Textbook hold. Congratz Polt.


Well, the textbook says: scout the tech, and if it is ling/baneling/roach build tanks. But well, good hold nevertheless.

Thanks for the reminder

lol, Jaedongs won five starleagues. Associating him with kong anything is silly

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

Pfft, its all starcraft just because you weren't around didn't mean it didn't happen

That looked close for Jaedong! Too bad he couldn't break Polt. Supply even but Polt is definitely ahead.

Jaedong is so far behind in upgrades again. This isn't looking good for him at all.

What was the point in that? Did he accept that they were going to die anyway and just put 1 marine in to mess with the zerg AI?

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.


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.

Oh god, I hate that argument. It's just standard Zerg balance whine, and it gets in the way of actual balance discussion.

No, he did it to force Jaedong to use his Banelings on Bunkers instead of on the bio units.

its so hard being a JD fan lately ;( always so close with 2nd place finishes to get our hopes up then the loss.
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.
