I thought Golden played surprisingly well, and I also didn't know the patch was live until they said so on the cast, making infestors a bit harder to use.

Polt seemed pretty solid but quite unprepared for ultras and over-vikinged. Losing that Raven at the XNT was painful to watch.

it would have been better if the HSMs were used on the mineral lines imo. tons of drones there


to add on to this, Polt lost because he never did any real economic damage

Polt was able to trade armies and snipe some buildings, but Golden always had a bank to rebuild

Too bad Polt didn't take more bases (or take more time to secure them), It would have been a lot better for him

What did Polt do wrong to deserve to lose that game? Enlighten me.


Didn't take an earlier 5th.

I cannot even begin to express how much better TvZ is after the patch.

Zerg still won , but it was a earned win and an exciting game. Pre- patch zerg would of rolled polt with the first maxed broodlord infestor push.

those 2 seeker missiles in the zerg army at the 4th were huge (even tho the casters missed them) its awesome that they are able to come out in time to combat broodlord infestor now. Great ghost usage by Polt too. I feel if polt was able to clear out the bottom right base and get it established he could of won that game. still incredibly close.

Even though I didn't watch most of that game, I thought that it was a great game. The new patch changed some things and the players are bringing in unique strategies that the game sounded interesting and looked amazing.

Such a good game but feeling that 'how is Polt supposed to do better' too. I guess taking the 5th.

And just because the game was patched doesn't mean it wasn't a failed patch...

normally I wouldn't care about Golden but he just lost his team suddenly, if he wins I won't be that upset.

i hate the 6mineral base on daybreak. its a huge buff to zerg because the less mineral patches per base, the MORE zerg is buffed

which is why i dont agree with the whole "change game to 6mineral 1gas" idea lots of people are talking about, because less minerals per base actually buffs zerg because each new base is harder for non-zergs to take meaning more minerals in a single base is better for non-zergs, and less minerals in a single base hurts non-zergs against zerg

Polt did have a good exchange to destroy the brood lord army, but he didn't secure that corner expansion fast enough and Golden switched to ling/ultra and kept harassing, starving Polt to death.

does the patch even do anything significant?

-1 range to fungal, 70 health on IT.

1 storm with kill IT, Ghosts can actually be pretty useful. Polt kind of threw this one IMO.


oh i see polt thru it, golden didn't win. that makes sense because golden has no offline achievements and polt is polt. i am willing to bet polt is jet lagged since golden lives in CA

Golden actually did play really great there. The quick-thinking of ALWAYS putting a new ling back under that bottom command center was really brilliant.

Agreed. Apart from excellent micro from Polt Golden played that out better than him, he never let his top base be touched at all, despite constant efforts by Polt, and in a really long macro game the only stuff he lost was a greater spire (while focusing on Ultras and infestors) and a spawning pool, whereas Golden killed Polt's 4th and never ever let Polt's 5th go up.

Have they announced the prize pool for the tournament yet?
