Maybe I've been out of watching pro-sc2 for too long, but the level of play today has been pretty poor.
The casting and obs has been pretty poor too... I mean one of the commentators actually said something along the lines of; "great target firing on that nexus cannon to kill that medivac..." are we now praising diamond level micro?

i play diamonds on ladder all day and i can guarantee you that a great majority of them dont have the multitasking and awareness to target medivacs with photon cannons while taking engagements and cleaning up drops

Told you!

Hey, I didn't say it would be a walk over ! I still think Polt can take it, I bet on a 3-2. Anyway I'm pretty sure this will be a close and entertaining series between two very skilled players.

I think a lot of people underestimate Classic, he's still a recent GSL champion guys :p

I mean he was the fastest GSL winner to be eliminated from Code S too.

Classic looked really solid there. never panicked and had great storm drop defense (barring the one huge doom drop)

Gotta hype those moves for the casuals, Nathan is great at it. And i don't think the level is low... and you can hope for better games on the lower bracket

That's basically Polt's career in TvP. Crazy army splits and tons of tempo.

I don't think it's a matter of confidence, it's just a stylistic choice. You literally cannot afford to do Polt style drops if you go Ghost / Viking.

can't shake off the feeling that Polt's fate was sealed from the medivacs lost from the beginning. Even though he lost, he didn't dissapoint. Great game.

I agree. There was a point where Classic had 8 stalkers, 4 zealots, and 1 col defending 3 bases.

If he had 4 medivacs instead of 2 I don't see Classic holding without taking some heavy damage.
