With the exception of polt and maru. I know maru wins by virtue of sheer incredible micro. As for polt....i have no idea how he keeps winning, even from behind. Especially from behind.

TvP is indeed a guessing game if you don't bother to scout. Just like the other matchups.

What about the prior games where he did scout and still lost to cheese? Plus I can see why he didn't bother scv scouting on frost. Protoss likely has units by the time the scv reaches his base if you find his base last. No excuse for not scanning though.

It's only ok to cheese/all-in if you're a player that people like.


ah right, fanboyism, I forgot about that little factoid.

I just wanna see fun games with a wonky strat, and some upsets now and then. :D

What could he have scouted?! He puts down 7 gates, then 30 seconds later he's warping in units. Bomber can't just blindly make 3 bunkers at his nat. What if Alicia goes double forge instead of the gates with really heavy eco play? What if he goes blink? What if he goes DT? Like I said, all bomber could do was pick the most likely scenario and prepare appropriately with a bunker in the main and nat

Or, you know, scout.

I will ask one more time. Slowly. Scout...what?

At all.

7 Gateways in a main.

No gasses at natural.

Pylons near your base.

I like longer games as well, all ins are pretty black/white in who wins or loses usually. And a series of 5 all ins is boring to watch... It's usually waitwaitwait ah he's gonna win wait wait he won ezpz thanks for those 15 minuts.


If there's one thing I'll concede, it's that more cheesy games should turn out like Mvp vs Squirtle on Atlantis Spaceship.

Sneak an scv into the natural which would die so thats out. Scan the main at the right time even though three of the gates could've just as easily been in the natural. Or the twilight could have been in the natural. I'm just saying it wasn't all because of no scouting

Thing with Polt is that he has a different approach to StarCraft in general. He's so into tactic, thinking through games, not especially relying on builds but on forcing the opponent to play his game. That's kind of great vs. a cheesy player, because you cannot surprise Polt easily since his scouting patterns and understanding of the smallest factors are just tight. Bomber appears to be a reactive player, and if you show the wrong reaction or are simply too late, you die.

Like, which games, exactly?
Habitation he didn't scout it.
Polar Night he died because he played too defensive
Yeonsu pylon held, misplay by Alicia
Frost no scout
Forgot the last game already xD

Ah, Heavy Rain, in which he scouted the all in and won?

pattern?

This. Bomber didn't scout. I like him, but that was the mistake that cost him the game.


Oh come on. It comes down to protoss deciding to do a build order because he knows it is 12 repaer expand or maybe cc 1st on big 4 player maps 99% of the time and the rest is up to the terran. If you manage to scout you have a chance of winning, if you don't you straight up lose. Protoss has little to worry about.

Early game should be neutral not favored for any race because it sets the pace for the rest of the game. And the early game TvP is just very unforgiving for terran, reducing the problem just to scouting when you are watching pro level players is such a dumb argument.

Even if Bomber went for a 12/12 reaper expo to have better scouting he would still behind against a player who went for a nexus 1st build. 12/12 is not really economical build, especially compared to nexus 1st.....

Yes, you can get a better or worse end of a build order in any matchup but TvP is specific because terran is forced to go into 12/12 basically every game, you don't have much choice about it.
