Can polt get any more handsome?

yea zest level maybe

Polt is already better looking than Zest.

Face: Polt > Zest.
Body: Zest > Polt.


Personality: Polt > Zest


Zest came off quite personable in his GSL clips and his interview with Susie Kim in Shenzen


Polt took a foreigner crowd from Scarlett. Think about that.


Hard to argue with that, I think his wave is kinda cute, too.

Good point. Should have been a factory unit. So accustomed to mech being terrible that skyterran now qualifies as mech.

I mean it's not mech playstyle wise. It's either sitting in 1 place and balling up units or amoving with hellbat thor. Nothing of the positional play and careful planning that made BW mech pure sex.

edit: here's a baller blog by Falling explaining what mech is http://www.teamliquid.net/blogs/360325-in-defence-of-mech

Depending on MU. SC2 mech in TvT is pretty awesome. The best solution is to have mech and bio both viable. Too much bio in SC2 and too much mech in BW across all MUs.

mech is just as viable as bio, in TvT it's a bit more interesting to watch, but, according to every Terran I've ever seen, way easier to play and horrible to play against


Mech is far less viable than bio across all MUs in SC2.

aside from TvP, that's incorrect


It's correct. Mech is viable in TvZ and TvT but pure mech in both MU are less popular than bio or bio/tank. And Mech is crap in TvP.

"less popular" doesn't mean "less viable"

and yes, at very high level TvP mech is pretty bad


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.

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 don't understand your comparison. 11/11 is a strategy. Mech is a unit composition. You can have many strategies with mech but it really doesn't change that it's inferior to Bio in most case.

I don't understand your comparison. 11/11 is a strategy. Mech is a unit composition. You can have many strategies with mech but it really doesn't change that it's inferior to Bio in most case.

I explained it. If you play like you were blindly expecting mech, you are going to have much easier time vs it, than if you were expecting bio (eg. Soulkey vs Gumiho or Life vs ForGG in CaseKing Invitational), because all "standard" builds are tailored to deal with bio while taking mech into consideration. The same way 11/11 works if it's not expected.
Mech openings aren't that different from each other and there's plenty of stuff you can do to shut them down.

and not just the openings, but the follow-ups that zerg can use if they know mech is coming (fast roach drops, nydus etc).
