This map is a lot less chokey, and I've seen JD play some impressive ZvT on it iirc. Hope he can pull a set back!

lol, why is it called the kong award?


Once there was a man named Hong, who would always get 2nd place in Starleague and win special events. Eventually, Hong became Kong, and today, many a progamer honor his legacy. Yellow

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.


Terran tiers are different than Zerg tiers.

Medivacs are technically tier 2.5 because they come from Starports (which are technically tier 3) yet can be reactored which puts them on a different tier than Ravens and BCs which require Tech Labs.

Thors are traditionally considered Tier 3, yet come from Factories (tier 2 structure) and are on the same tech requirement as Helbats which are considered by most to be tier 1.5 units.

Terran tech trees are strange and not linear AT ALL. Zerg is the only race with a straight linear tech tree.

I invite any of you to try getting 5-6 Ultralisks out while under constant 3base attacks by a Marine/Medivac/Mine army. I doubt Jaedong had both money and idle larvae for Ultras at any point in that mid-game.

With 2k gas it shouldn't be that hard.


Your money actually doesn't matter when you're spending all your larvae on Lings to hold off the endless onslaught of MULE-powered bio.

I like how salty zergs totally disregard the importance of mines (Tier2) and medivacs (Tier3) in biomine play and just complain about Tier1 3/3 Marines.

JD overmade mutas, didn't take advantage of his lead and suicided his army on a choke, with no flank whatsoever. He didn't play perfectly, and Polt's aggression play, very dangerous both for JD and himself made him come back in this game.


T3 medivacs? no... These tier things are a joke anyway.
As a terran I did feel a bit guilty seeing jaedong lose this. His play was amazing for 95% of the game. The deciding engagement where he had a big lead but down on upgrades went so badly for him though, didnt seem to have enough banelings and all his army didnt engage at once. One mistake vs 3-3 marines and he died.

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


I'm not gonna call you bad since I'm probably worse, but you're not winning engagements if you trade bad. You just think that you win because you clean it up when in reality you trade badly, just so you know.

I rarely root for zerg and balance whine is never nice but After these two last games I cant help but feel a little bit of sympathy for the zergs and the whine.

But if they grow up they may start complaining about other things... like political parties.

And nobody wants that.

Growing up just means you whine about different crap, not that you stop whining, for at least 95% of the human race. (p=.0005)
Yes, I email sponsors... to thank them. Don't post drunk, kids. My king, what has become of you?

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.


And here I was trying to draw a link between Marineking and King Kong

He is about to be between the greatest sc2 kongs if Polt continues to play like this.

Agree, I think it's equally difficult to assign tiers to both T, P is somewhat easier, and Z easiest obviously.
T: Polt, Fantasy, Flash, Jjakji. P: HerO, Rain, Grubby, SoS. Z: Jaedong, Scarlett, Snute, Life. Casters: ToD, Apollo, MrBitter, Artosis, Day[9].
