I think this would be really silly as there is still a chance he could have made the final still, but it would be good tihnking to mindgame considering that large tourneys might be coming up and he didn't want to give away his zvt style just for polt


see this guy gets it!!111


so do you lose on purpose to hide your style for future tournaments?


indeed, im aiming for a gsl 2015 coming out party

Gotta say though, even though there are still probably more than a thousand people there, those empty seats sadden me.

The venue is full, but the bars are on the balconies around the seats. You are not allowed to bring beer to the seats so they're all up there. Swedes like to drink you know.

Because they like him.

It's still kind of weird to cheer just because he said something.



Let's have more awkward silences when interviewing Koreans !

Gosh those are so depressing. Especially in cases when Koreans don't have interpreters and interviewers still try asking them questions in English.

Well I'm glad MYM put together the money to send a code b player to a dreamhack. Goes to show how strong the pool is even sub-code a.

So frustrating...I don't get why some zerg turn their army into 99% BL or ultra when they get the tech.
Much better to get a few to supplement a meaty army. Especially with ultra, they should tank while ling/baneling do the damage.


Because they're stupid.
I'm sorry but that's totaly the reason for it.
BLs work better for that because they generate infinite amount of free lings.

But pro zerg player just DONT understand that only Ultra is bad bad bad.

ummm....no
because it takes a long time to get ultras and broodlords at the same time. It is much better off forcing an over respond from terran (too much viking/marauders) then transition to the other path.
OR get both once the army traded fairly evenly and have time to get both ultras and broodlords


I'm not talking about making a BL / Ultra army.

But going only ultra is bad. Ultra ling infestor, or Ultra ling bane are what you should be aimed at.
Having 12 Ultra and nothing else is BAD.

He had NO POOL and had infestors poping from that base. that answered for you
No pro go only ultras or only broodlords


You'd be surprised by how many pro go only Ultra.
I can understand why he wasn't able to build almost only ultra in this game.
But that doesn't make Ultra a bad unit.

Polt 22-1 in this tournament so far. If he sweeps the finals I think it will be the highest winning % in a premier tournament since Nestea went undefeated in the GSL.

Since this comes from a pro, it must be accurate for sure

I don't get all the attitude about Ret. He played really, REALLY well, and would've won that game if Polt hadn't made the absolutely great decision to load of 4 medvacs and drop.

After that, Ret was in a tough position, with Ultra tech able to come up way quicker than BL, and Polt capable of pushing out 5 vikings at once. Give Polt credit for a smart, decisive move in an otherwise unwinable position.

As for the brainless wonders who don't understand why Ret went in before the infestors came out, it's because Polt was moving his tanks/marines into position around Ret's 5th (well, 4th since the 3rd died.... Whatever.) If he let him get there and seige, 6 infestores would've made no difference. He was down like 60 supply, and losing one of his only two mining bases was a quick way to ensure the game was over. If you want to criticize his play, there are other things you can do that make more sense than criticizing that particular decision.

Polt always waits until brood lords are out before making vikings, he always starts doom dropping once the brood lords are out while using his remaining tank/marine/thor force to fend off the attack. The beauty of the Stephano vs Polt matchup is that Stephano acknowledges these tactics and adjusts his own army position to compensate, and consequently Polt makes his own adjustments.

Someone posted the list of players he beat in it earlier, honestly what he said about a standard KR GM ladder session for polt being harder is probably correct. Polt too fucking beastly man.
