Kinda lost momentum and speed, couldn't get a good engagement, couldn't leave that spot, and he could take the bottom left side, mass minerals, and get back the game. Felt that was the biggest moment in the game.
Also called it yesterday "kinda same build all day, he'll switch tomorrow!".
But I bet Scarlett knew as well, think she missread the 3rd game, still well deserved win by Polt. People shloud take notes on that hellbat all in (3rd game), scarlett defended sooo well, lesser zergs would just die right away.

Once the mutas got hit, scarlett couldnt put on any more pressure to Polt and he could just get everything he wanted behind it. Similar situation in game 3 with the hatch snipe. Those games looked a lot more Polt-esque than yesterday. Also does seem like Scarlett prefers to keep terran from being maxed so she can get the benefits of her close-to-100 drones and not the drawbacks.
Ya, she's been playing that style of ZvT a lot lately, too bad Polt is too good to let it work everytime

Also, she fell victim to the often-seen, yet somehow seldom-remembered, side effect of building Ultralisks: Lose X bases, where X is the factor by which your Korean Terran opponent's balls are larger than normal.

There's a game on right now, it's been pretty consistently on ever since the internet got fixed.

With how specific that is, it makes sense that it's a seldom-remembered side-effect.

Whenever ToD says guardian shield I think he's saying LaGuardia Airport.

I get the feeling that ToD could talk about PvP literally all day.

Which is literally about half a day longer than I want to listen to someone talk about PvP.

Guess I should check out stream B, figured the games would be consistent. Especially with the 3 hour delay to actually start the tournament.

Since Polt is among those players that are so insanely taxing on multitasking, she really needs to be a bit more rested. I feel really bad for her being so tired now :/
