I would be utterly shocked if Polt took even 1 game off of HerO. HerO has just been on fire lately and is a league above most people he plays in a Best of series. But, Polt has surprised us before.

Thanks Artosis!

Many.. Many ways to stop this... Not have half your army doing nothing and dying. Focus fire with vikings, punish the toss way earlier 3-3 upgrade charge and blink is not fucking cheap many windows of oppurtunity to do damage.

This build should not have worked at all. You shouldn't be asking how Terran stops it... You should be asking how the fuck did Polt just lose to that lol

It just takes few units lost on the map to lose to this kind of 3 3 timing attack when the terran prepared some stuff for every possible cheese while the protoss just turtled into pure macro.

You're so full of shit man, polt had his 3rd oc before dears 3rd nexus was even halfway complete. Polt made a ton of blunders

You're so mad I disagree? Does my advice is so important to your life? I just said he lost too many units for free across the map to hold, which is what happened, he was short of few units to hold.

That's not all you said at all, and I'm not mad in the slightest.
Wp polt anyway, I'm surprised such build order from protoss exist, I wonder what sort of builds it's supposed to counter :1 oracle, 1 stalker, MsC before 3rd is greedy as fuck.

That wasn't the build btw, unless your talking about this game, in which the build polt just used is the counter

When its 100K winner takes all , the games become so fucking good ! Im loving this tournament so far !

Outside of a few games yeh it's pretty amazing.

If there was some way for iem to increase the amount of money across the qualifying tournaments and keep this winner takes all it would be amazing.


The previous IEM had great games even without the winner takes all...

It did, but I'd argue that not only did the chance of getting into this tournament raise the steaks (as the commentators constantly were saying the koreans there were talking about it), but that the quality of games this tournament are higher

No, but San, HyuN, Revival etc.. I don't think they would have done some of those glaring mistakes if it wasn't for the prize money structure.

Except that's not why he lost at all. Dear had a very fast 3rd for way longer than Polt, allowing him to sit back and get 6 Colossus and 3/3 upgrades while not taking any economical damage the entire game. Meanwhile, Polt didn't take a fast 3rd, was consistently throwing away units trying to do damage in addition to the units he lost while running home across the map. But even if he had those extra units the upgrade advantage was enormous, and if Polt got a quicker 3rd he could've gotten ghosts out to help with all those zealots.
There are things known, and things unknown, and in-between are the doors.

Can't help but feel that even if Polt gets past Dear, he is going to get stomped by CJhero. He does not look sharp at all today

I have to agree with that. In fact for me, herO is the only "heavy" favorite. Haven't seen sOs and Life though but Life's ZvP isn't that good.


taejgod.

Heh, his series against StarDust was too weird to consider him at the same level as herO tbh.


Well it's pretty ridicolous to judge a level of a player based on 1 series and 1 series only.


Well considering TaeJa's form in 2014 so far, and not to mention is "give up super easily when 1 thing goes wrong" attitude I think it's fair to say TaeJa isn't his normal dominate self. He looks very beatable.

I think Taeja's success depends completely on his mindset. I think he might have the highest peak skill of anyone at the tournament except Dear, and maybe Life.

This, but I think he has a higher peak skill than everyone playing except maybe Innovation, Maru and Rain.
Go TAEJA

it's not like they never did mistakes before, just started doing so, there were like 40 mutas dying against innovation's widow mines once on frost i remember, it has nothing to do with the prize structure, mistakes happen they are human.
