I don't like immature BM Foreigners =P, so I hope Finale wins this, specially after the Naniwhine tweet yesterday. BTW, I dream with a First vs Bomber finals too, but not sure if it won't be one sided as hell unless Bomber's Law effect applies. Also I am cheering for Taeja and JaeDong! Those two can make a good finals too I think | ||

Polt has very good strategic thinking when it comes to armymovement, which I guess is why he favours a big army over upgrades, but his overall strategies were an F those games. First was given a pretty easy victory. Also PvT is fucking hard for terran  What I absolutely don't understand is, if losing the early reaper was that terrible and crippling, to the point that you might want to burn a scan to figure out what's going on... Why isn't building a second reaper an option? It costs you 50 gas and 2 marine's worth of build time... if being blind is as terrible as the casters are saying, that should be an acceptable option, no? Then again, it seemed Polt's idea was to just hit a Stim timing anyways which you can do just fine blind sorta, but FIrst scared him into defending instead... Speaking of which, there's something about Terrans and scans. They don't seem to realize things that happen *after* a scan is dropped should be suspected (like all those games Symbol would drop a tech building after a scan, then cancel or just not use it... I mean how transparent is that? and it still worked!). I get that you have more evidence that something is happening and no confirmation that it's a fake, just the suspicious timing, so it is a hard spot. But they seem to always fall for it, rather than try to get double confirmation (granted, it's not easy after already using a scan). | ||

Just look at this game : Polt lose his reaper with a stupid mistakes, First decides to take a 3rd base. What could Polt do ? Can't leave his base, because if First went for a little agression, marines will get caught and the game is lost ; Can't scout with a SCV because there are stalkers on the map ; can't turtle because he lets his opponent get ahead. Only solution is, blindly hard countering your opponent. It sure was a mistake by Polt, and First was really clever, really knew how to use it, but I can't feel anything except disappointment, looking at this serie. TvT and TvZ are the only match-up where you can get back & forth games. In PvT, if either side does a small mistake early on, the game is over. Same for PvP and PvZ. ZvZ isn't that far either. | ||

There are more ways to scout than that. | ||
