Nathanias knows what the viewers want, spending most of the time picking Polt's brain haha He's just going what any other GM Terran would do if they got to talk to Polt for a full game.
Not blaming him at all haha it's what I would do and I play zerg lol

Polt's analysis is just spot on with the various strengths/weaknesses of the styles, and Nathanias doing such a good job allowing Polt's smarts to shine through. Nicely done.

He very rarely played, and tried all races. But yes, that is the Corsair :D.

Taeja playing so well, again. Remnds me of the birth of Team Tajea when he all-killed IM one and a half times at the IPL 3 finals.
EDIT: Also want to reiterate how much I'm loving this cast. (Poor Polt not understanding why his sponsor-mate Violet keeps fighting off creep.)

Lol wrong place to spread creep violet
|
yeah... don't fight taeja off creep
|
Violet just won't learn that he shouldn't try and fight Taeja off creep.
|
Wonder why viOLet feels so compelled to engage TaeJa off creep. He isn't going to get a good engagement especially with TaeJa's split micro.
|
Back to even bases. If Taeja gets one more cost-efficient engagement Violet will be on the ropes
|
Damn Violet needs like 50 ish banelings not 20
|
Every time I hear a full-time pro player cast their game, the biggest difference is that there's no nuance. A move is either good or it's bad. You either should do something or you shouldn't.
Side note: Violet is apparently playing so poorly, Polt doesn't even recognize him as his housemate. He's just "zerg player".
|
Oh that engagement was sickening for Taeja. So easy.
