Imbecile. More like calculated risks, lots of which are now easier to scout by zergs thanks to the speed buff to overlords. Not saying you shouldn't do anything but its far, far far harder to do anything now to zergs because of the buff, and its too much of a simplistic view to say that you need to do something when you get demonstrations of force like that from LosirA and Yughio. Perhaps you can point us to a game where a zerg did something similar but got shut down before you go out of your way to call someone an imbecile. | ||

I think that's clearly a tell that you can afford to play super greedy. Losira played very smart because he knew exactly the way Polt ALWAYS plays. Polt is very solid but also very predictable. | ||

Every other Terran has not picked up a win this season. Those Terrans include MMA, Alive, and now Polt. To be fair, the teams so fair have barely used Terran. Don't you get Fionn? It's because there's been a sudden surge in skill for players of all the other races. It's obvious, judging from these live report threads. | ||

I'm not sure... but with that insane of a creep spread, I'm not sure Polt would have been able to land any of CCs at any expansions. And he did get 3 or so extra CCs after his 3rd. Just couldn't land them anyway due to the insane creep spread. I don't play Terran and mostly watch pro games anyway, but the issue I have is that TvZ wasn't really that imbalanced prior to the patch and was actually the best match-up in the game, and Blizzard makes such a HUGE change (overlord change was ok, but Queen change was HUGE) and you're actually really seeing its effects in every TvZ. Terrans are having trouble pressuring early while Zerg suddenly have so much more map control and scouting with the insane creep spreads in EVERY TvZ. And when it gets to the late game also, it's been evident for quite awhile that Zerg's lategame with their ability to tech switch is better than Terrans. Terrans have to do some pressure early and mid game to stay even with Zerg, but Terrans currently haven't found a solution to continue to do it. | ||

Hyun takes a gas and starts droning while he attacks. 4:00 Micro catches some lings, loses a drone, before his own lings pop and defend. Hyun has speed coming, while Losira takes a hatch | ||

Of course it is harder, that's the main point of a patch isn't it? To make games balance? You might think its balance to have hellions burn 20+ drones with just 4 hellions but I can tell you, in the eyes of blizzard its not. And rightfully so. | ||

Ofcourse it takes time to become good, but compared to someone like ForGG it looks like he is learning way slower. | ||

I agree, despite the fact Polt couldn't pressure for a long time, he had really good engagements and did tons of damage, he could have won the game if he either, defended the run by or if he had scouted and denied the top bases of LosirA. This is why I believe that no matter what you always need to keep helions alive and to actively use them to scout and maybe catch sneaky bases. Though it probably would be hard to scout the map when half of it is covered in creep. | ||
