Oh, so its an excuse that people are using to needlessly hate on new pro players? Alrighty then.

You could interpret it that way if you'd rather not see it for what it is, I guess.


That's exactly what it is.

can anyone give a quick recap of the free for all?

I didn't get to see it, looks interesting. Thanks in advance!


Summary:

+ Show Spoiler +
Demuslim (T) and Hyun (Z) spawn in upper-left, Taeja (Z) and Rotterdam (P) spawn in lower-left, Golden (P) spawns alone in upper-right, Gretorp (T) spawns alone in lower-right. Hyun tries to drone-rush Demuslim, fails, and Demuslim mercilessly goes for the kill soon after. Taeja expands in a straight diagonal line towards the center, leaving Rotter in his little corner, while Gretorp builds a lot of CCs. Golden spends a lot of time harassing then quickly saying "sorry". Taeja tries to squeeze Rotterdam out of the game with a spine crawler push, but Rotterdam actually has units and stays alive long enough for Demuslim to tryhard Taeja out of the game. Golden continues to poke at various corners of the map, apologizing every time, while Gretorp...builds a lot of CCs.

There's a long lull in the game as everyone claims their corner of the map; Golden remains the most assertive presence. Eventually we see a lot of nukes around the edges of armies as Golden moves into the center. Demuslim's girlfriend massages his shoulders while he plays. The casters announce a new win condition at ~38-40 game minutes: whoever holds the watchtower at 55 minutes wins. Hyun massages Golden's shoulders while he plays. Golden tries to build a lot of cannons and keeps on getting whittled down by nukes. Gretorp actually has units now to support his 15 CCs, mostly tanks and vikings, while Rotterdam has a ton of everything, and Demuslim has a very high-tech air army with ghosts. At one minute remaining, Gretorp sieges up in range of the center, Rotterdam moves in with storms, and Demuslim waits another few seconds, then has the most units in the middle when time is called.

Looks like foreign zergs have pretty bad zvt

cuz most foreign terrans are bad.


I think Sortof would agree, he said his ZvZ was good because of the good Euro Zergs, and there wasn't as many terrans.

Yeah it's pretty unfair on pro Zergs, especially those who through no fault of their own were previously unknown or have only been breaking through now. SortOf only relatively recently started playing fulltime didn't he?

dat memory

Memory's got nothing to do with it, I am close to certain that Fionn has some sort of 'Polt file' in his possession, maybe compiled by himself, maybe with the aid of Private Investigators that he's paid.

When did Polt's macro get this good? This is Bomber level macro I'm seeing here.
