Exactly, this was Polt's downfall

Polt was never floating high in gaz or minerals after having trade his main army.

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

It's funny how people don't realise you cant just make 25 barracks with reactors and pump out 50 marines at a time

Not identically, obviously. Is that a legitimate reason to produce 12 supply per cycle?

Any pro should not use this hotkey i think.

I didn't think anyone used it above diamond

almost all z pros use it all the time, majority of t players too, check the fp-streams. Protoss obviously is the most demanding in terms of static defense, p players should rarely use it.

It is not that surprising. It didn´t even exist till HotS. Every single player that has played longer time has not used "select all army units" most of their career.

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

Lategame TvP doesn't play upon remax, but upon building a Ghosts/Vikings army, and 8 rax 2-3 port is fine for that.

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

so MMM is good vs toss tier 3 units?

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

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.

Just check the games when taeja destroyed Rain.

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

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.

So why'd you say "You are wrong, P lategame is possible, if you get to a critical amount of CCs so you can be trading the whole time" to "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"

Polt was never floating high in gaz or minerals after having trade his main army.

exactly, his macro is always just on point. Its rain who is floating money all the time because he lost barely anything.

Do you realise that 90% of P would crumble from multipronged attacks from Polt? Rain kept his cool and drove this one home, Polt was really close despite the final death animation of 5 minutes.

5 Marauders + 6 Marines + 6 port supply = 22 in my book.

I think Polt has had the best play I've seen so far in this tournament. Rain is doing the Rain thing of coming up with winning and uncommon end game unit combinations though. That game was awesome.
