Medivacs are not T3... Marine/Mine/Medivac is just better than Muta/Ling/Bane, and with Polt's ridiculously good macro and battle mechanics, it's virtually impossible to tech up through his aggression.

What a textbook TvZ right there.


Did they leave out the chapter about reacting to banelings in your mineral line?

Banelings and ling runbys are part of it. Z lets T get 3-3 marines and sticks to muta/ling/bling, Z is going to lose. It's been like this for 4 years.

As far as i remember, in WoL if u can kill that much SCV, w/out the help of mine, it consider over as T does not have any thing to trade economically, mmm vs bio/zergling/muta trade is about same cost

TvZ is why I quit playing SC2... call me bad if you'd like, but there's nothing more frustrating than winning engagement after engagement and losing so convincingly once terran gets 3/3

Well, they probably became softer in the BL/Infestor era, else TL.net would be only zergs right now

How Revival won on this map in the same exact situation was just make some more mutas, use them primarily for killing off the rest of Polt's economy (which Polt just ignored) and then he tech switched into ultras (and I think infestors). Polt won a few more battles, but eventually couldn't reproduce units off a shit economy and lost. Polt even had the 3/3 vs. Revival's weaker upgrades for most of the game, too.


This is akin to telling Terran to build more Tanks, Ravens and BC's to counteract zerg making nothing but zerglings.

I don't think so but it really sucked to see her lose to a 6 pool. Heartbreaking for her probably.

A) Jaedong fell behind in upgrade

B) Jaedong overmade mutas, this ain't ZvP where mutas own everything without phoenix

C) Polt

I don't see what Polt did that was so good. His splits were awful and he kept taking econlmic dmg. Gotta be fun to not need scv's cause of mules and no need to tech on top of that.

His splits weren't immaculate, but they were good enough. When Jaedong is throwing banes non stop into them (with a few packs getting wrecked by mines), and then throwing banes into mineral lines, and THEN throwing mutas at the marine ball, that gets expensive. Meanwhile, Polt is sticking to the cheap HotS MMM.

No they are the same if equal upgrade. 3/3 vs 2/2 is like a huge powerup you know.

Jaedong isn't playing SO poorly, Polt is just playing the hell out of Terran, lol. If theres anyone thats the embodiment of the Terran style, its Polt.

Look, we all hate shitty balance whining and know it's sacrilegious to talk about it, but this game still isn't even close to reaching it's full potential and has many more updates left til' in it's final state, if it ever luckily reached that point. JD literally destroyed him that game. This will be an 4-0

Seeing how close the series JD - Scarlett we're.

I think she would have done equally good.

Widow mines are banelings with range and 3/3 marines eats every unit on the game for breakfast. Polt lost all scvs on one base twice, was 50 supply behind and stilk was able to crush zerg army. That is fun.

did you miss all the times that the widow mines backfired on terran players including polt in the game? They are as risky for terran although marines will survive more than slings just due to the higher hp but they'll be in the red range.

Kong means bean in Korean, and like a bean, there will always be a line involving a second, and in this case, a constant second-placer.
