Standard Polt, right? He makes his opponents do that.

Seems that Polt likes to toy with his prey. If he can get this match over with sometime tonight, that'd be great.

JD has a legit shot at winning this whole thing if he could somehow beat dear. Dear and soulkey are so good though I just think one of them wins this whole thing.

Polt vs aLive

Game 2: Frost LE

0:00: (T)

Polt spawns at 7, (T)

aLive at 1 (deja vu)

2.00: Alive takes early gas, Polt goes cc first.

4.00: Tasteless uses the word 'Yoloswag' incorrectly. Polt still hasn't taken his gas, Alive teching up to starport.

6.00: Cloak halfway done for Alive, Polt takes gas and his spidey senses tells him to build an engineering bay. It also tells him to scan all of Alive's tech at the perfect time.

7.00: Alive coming across the map to apply pressure whilst taking his natural.

8.00: Alive uses his banshee to snipe some depots, skirting around the edges of Polt's base. Now he is working on the reactor and forces a cancel. Banshee escapes with 8hp after scan.

9.00: Polt bleeding marines and scvs as Alive's excellent banshee harass continues. Meanwhile, alive has double reactor and techlab out, as well as a third CC.

11.00: Surprisingly, Polt stll has a slim supply lead. He is getting ready to power up on marines right now.

12.00: Alive and Polt takes their third bases simultaneously. Banshee harass continues.

14.00: Both players looking to move out on the map, fighting for control over the watchtowers.

16.00: Alive looking to flank Polt, but good map awareness forces him back. A contingent of marines from Polt sneaks around the right hand side in preparation for a snipe on Alive's third.

17.00: Said marines run into the third and takes out a regiment of marines and a tank. No damage done to the third, but he gains map control of the centre.

19.00: Both players max, but Polt is picking off Alive's marines left and right. Polt is positioning to siege Alive's third, but alive is there in time to force a siege. His marines do some good economic damage on Polt's fourth, and he picks off another CC.

21.00: Now it is Polt's turn to attack Alive's CC. The movement on the minimap is beautiful.

22.30: Polt inching towards Alive's third. He manages to shut down a few mineral patches, killing a few SCVs and a gas.

24.00: Polt is choking alive with offensive sieges. Alive attempting to transition into sky-terran.

25.00: Polt uses his marines to flank Alive's fourth, but loses his army in the centre in the meantime. Wasn't even paying attention there (no stim, medivacs not healing).

26.00: A number of skirmishes all over the map forces both players to drop 50 supply or so. Alive with a tank lead.

27.00: Yet another command center dies (alive's this time). Polt is getting overrun at his fourth as he was out of position. Tanks in front of marines, not a pretty sight. Alive is now all over the place taking down Polt's mass expansions, but he has been inefficient with his units, suiciding plenty into planetaries.

28.00: Polt miraculously has a supply lead due to Alive's inefficiencies. He is now max compared to 170 of Alive.

30.00: Alive hasn't taken any extra expansions, and is slowly getting mined out. Polt retains two of his extra expansions, up to 6 bases now.

31.00: Alive looking to force an engagement in the middle, but both armies miss each other and we start a baserace!
