wasn't able to watch anything today. some of these results make me really happy (Alive!!!! proving the haters wrong, BOMBER!!!! <3, Taeja!!!! <3, and for some reason also Innovation bombing out) and some make me really sad (Grubby nooooooooooooooooooooooo =/ although i guess it was predictable considering the group he was in). should be a sick day tomorrow, the only one i'll actually be able to watch. fucking real life man

Innovation is such a conundrum.

So true statements are:
1. Unbeatable TvZ.
2. Dies to cheese
3. Best multitasker on planet

With heavy possibilities in:
2. Best macro player on the planet
3. One of best TvT players(straight-up)

I think we can also assume he has weak TvP. Seems like he didn't really understand how to play it. It's just his macro is so sick it usually hides that fact.

Yeah I watched that one. Was a great game

I missed all of polts and alives as well as marus games (except a little of the scarlett alive game). Anything worthwhile there?

scausarlet? :D cause comeon.... polt is not usa, he is just so handsome, so you just have to cheer for him as a american

Polt? Of course not. He's not winning(yet). I meant Jaedong Taeja and Alive.


yeah well ok but back to polt. he looked very very weak against first, thats the thing and i know why. Polt havent played any korean protoss in the wcs am, besides alicia and first is imho one of the top 3 protoss ww atm (sos+rain/parting).

To be fair, he often gets into positions where he can just a-move the protoss.

I don't think his TvP is weak. I only watched the second game vs Naniwa on Newkirk, but it was more like a lack of gameplan than anything. His drops through the bottom route while posturing at the third kept failing due to Naniwa's observers, yet he didn't really try anything else. Overall there's no big flaw in his play, and we all know of his mechanics, but he just seemed at a loss of what to do. Maybe he's the type who needs a coach to plan out his games in advance so he can concentrate on the execution?

Your right. He's not weak, just weakest imo.

I was just really shocked how convincing a win it was by Naniwa and the mistakes by Innovation.

Wow aLive doing so well!


I know, right? I watched his games against Scarlett and Jim in the final rounds of WCS America. He looked completely helpless. Polt dominated in the same matchups, although against different opponents. Perhaps he had bad strategies/builds those days?


i think most terrans are afread keep pushing zergs in the middle game, but thats right... there is the key to crush the zerg, cause there is the main issue of the hots zergs atm, just keep pushing. cause in the last months that was the key. just watch last games from bogus vs soulkey and the final polt vs jd. just dont let the zerg easy transfer to t3 ultras or broods with a good bank. polt and bogus found the right way. imho flash was the first who proper showed that kind of middle game. he just crushed every zerg with this mmmm pressuring style with just rallying massmarines and dropping all over the place and not letting the zerg transfering to t3. i think the usual 10-12 banlings trade for scvs does more damage to the zerg... again last high zvt games bogus vs soulkey wcs/prolegue polt vs jd wcs am finals.

ps: sry for wall of text, to much beer and still pumped from those mc vs jaedong games

He's 7-3 against Rain, who is no slouch in any matchup really, but especially good at vT. One series does not a weak matchup make.
