Annoying how the casters and host are so biased in favor of Polt. Rain played great too.

Every terran is an underdog vs protoss, so even protoss casters are cheering for them.


Polt makes a Ghost Academy against High Templars and is able to win. Other Terrans ape Maru by refusing to use Ghosts, predictably failing against HTs, and then QQing in forums. Why did it take a genius engineering student to figure out that it's good to make counter units? Honest question.


You know there was a ghost buff and that Maru was probably playing the best TvP in the world before Polt played every Protoss this weekend right?


RIGHT?

No.

Counter argument: Bomber.

We have had 15 TvP series so far this IEM and only one TvZ. It's just variety we crave.

Maru is good at getting in ppl's head but Polt tvp is superior with his intricate army dance.

Counter counter argument: Mvp beat some guy in a Proleague game, and because it was Proleague it means more.

It is not just that simple.

Ghosts are expensive to get because terran has terrible minerals/gas ratio for units, unlike protoss who has chargelots as a great mineral dump. Also, terran 1st tech choice are always medivacs while protoss goes straight into colossus or storm.

Removing moebius made things a bit easier since you don't need to spend those resources to get EMPs for ghosts as soon as they come out but there is still a timing for protoss where they have storm and terran doesn't have enough ghosts to fight the army straight up.

And teching to ghosts means much smaller bio army so that is why you see those ghost timings with SCVs as a meatshield.

One thing Polt is doing great is keeping protoss on the back foot with small squads of bio until he manages to get ghosts out.

If protoss just does a strong storm timing you are in trouble as terran.

I think maru is the tits when it comes to intricate army dancing. He fully micros two armies at the same time with no ghosts and just gusto and power.

Maru best
