I agree Swede, in all games I watched (I missed the second set) Polt played really well and executed his strategy as best he can. Scarlett just took better engagements nearly all the time.

And although there were some sweet WM hits, I feel that Scarlett shut them down quite easily, thus letting her ling/bane go to town on the bio.

All in all, every map played between those two were fun to watch (I am assuming second set).

I think potentially neither is top 5 in their race.

Terran
1. Maru
2. Inno?
3. Taeja?
4. Bbyong?
5. Flash?
6. TY?
7. SuNo
8. Bomber?
9. Polt?
10. MKP?

For Zerg

1. soO
2. Soulkey
3. TRUE?
4. Life
5. Hyun?
6. JD?
7. Byul?
8. Solar?
9. RorO?
10. DRG?
11. Vortix?
12. Scarlett?

(? denotes I have not a fucking clue where to rank these people this is hard)


JD on 6th, and DRG on 10th, and worse of all, Scarlett on 12th?

Amusing took a smile off me

Haha well it's hard to definitively say so I put the question marks. Where would you have those three?

grats to Scarlett. Missed the last few games but I had saw enough to know Polt was gonna lose. He needs to go back to the drawing board TvZ


I actually think Polt's overall strategy was fine. 4M v Muta/ling/bane is really close to evenly matched in my opinion, but Scarlett's execution was just unbelievably solid and Polt's was slightly flawed. The end result being that Scarlett wins.


uhh sure. I'm saying he needs to go back to the drawing board because on top of just getting out played, predictability played into his downfall here. 7 games with the same exact build, comp and style. But that's Polt I guess. I just hope he realizes that he can't macro and multitask every player to death. He could stand to add some variety.

Yeah, I think the widow mines were the weakest part of his play. Besides the fact that Scarlett microed well against them, a lot of times he would burrow them too late and lose them without ever getting a shot off. As a general rule, burrowing them too early is going to be better than too late - at least they will probably get a shot off that way, even if it's not a good one.

Time to give Scarlett back that foreigner crown.

Swaglett plays better than some GSL zergs but she simply did not have the chance to prove it so far, or your list would look entirely different. Instead she plays in NA where everyone and their mother tries to rush her so that she does not reach this macro state where she dominates entirely, as we just saw in the match vs the best NA terran, Polt. Apart from him and Major I don't think anyone has a chance in trying to outmacro her.



DRG is imho slightly better than JD.

Weakest matchup vs strongest matchup.

When you're the best you don't have a weakness.


Mvp was the best and he had like a dozen weaknesses.

wouldnt call him the best, just somehow better than everyone he played



Unless you are implying that the best players were not playing in the GSL at that time, isn't what you saying the very definition of being the best?
