Ugh. This game is such a Classic example. Doesn't matter what kind of clever plays you do, in the end if you don't reset that Collosus count you just get a-moved.


Clever play = randomly put half your army in medivacs and drop them in the main?

Nothing random about that. Every time polt drops somewhere he attacking someplace else.

If you think Polt's maneuvers are "random" you'll have to explain how they're so often successful

No tears here. Polt won that game even though he lost

Won? Classic played better and won.

i like how when polt demolishes lower level toss than classic with insane multitask/harass/drops he's playing amazing and a tvp god but when a toss player defends even better than polt's attacks it's just "oh, whatever, polt played better and got protossed"

so polt's drops are really good and strong but defending strong attacks isn't better play???

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

Effort fixed his ZvP.

By retiring?

By stomping classic.

Notice he wiped out all of Classics Warp Gate production, his forges and a Dark Shrine, and managed to kill his 4th base with a wrap around attack while classic was dealing with it.

If that same amount of damage is done with a Warp Prism drop, the game is over.

They don't play lategame the same way to begin with, so it's hard to compare.

Polt's late game is insanely powerful.

It just revolves around mass drops / defensive engagements rather than ghost viking.

he cant even properly use ghosts, how is his late game is powerful?

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?

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



Yeah I guess... but really isn't this suppose to be the biggest sc2 tournament of the year?
All the casters (all of them really) have been doing is talking nonsense about general sc2 match ups that don't really apply to whats going on and then hyping the players doing pretty basic stuff and ignoring when they fuck up.

I also really dislike this UI becasue it dsn't actually show the unit's upgrades when selected, the GSL UI is far better.


Idk maybe I'm being overly harsh, but given all the hype that has been on TL, Reddit, Youtube and Twitter the games, casting and obs has been below that of ESL/GSL :/

He does use Ghosts, only a few and mostly for defensive EMPs when the Protoss comes at the front but he does use them. In the past he would entirely skip them.
