I mean he's actually making an effort to fit it in, you reckon it is to prevent observers from spotting his army movements without having to scan? Maybe he's worked out that it saves him money from scans longterm or something... | ||

He did use PDD, but it's not like PDD is very good against feedback and just having the raven is risky vs feedback. Because yer, he's making the turrets against dts and not using the raven for fx. auto turret harass or something gimmicky. It hasn't paid off in any straight-forwards way, so I'm kind of thinking that he's using it to deter observers to allow for his doom drop style. | ||

He's trading gas, a resource Terran has too much of in 3base, for MULEs (minerals), a resource Terran can't have enough of in TvP. Also we see that late game DT harass has been the death of many many many Terrans. Perhaps Polt is reading into the current PvT meta and covering all his bases. | ||

People get mad at Terrans for never trying it out, and Polt had found a way to get one without hindering his build, so why not ? | ||

Also terrans often banks a lot of gas late mid-late game, and he wants to get that second starport up anyway for more viking production. Makes the raven not that expensive. | ||

Overall a raven is a nice thing to have, probably won't change the game much though. | ||

If Byul plays well he should be able to win against Polt, depends how much he lets nerves affect him :3 Don't know if I would be so dismissive about Polt, but yeah, Derelict is a terrible map for Toss. Even worse in PvZ. So hard to defend the third and the starting location against Terran and against Zerg, they're commonly surrounded when trying to move between the 2nd and 3rd bases in that huge open space. The gigantic ramp doesn't help much either. | ||

At that time in the game, terran does not have to much gas, infact terran is around that time heavily gas starved. It's right after that, that you start floating the gas. That's why I'm not sure about the raven, adding 200 gas cost is painful on upgrades, vikings/medivacs, ghosts and infrastructure | ||

He's a bit more ease on the gas at that point. | ||
