lol, why is it called the kong award?

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


Honestly I thought it was because the first place was the King, so the second had to be the Kong.

He did in game 2... roaches are a horrible waste of resources vs. bio-mine play unless you're going for a roach-baneling bust.

Isn't it because Yellow's nickname is Kong? A play on his looks and the fact that his name is Hong?

i love how people are balance whining, even though Polt pulled those same comebacks in the Lings of Liberty era. watch his games vs Stephano. he always bleeds SCVs but wins engagements. also, if you want to whine about tech levels: Polt was on T3 (medivacs) while JD was only investing in T1 ling/bane and T2 muta.

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.

The whole concept of "tiers" is stupid and irrelevant to StarCraft in that case. Medivacs require far less tech advancement than Mutas to make, and they're much more cost-efficient for their use. It's just how the races operate, but by default, Terran will almost always have Medivacs before Zerg has Mutas in a standard Ling-based ZvT. To argue that Terran had T3 while Zerg had only T1/2 is entirely irrelevant.

It's lovely how everyone assumed if people are confused by what just happened, they have to be the certain race that got pummeled. Sometimes it's terrans that are just as confused and wondering how Polt won that game.

Jaedong has gone with a different strat in 4/4 games. Don't see that often from a Zerg.
i was driving down the road this november eve and spotted a hitchhiker walking down the street. i pulled over and saw that it was only a tree. i uprooted it and put it in my trunk. do trees like marshmallow peeps? cause that's all i have and will have.

I don't even know any more. T_T

I'm gonna choose to believe its everything all at once and that its actually just the perfect word for constant-2nd-placers, lol.

I agree with that conclusion. I was just posting to deflate some of this "Terran only uses tier 1 units" balance whine by explaining just how inaccurate that is.
