It usually means less viable. It means bio can bring you more wins consistently in most case. I think pro players pick what comp to use based on what's the best comp and bio happens to be the one used much more frequently.

At last, Polt is playing like a real contender.

You see, Hydra made the classic mistake. He got Polt behind in the game ensuring Polt would come back and win.

Wow Polt that was some major playing
|
That was a 20-minute monologue titled "In case you've forgotten, I am Polt."

Excellent game by Polt. Now we have a very interesting 3rd map.

less popular means less viable. Player play what they have the best chances to win with. If a playstyle isn't played as often as another one it is because the other one is superior.

I think pro players pick what comp to use based on what's the best comp and bio happens to be the one used much more frequently. Mech would probably be much less successful overall if Zergs blindly assumed mech and not bio. Buy saying it's far less viable is like saying 11/11 is a bad build just because it won't work if you do 11/11 only.

I still favor Hydra to win the bo3 but we can be pretty confident those two are going to make a deep run.
