Hey guys looking forward to bringing you this match, super excited as you all know I'm a big Polt fan as well as a Terran player and it'll be cool especially with Polt playing his WCS Match around this time as well 
|

|
Polt 4-0., Hope Stephano plays well though.

So Stephano will play from Take's appartment as far as I understand. Will there be an overlap with HSC (I suck at counting time zones)?

Good question !
6pm PST is 4am in Germany, so it's most unlikely it will be live. Probably casted from replays.

I don't like neither fo them but I think Polt has this ez pz G_G
|
Really hope Polt takes this 4-0.
|
I see a 4-1 Polt win in the works.
Thanks for the show match CMStorm and Nathanias!
|
Oh man. One of the most epic Korean vs foreigner rivalry ever. This is going to be good.
|
ZvT isn't good for swarmhosts, so Stephano is at big disadvantage xD.
Probably 4-0 unless Stephano does some allins.
|
Polt should probably win 4-0, but his TvZ has been kinda weak lately. I say 4-2 Polt anyway, but would not be surprised to see large swings in either direction.
|
Stephano
4-0
Greatest wol rivalry, Polt vs stephano NEVER dissapointed !

If you guys would like a shot at winning your very own CM Storm Polt mouse and keyboard, head on over to the CM Storm page and post what you think the end score will be, as well as the victor.
|
This will be amazing - cant wait for this!!
|
Is this "Winner takes it all" format ?
1000$ is a sweet prize for one match.
Edit : If I understand correctly we gonna see more matches organised by Cooler Master & GOIMBA ?
|
Polt´s gonna send Stephano into retirement... oh wait. 
|
Legendary!
EDIT: wait, 6 pm PST? worst possible time for Europe...
|
Looking forward to this! So many good games of StarCraft in a short time with THIS, HSC, and ShoutCraft. Great stuff!

hmmm considering he was tired in HSC already and has to stay awake till 3am and then play a BO7 i think it is going to be Polt who will just outplay Ilyes
|
this will be a bigger beatdown than Hyun vs Dragon
|
Polt will unconditionally flatten Stephano 4-0, it will be brutal and glorious
|
Yea this is going to be a 4-0 stomp.
Still will be fun to watch Stephano's chat antics, lol.

And doing it well!

This would basically be comparable to someone like Lucifron making a comeback and owning Jaedong in a bo7.

He's won every game with it. The one game he lost so far he went ling/roach/infestor

What?
Not at all. Stephano is the best foreigner ever, and Polt isn't Jaedong.
|
The game speed seems a little fast. Is it just me?
|
|
|
Great series.
And a cool $1,000 goes to Stephano.
|
BOOM. My boy Stephano still tearing shit up even in retirement.
|
Damn such cool scrappy play from Polt. Oh well

This is getting ridiculous.
If he lost he would have said "good job beating a retired player."
He attends more tournaments than nearly every foreign pro gamer.
Streams all the time.
The dude isn't fucking retired lol.

For the record, he said that to Nerchio because Nerchio was being a piece of shit about the games

How did Stephano win? What?
|
|
|
Stephano beats Polt 4-2 apparently (source: reddit)
|
Not looking good for Polt's WCS run.

And yet he plays 5 hours per week, maybe double or triple that amount maximum for special occasions.
Millenium manager said Stephano wanted to rejoin his team after leaving EG but he turned down the offer because Stephano wasn't ready to play more than an average 5 hours / week (so instead he went to MeltDown eSports).

The matchup is really strange. Polt opened Banshee in every game while Stephano played different openings.
The highlight of the series was Stephano losing his whole lot of Mutas in a 4 widow mine hit on Overgrowth. He GG'ed instantly - similar to Jjakji vs Revival game. Even Nathanias couldn't control his laughter.

You really trust that ? ^^ He does easily the triple only by stream + tournaments, and he practice a lot more than when he was officially totally retired (when he met nearly everyday pros on GM ladder :D ). Actually he's a lot better, too.

So what I got from this is that Stephano is perfectly able to play normal games but goes swarm hosts every game anyway. He also only shows swarm hosts in his high level competition games and saves his builds for show matches. -.-
|
What a strange loss for Polt.... I could see him dropping a game, maybe even a bo3 if Stephano went swarmhosts... but it was a b07 and he didn't go swarmhosts from what I saw
|
Actually stephano played pretty well in nation war, destroying qxc, so 'im not "that" surprised
