Not too surprising when you can count the number of Terrans that can consistently stop a Blink attack with one hand.

I wasn't paying full attention. How and when did Polt move those units out? How didn't Rain see them coming?


I dunno but he did the same against Classic. He hides them somewhere around the map and sends them in around 8:30 - 9 minutes when he knows the stalkers should be on his side of the map by now.
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

I think it has to do with Artosis no longer being the biggest caster - he was one of the biggest proponents of "macro=good, early aggression = noob".

"Is this the end of the blink all in era" or something like that, correct me if I'm wrong

By the way, Polt's raid loses if Protoss really commits with 6 or 7 gates, because then Protoss has enough production to defend at home.

The Power of Polt compels you?

Exorcise Rain right out of the tournament, Polt!
Yes, I email sponsors... to thank them. Don't post drunk, kids. My king, what has become of you?

I was just waiting to see what person was going to try to find 6 Terrans that could actually do it.
