Do you see Polt banking up because of a lack of production?


Just because you don't have money doesn't mean you're spending it on what you should be

I'm a bit dissapointed in polt. A player of his quality should know that you shouldn't play late game vs Protoss, let alone a master of P lategame like Skt.Rain

except he is spending his money great. It isn't like he has money just sitting around that he needs to be spending. With the vikings he is making, he can't afford to use more than eight right now.

You are looking at it right now, but at the moment, he had a 4k bank, that as a terran, you need to spend also on buildings because at this point in the game, you will need a constant stream of units. Also, he was overzealous on the engagement, and got stormed because of that.

He means that perhaps Polt spent his money on buildings or something.

but with how many SCVs he lost, if he built up the production, he could only get a round or two out and then his bank would be dry and he would have idle production. I think staying at 8 rax is perfectly acceptable given his economy and needs.

You are wrong, P lategame is possible, if you get to a critical amount of CCs so you can be trading the whole time.
