roaches he probably holds. These are the risks Stephano bears by not scouting.
