Lol Polt just guesses what Hive tech is going to be, and he guessed wrong in both games 3 and 5.

actually, I don't think it's a guess.


I think its more of "gotta kill before blords are out, gotta kill, GOTTA KILL!"


This is exactly right. Polt probably has had a lot of practice vs zerg trying to get vikings out in time to match the broodlord corruptor infestor but found it was a worthless battle because infestor is just so damn cost efficient that vikings are basically worthless.

Corruptors are the issue, they should not exist in the game and brood lords should come from mutalisks. Without corruptors it'd be split vikings vs infestor and mutas, which can be outranged by thors. It becomes way more strategical.

Also, blizzard please make ghosts cost 50/150 or something more gas than minerals because late game terran has too much gas.

CORRUPTORS KILLING ESPORTS!


IMO this is what I think Polt should have done:

Build supply depot walls
Build Planetary behind depot walls, siege tanks around planetary, and couple of vikings too
Build ghost academy, build nukes, start to drop nuke harass everywhere
build starports, fusion core, start building dem ravens vikings cattlebruisers

if Violet tried to engage with his zerg deathball, Polt pre-empitively nuke to prevent them from engaging
Then after 3/3 air upgrade finished for Terran, Polt moves out for an easy win

That's how I win most of my silver league TvZ games.

Pity that neither Polt nor viOLet play at Silver level, then.


Pretty sure they were once at that level lol

so at least you guys will have more players in the top 8 than Terran at that tournament if it makes you feel better


And Mvp is injured and is supposed to not play any SC2 to for 3 months to fully rest. If he drops out, then they'll probably just give it to MC.

Lol @ people citing BWC and WCG. That was more of a Koreans > foreigners thing rather than a Protoss thing. And yes, Yonghwa and MKP lost to foreigners, but those were obviously upsets.

In the tournaments in which we actually have almost all the top Koreans participating, we're seeing Zerg dominate pretty hard.

To be fair, ZvZ isn't that entertaining unless it's two really good players because then it generally degenerates into a massive slugfest game.

honestly it's only entertaining in the ling bane phase, which the queen's extra range apparently makes less effective anyways


Ling bane is always entertaining...not really sure why but it is.

Cuz there's micro involved, and even though you can't see half the shit that's going on because you can't tell whose lings are whose, it's still a hell of a lot better than two waves of roaches slam into each other with both sides only semi-splitting in order to get the best concave. Oh yeah, and then they both turn into giant globs of green goo.


That's why I love Hero so much...his stalker micro makes me drool. We want micro, we want MICRO!
