It's simply a time where TvZ is the most unbalanced matchup atm.

Funny how that seems to apply for every Terran?

Come on, Polt does not have bad TvZ, but it is incredible hard for Terran to go even with Zerg. Balance stats are slowly but steady turning more and more in favour for the Zerg players.

I think it is quite offensive then, saying Polt does not have good TvZ when he puts up such a game vs Armani, who won against Flash in the Code A-qualifier with 2-0 for an example.

No drops by Polt, a nono when you want to be top 10 terran.

sad for Polt but Armani played really good games, just a little better as Polt. I don't feel you can blame that on balance.

Look at the recent trends. TvZ is now very Z favored. Terran pros don't complain about Protoss, but about Zergs

I don't think anyone has good TvZ except for Maru against anyone not named Soulkey. Though Inno is a giant ? for me.

I guess I just compare players to the very best of their race. A holdover from a time when every Zerg sucked except for Nestea. Every Protoss sucked except for MC.

Yeah because it's not an huge advantage to be 3/3 vs 1/2 for 5min with 5bases vs 5.

In other words: Polt, L2P. Applies to every other Terran in the world

Last day people were pointing out that Terran was stupid to try to go for drops, instead they should collect their army and have some killing-instinct (the game was TY vs Effort).

I mean, its like a double punishment, if you drop you should get your shit together and if you get it together you should drop.

Im quite sure they are doing their best and playing to their strenghts.

I hope they just sent Stork along, basically a half paid trip for both .
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.
