Polt is just too stubborn. His style obviously doesn't work and still he doesn't adapt at all :o

Can you even deal with that big a muta cloud w/o thors? Those mutas are doing work.

thors don't do as much now with the muta regen and they cost an arm and a leg. Plus those bastards are so big and clumsy that they always get caught by shit. They are like ultras but even worse to keep track of.

Well his widow mine strategy obviously isn't cutting it, he's been losing the same way for 5-6 games in a row now.

Well widow mines are pretty shit against Zerg now with the reduced radius. Basically what you have to do is have Thor/Marine/Marauder/Hellbat/Medivac I guess and drop all over the place to keep mutas busy. Then you have to split like a god because you have no splash damage for banelings.

I feel as this will skew matchup ratios for both players too much and mess with people's liquibets in the future.

Honestly Thors are quite shit. Those occasional clutch shots on clumped Mutas don't make up for all the times they die to Zerglings, are too slow to get to where they need to be, die to magic boxed Mutas etc. You need a really strong army supporting them for them to be useful, that doesn't mesh with the style Polt is playing.

Polt please win. Don't have a problem with Scarlett I think she's cool and good and whatnot but her fanboys are the most hardcore of all of them.

As if Taeja and Polt don't have legions of blind worshipers. I think I'm pretty objective about players I support, can't say the same for Hero fans.

Hellbats suck in the end game.

Polt needs to vary his play. I saw Mvp > Scarlett and often his win was as simple as roasting drones with 10+ hellions with a thor hellbat amove follow up.

Or this is representational of how good they both are at the respective matchup.

Scarlett is playing really well, but so is Polt... I don't get why people say he's getting wrecked and being disappointing as the games have been really close so far. Even though I root for Scarlett, I hope Polt can take this to the last Bo3 at least!

Does anyone else think Polt's drops are hurting him more than helping him? So many times he's had 1-2 drops in different bases while Scarlet wrecks his army in the center map and then just moves and cleans up his drops that do zero damage. Maybe if he kept his units together and concentrated attacks on one base at a time, he would be able to do some damage.

Then the mutas get to fly wherever they want to without having to deal with drops and then you lose all your shit everywhere because muta balls are good.



The mutas are essential in holding off a 200/200 push towards a single base, if he split and positioned himself (like he did in the one game he won this series) to posture mining bases; he could starve her out of gas and minerals. Right now he is just throwing away units at bases that are barely mining or not mining at all and then losing his entire army in the center of the map.

Not really. The strength of mutas isn't in army fights. They are useful sure but the point of banelings is to be cost effective in cleaning up an army without mutas. The strength of mutas are
1. Drop defense
2. Harass for days.


How so? Rarely have we seen Scarlet do anything with her mutas, harassment wise, until the very late game. She constantly has them with her army picking off widow mines or marauders on the front line. Sure they are great at drop defense but Polt was literally just throwing away units every single drop every single game this series. He is doing something wrong, which is why he is losing, so maybe he should change up his style. He is getting too predictable and the drops are doing next to no damage.

Drop style just isn't good against zerg anymore. You have to play more defensively and go for the eco war.

this is literally the exact opposite of truth


Yeah, the only map Polt has won so far has been the game where he was dropping constantly.

Plus it takes quite a few shots to actually kill the mutas and if they get hit and don't die they just regen up quick and go eat cheetos in your base.

They'd also probably just prompt a faster ultra transition. Ravens, maybe?

This is insane. After Scarletts first set beating poly I was impressed. Now I check she's still alive.
