It sucks because Leenock and Violet are two entertaining players, but people have had enough of all these ZvZs. | ||

Because terran players have tried to emp infestors....It's insanely hard to do, insanely hard doesn't even begin to hard it is. It's borderline impossible if your opponent is paying attention. That's why the psionic fungal immunity change was good, you could actually use ghosts to emp infestors. | ||

His pre-Hive push got cleared, how could he afford additional tech while he first had to remax? By which time it was too late because BLs were out. Standard TvZ story. | ||

The problem is that composition is just impossible to beat cost-effectively w/o overexposing yourself to a big tech switch... You would think that Zerg would be vulnerable while they tech to broods, but it seemed to me that Violet's killer 15 minute brood-lord timing was just too much for Polt. He never did enough damage with his hellions, despite the massive investment. Also, let's give credit to Violet, he had some amazing infested terran spams before rushing with his units to draw away tank fire, and his compositions and fungals were always spot on. Polt should have scouted more and prepared more for this inevitable brood lord push, especially since he died to it twice before already. | ||

You know zerg is gonna be making Infestors. That's what would work in YOUR league. Violet isn't stupid enough to have his infestors EMP'd so easily.. He even had 2~3 overseers for that not to happen. | ||

Violet did have good engagements, but there didn't really seem like there was anything that Polt did wrong. He could have spread those tanks out better, but that wouldn't really change the outcome of the game. I also understand the upgrades were a bit different. But still, that all looked very easy. And now we have a ZvZ finals for the second day in a row. First the GSL, and now the IPL. Not long ago we had Life vs. Leenock. Well whatever. HOTS comes out soon, and the whole meta-game is going to start anew, so .. I guess no real need to worry about any imbalance starting March or so. I think that Polt actually took his third quite late and Violet took his third very early. Violet's early Roach aggression helped with both of those things. The Zerg took no harrass damage to his economy, Violet played pretty greedy to get his economy up and running. He also spread creep very aggressively giving him map vision over the central area. Once he had enough hatches and workers, he could just build attacking units. After his initial Roach push was denied, Violet always made sure to attack Polt's forces in the large open central space. On creep this was ideal conditions for a well-co-ordinated Zerg attack. None of Polt's drops did any damage at all. So Violet just powered his army up to the point where he could win the 2 decisive main battles. Effectively Violet controlled the game. | ||
