The thing about Polt and why I believe hes very suited to these weekend tournaments is that he adjusts his build to counter the standard meta. It doesnt look all that different form any other top terrans build but he just deviates from the norm when because he thinks outside the box and it catches players off guard. Building viking instead of medvac here, pushing out when knowing blink is coming there etc etc. And we do a good job of outing him too because we get giddy and be like OMG DID U SEE THAT TELL UR FRIENDZ But after awhile toss will figure out this guy does shit differently and he wont be catching them by surprise as much. The bottom line is both Polt and Marus strength lie in their mirco but Maru is more mechanically gifted and ballsy. If polt was in code s with these toss studying him and preparing sniper builds against him i seriously doubt hed have as much success as say maru whos just flat out fast, talented, and ballsy enough to proxy two rax to close a series out lol Polt has always been more succesful in code S than Maru. When Maru became good Polt has switched region. | ||

Marus just a kid lets be honest did we expect 14 year old maru to win blizzcon? I have nothing against polt hands down hes the smartest terran playing but in korea especially the way the metas developed how much better players are than they were before i think korean terrans have to be mechanically tip top to compete. and i think polt isnt quite as fast. he makes up for it with his smarts and mirco i dont believe thats enough to to be winning gsls and osl as opposed to winning wcs na. i give it to maru hes doing this at a time when terrans the weakest race out of three in the hardest region and hes not even in his prime as a pro gamer this kid is all sorts of special not to take anything away from polt. i tip my hat to maru that were comparing a sixteen year old kids performances against someone like polt whos proven it all and still managed to be relevant. | ||

His recent form hasn't been stellar, hopefully he can improve a bit for the next round. | ||
