@Shellshock. I did look at that, but this is so few games, and the last tree are in the current meta, where TvZ is really really hard for the terran player.

The last time Polt was this weak in a matchup, he had just moved from Korea to America and WoL to HotS.

Blizzard should bring back science vessel at this point if they are not nerfing their precious muta ball. There is nothing "strategy" about moving 40 mutas around in 1 control group including the overseer, engaging missle turrets head on sniping bases. It's not even about balance. It's UGLY as hell.

TvT is the only match where real strategy and tactic matters and it is so rare nowaday.

Haha. SC2 zergs will never be ready for Irradiate. The amount of crying that would ensue would be epic

Just watched Stork and Polt's games. Suck that Stork lost. His PvT has always been a bit suspect so losing to Polt was kind of expect. Samsung should still be sending him over because he does have a large foreign following for advertising purposes. Polt though, disappointed that he basically only has one build for TvZ. Felt like if zerg wasn't greedy and played safe they would always come out ahead in the mid-game. Polt really need to vary up his play a bit.

Not to be a downer, but if Kespa teams cared about foreign fans, we'd be seeing players like Flash, Rain, Soulkey, etc. being sent out to much more foreign events. Kespa teams unfortunately do very little outreach to the foreign fanbase because they are primarily focused domestically. The K in Kespa is fitting in that regard.

I still hope that Samsung and Kespa send Stork, since Armani is already going, but I would keep the fingers crossed, despite how popular Stork is.

Kespa doesn't care about foreign scene because most of their sponsors are Korean companies. I mean, it's not like KT or SK Telecom benefit from me knowing who they are. But Samsung has definitely shown some big interest in the foreign scene. Roro went to Dreamhack. Armani to LSC3. And if you look at the qualifiers for HSC, it's basically only Samsung players from the Kespa scene. So I'm optimistic here.
