Problem is, in TvP, if you lose your first reaper, it's pretty much over. You get a few all-in that you can still do, but apart from that, it's over. You cannot leave your base to scout anymore, and the protoss can pretty much do whatever he wants to do.

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.


Lke what, assuming you play standard/safe against all ins?

I thought he makes an excellent point.


What undead1993 said. Plus all the reconaissance en force you can do with early drops.


Early drops are already too late. Sure, it allows you to know what your opponent is doing. But it's already too late to act about it.

Banshee can be a good idea, especially with cloak, because you can even the game if your opponent didn't went for an all-in.
Blind scans are just bad 7 minutes into the game. Stop talking about them.


Banshee builds do terribly against any sort of robo opener too, which is the most common build at the moment it seems

I find it hilarious that people are suggesting Polt should "just scout with scan," when he was precisely tricked into overdefending because First faked to move out with his Sentries when Polt scanned his natural.

wtf is your point, if you want to know whats up, scan if you don't want to scan lose. wtf should the terran be able to see the whole map without even doing something for it, getting ridiculous with these terran guys

he has scans and scvs send some or scan some.


Nope. Scans miss, scvs die to stalkers patrolling outside the base.

anyone can confirm what build polt went for? beyond reaper > reactor > CC, i can't recall what factory or engi-bay timing polt went for. all i know is that polt opted to hole up in his natural against 2 stalkers even though he had a ton of marauders, which makes me think he was trying to hide an aggressive stim timing instead of trying to get a read on first, which is just a mistake in build order.

Im so hyped for this. Hoping for some good play (and maybe some scouting?) from Naniwa. And also some ballsy play from the Duck-man. Whoever wins, I want some good games!

Lol, don't you think I haven't tried? I've come to the conclusion it's useless to go to the lategame. Scv pull every toss yolo swag, they deserve it.


Well if you've come to that conclusion it must be true


If Bomber kills First EZ all the time, it must be true. So yh it's true.


w/e

I really hope finale hurries up, I'm really really really hungry

you have time if you go now


I reckon you had time to make it and get it ready by now. But you spent too much time telling us about it.

Why? Why? Why?

Now, it's really a choice between Nani vs DD and starvation.


I thought finale vs Nani would follow right after this so I took the time to complain about my terrible life


But really, how hard can it be to make quick noodles. Don't you have any 2 minute noodles? Hot water and a microwave is all you need.


Well, I need to slice a few things too. Paprika, sausages, cheese, tomatoes and some other stuff. Might post pics later. It's pretty good but takes attention

Slice slice slice

Anyway, gonna do it now and hope finale wins. Need food to be ready when Ro8 starts


Ah, fair enough. Sounds a proper good meal.


It's a proper meal for like 7 people, I'm alone haha. I'll be fed for like 3 days with that

His point was that the loss of the reaper early cost polt the game, this point was in an earlier post not quoted here. I tend to agree, but also this game polt lost even more time coz he saw sentries coming out and freaked out like a noob

I guess you don't like good foreigners?

i tried to put it diplomatically, but since you asked: i don't like Naniwa. he's the only active pro player in the entirely sc2 scene i dislike so i will automatically cheer for his opponent no matter who it is.
