Yes, i wonder why he doesn't make Ghosts...

Can't afford them.
He build them earlier but Rain kept too many observers and they got fried.

Not having a pathetic amount of production all game long, especially with 6 bases would be a good start.

Terran doesn't work like Zerg or Protoss, you know.

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


I'm sorry but this is just low-league nonsense reasoning. There are hardly any examples of terran players winning late game vs code S level P at all.

Polt just destroyed Classic yesterday.

Just check the games when taeja destroyed Rain.

So to win late game you need to get into an incredible advantage midgame?

The problem with late game TvP is that you need to trade well, but it's super hard to find a good position to get a good trade. The toss army moves with fewer constraints, the T army needs to move slow and constantly watch for storm flanks. So for T to get anywhere, P can just dodge and not be there.

Yeah, because Terran air is so good vs Tempests/Templars + Archons...

Everybody knows that lol Doesn't change the fact that it's 30 minutes into the game with like 6 bases and you've already started throwing out SCVs and you still have 8 rax to produce off of. Any non-biased terran would admit that was a mistake by Polt tbh

Imagine if Polt made ghots and/or dodged storms. I really think he could have had that game. Just during engagments he eats storms pretty hard.

Indeed, at least he could have made a few Ghosts in the end, would help a ton against all those Archons.

this looks like Rain's PvT in the first half of 2013. No matter how well the terran plays, he still has the upper hand in most defenses & engagements

Pretty much. The point is if polt wasn't that overeager, he had the chance to do it, since Rain plays too safe to get advantadges midgame.

He had ghosts in the initial engagement, which he lost. After that, he couldn't afford to produce them or he would die to collo/tempest. With so few barracks, a round of no marauders = death.
#1 MMA fan! I like you too Taeja. Still patiently waiting for the Crown Prince to become the King.
