All of the smaller stream casters have done a great job so far IMO. It's enjoyable to be able to tune into any stream and not worry about poor casting

I still don't get why they place people who have played in the upper bracket in the same lower bracket, almost like they want to encourage Extended series.

The games really didn't come down to speed, though. Polt wasn't playing his best (not controlling his hellions correctly, etc), but his predictable style was just eaten up. Sheth has probably watched every single Polt vs. Stephano game and countered him. He knew the six hellion/marine-medivac timing was coming and if he could defend that, he could expand and be more aggressive.

Just no variation from Polt. It is still his weakest match-up, but he really should have been able to play better than that. Oh well, Sheth played absolutely the way to beat Polt. If Polt is going to do the same build every game and try to force a late-mid/late game fight on 4+ bases, then just hold his six hellion/marine early pressure and then keep up pushing with lings/banes so he can't comfortably get up a third.

In game one, Sheth knew exactly when the timing was coming and countered with banes, pretty much killing any chance Polt had except if Sheth bungled it hard.

In game two, Polt did the same exact build, killed maybe a few creep, but Sheth already knew it was coming and held. Polt didn't get countered as easily, but Sheth just dropped him, killed more economy and basically gave himself a big lead again.
