Not the most inspiring play by Jjakji, but effective. Polt wanted to play macro games. Jjakji saw this, so he just all-inned and it worked. Should have been on Polt to adapt to Jjakji's willingness to all-in and not continue going CC first and having only a handful of marines for the first few minutes.


Yeah, as a player who always likes macro based play (as a Terran no less), this is really on Polt. 1 Barracks FE in a TvT is just such a completely unsafe build. He needs to be a bit more adaptive and understand his opponents tendencies and the current metagame.

1 Rax FE or die trying = much more dying.

He should at least Reaper expand. At least that way you can catch somebody going really fast Banshee/Tank tech with only a couple marines and do a ton of damage. You also get a crap-load of scouting information.

Because they're good? If your build sucks against 1 base terran which is like, some of the most common stuff in the world then it's a bad build and you shouldn't do it 4 games in a row. If you can't do FE builds then the meta needs to change. It'd be the dumbest thing I've ever heard if you both just agree to FE instead of using the better build. It's not even completely all-in because you get good tech, and the only way to counter it with is your own 1 base.



Sorry, i didnt mean it that way, i was just expressing the fact that i was suprised of his play today, he is usually such a macro oriented player.

Yeah, Kas also fell to Jjakji because he played too macro heavy (amongst other things, but the openings strongly reminded me of those games).

Jjakji has never been a macro-oriented player in TvT.

Sad to see Polt go down but jjakji's TvT (and all-around) has been looking incredibly slick this year.
