I thought it would be like the winter arena where you had to watch the individual VODs. TY  | ||

Even if it isn't scouted if Zerg is going mutas (which I would call the more common/standard play) Terran is screwed. Or even if Zerg has some banelings and micros properly he can hold and come out very ahead. Its cheesy, but Polt metagamed Stephano and his style (much like MVP did at Blizzard Cup). oh it's totally a cheese build, i don't see why anyone would dispute that - but in a chat with some friends i was talking about what a great idea it was given that hard countered stephano's build even if he did do the roach build he did the previous two games i think he still gets slaughtered because you need a spire not an infestation pit halfway done stephano didn't build a single muta or baneling the whole series - mutas shut this down, banelings can possibly help against the hellions if you get a good hit | ||

One perfect example would be alive, who is undefeated against stephano, and all the games weren't even close. Yea they faced in NASL S3 Qualifiers and Stephano got manhandled by aLive doing like 3 simultaneous drops and then pushing him with marine tank | ||

I would say overall I agree with you, but Stephano has more than shown that he can stand toe to toe with Polt. I wouldn't so easily write him off. Yes, he did lose, but he lost in a pretty great series. | ||

Yep, vVv is having quite the good showing so far (glon, RuFF). As are LighT (Heavens almost beat aLive, Golden). | ||

Don't really mind koreans winning, but I wish foreigners could go at least something like 20-80 against them, that would make competition more juicy. Now it is just again a slaughter. | ||

CC first -> Factory is very risky, but that was a good meta-game choice by Polt, since he's never seen Stephano bust out early lings. Going pure lings is very risky as well, but that was not a good meta-game choice by Stephano, since he's seen Polt do this hellion marauder timing before. The irony is, and the thing you guys aren't seeing, is that Stephano went roaches TWO games in a row thinking he needed it against this kind of push. He WAS playing safe against it. The one game he goes pure lings, he loses to it. Sad but it's the issue with not saccing an overlord. Drone scout isn't that useful in this case because you can't see what's inside the Terran's base. The map is huge so it's not easy to send an overlord. | ||

So basically outside of Huk and maybe Thorzain, the top 16 will basically be korea.

Sase and some other players have upset potential | ||

There is a reason why Polt want to avoid such games.. Game 1 is terran favored (map) if they go tanks, but in longer series I doubt polt would ever want to play the macro game with Stephano. Their series in Texas shows what happens. | ||

Polt played this style vs. Stephano before. It made for really great micro games when it was roach ling vs. hellion marauder. I think Stephano is 50-50 vs. it when he goes roach ling. Going spire is a hard counter, but it depends on how much Terran commits. Muta ling baneling will destroy the composition but without roaches you're still looking to take some damage and then Terran can transition to marine medivac if he didn't commit too much. Polt did that game, but that was because he saw Stephano wasn't going muta. | ||
