Go Polt crush this Zerg
To all the haters: you deserve to witness many, many more Serral victories, worthy of the godlike player he is.

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.


Bomber vZ is either 2rax into mech or his 3b all in? Or i miss something? If it's that I acknowledge he had better results but it's not solid at all, imo his 3b build can be dealt quite well if you prepare for it.

Polt is a champion level player from Korea... why are we even having this discussion it's beyond obvious. It's like saying MVP is better than some foreign Terran with no titles - everyone knows it and it's so obvious to point out lol. Sortof played really good in game 1, especially his spread before the first major engagement vs. Ravens, but his follow up since then in both games not so good.

Greedy play actually to not get a baneling nest after seeing 3 rax early like that


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.



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.


Well it required Code B-A level scouting with lings to know at least 10-15 seconds ahead of time that rauder/hellion allin was coming. But ok. If you know what's coming then you don't necessarily have to scout proactively.

But what he did know was that hellions were out along with 3 rax+1 tech lab. On 2 base. I don't know about you but knowing even a little bit about Polt's style that is a HUGE giveaway to either an all-in or something crazy.

Not getting at least a baneling nest but getting 2/2 is greedy as fuck and anyone arguing otherwise is not framing the situation clearly

I think people were more surprised that SortOf defeated HyuN 3-0 rather than him outplaying HyuN (which he did).

Copy as soon as they pop up in the Twitch Chat. (Subscriber only, but you can read it.) Switch tab, paste into Blizzard account redeemer thing, submit, and pray.

That's what I would do, if I wasn't already in the Beta.


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.


Wait...what are those keys given in the stream?

Im in Twitch chat but no cd keys given there. Im not subscriber though but I can read it right...

Bomber plays a lot of tank bio lately with ridiculously impressive dropplay just like polt (less marauders). See his games vs drg in ipl for example

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.


Yeah, it wouldn't be easy. You have to be absolutely prepared (I think there's a set pattern to how the person posts them) and really really fast on the Ctrl-C, Ctrl-Tab, Ctrl-V, Enter micro.

But still it's going to have better chances than handwriting, I think.

Umm. I closed the chat awhile back, but there was someone posting beta keys in the chat awhile ago. One of the mods.
Yes, I email sponsors... to thank them. Don't post drunk, kids. My king, what has become of you?

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..


And how is that polt fault ? Also, helions / marauder requires micro, is not freaking a-move. He had time to prepare, scouted 3 rax and just decided to go full greedy.

Heh yeah that's kind of a no-brainer. I think you'll find that almost every person here knows that a regular code S contender like polt is better than sortof or any other foreigner.

G1 could have gone very differently though.
