People are overgeneralizing supply. Polt has been ahead all game, it's byul who has been just delaying for time by staying on tier 2 for so long in every game while not teching whatsever. Polt can tell because he's can tell the gas being mined based on number of bases and the huge amount of gas spent on banelings. You can't take on 3-3 bio just staying on tier 2 as zerg. You need to build up a gas bank and get to a surge of tier 3 ultras. Byul overbuilt drones in the beginning and let polt keep trading well negating the drone advantage.

It's gas mined that matters anyways at that point, not drone number.

I don't think he had 0 armor, mutas seemed fairly beefy when engaging marines head on.

Uhmm, terran has been considered the weakest lately, not winning tournaments very much. So this kind of play was very good! Byul played great too.

Really liking this finals!

ByuL didnt snipe the orbitals with his muta flock and let Polt continue to get up scrappy bases, while not being able to hold more than 1-2 bases of his own.
I used to play random, but for you I play very specifically.

he tried that too!


What means Terrans like Polt will kick ByuL's ass >:D

If you look at the GSL zergs, they have been using infestors and T3 to stomp the MMMM aggression hard!


GSL Zergs - Soo - won with muta ling bane.
DRG - won with muta ling bane.
Curious - relied hard on muta ling bane and used map distance on frost to get to T3.

Retaking bases everytime he lost one, not losing medivacs + putting zerg in the same situation as you

If zerg can get gas, Marines reign supreme.

Terran killing off his SCVs and relying mostly on mules in the lategame has been a common strategy for years.

Last game, he goes for hive tech units and gets surrounded and obliterated. This game, he goes for lair tech all game but still gets outplayed. Only one option left...

Well byul never going for ultras I'd say lost him the game since it allowed Polt to just stay on pure marine medivac vm. Unexpected? Well that's past the phase of the game where people generally agree that 4M is really strong(the endless push). Polt just played better in the lategame

Play better. There's no gimmicky way to beat Polt in a long series except to play better than him.

I have to agree this. You can win Polt, just outplay him, no tricky way in any direction.

That was definitely a blunder...

Is there such a thing as Zerg and Protoss building armour?

Polt had 20 scvs, but Byul had one mining base, sometimes 2. So that's 25~ drones of mining vs 20 scv's.

Cost-efficiency doesn't work like that though, since terran is expected to be more cost-efficient, and zerg can expand easier.

Polt likes to take a beating early on to enrage him and bring out his true potential. And he does it every single game. When he's down early on, it's actually intentional.

Uhmm, terran has been considered the weakest lately, not winning tournaments very much. So this kind of play was very good! Byul played great too.

ok? and that has what to do with the fact that it's fairly common for terrans to use marine production and multitasking to take control of a lategame where both players are struggling to establish bases and zerg is getting spread out across the map? seems you think i'm talking about balance, i'm not. i'm talking about the matchup. terrans make these comebacks frequently because their race is equipped to do so.
