you're actually going to question that polt is better than sortof? lol

i mean judging by their recent play and results along with what they have been showing tonight. i'm not saying sortof is bad, i'm saying Polt is better.

Wow I remember when SortOf was a simple GM among others in EU and it was the first GM zerg i was able to beat in a cup, now he is competing for the 3rd place of a major tourney against a past GSL superchampion. Scary.
Go Poltimus tho!

banelings without speed are pretty much useless against good T in those cases. They explode far away of anything, you pray that your opponent makes a micro mistake.



....not at all, it forces out more stims and forces the T army to back off.



? you just target them while kitting or spread behind the marau depending on the number of banes. /w Polt micro it's pretty easy.
Zest fanboy.

The main two ways I've seen this push held off are having Roaches mixed in and at least one game I can recall Zerg surround and ram with banelings. Not sure how cost effective the latter is though.

My TSL fanboyism is playing part, but I think Polt vs HyuN would be a lot closer than this. Nothing against SortOf, he played much better than HyuN, but HyuN's ZvT is probably the best currently.

They're not on the same level, are they


Polt is possibly playing the best Terran in the world right now, so I would say no.


I think bomber plays better on average lately but is less stable.


Bomber vP is definitely better, probably the best TvPer nowadays but I think his vZ is way worse than Polt's one currently and to go far in foreign tournaments... you better have a good vZ


If you compare polts vz prepatch to postpatch it looks much stronger. Its difficult to judge if the same applies to bomber. I agree with you though that polts current vz compared to last time I saw bombers vz is much better.

We already know Polt is better.

Doesn't mean that Sortof didn't play game 1 really well before that amateur drop reaction moment.

It's a lot of micro, using marauders to tank damage while helions and marines do damage. I guess Zergs just assume other races only need to a-move too.

um I don't play zerg but there's absolutely no way he could have defended with zerglings alone unless he luckily caught hellions with a surround before the actual timing..

You and 16.000 others. I tried 17 times yesterday and failed - even having someone else type for me on other screen.
It's just not funny so hard.

In fact, I think it's distracting from the games, they should remove that bar and just send codes in whisper to random subscribers (im not a subscriber). I just don't want to be distracted from the matches.
Comparing BW with SCII is like comparing a beautiful three-master sailing ship with a modern battlecruiser. Both are beautiful in their own way, both perform the same task, but they are worlds apart in how they are built and how they are steered.
