I wanted it to stimulate some degree or another of discussion, since he is probably my favourite player for reasons that were highlighted in the GOAT article.  | ||

Who knows Yeah, I super agree with this. I was amazed that he somehow beat ForGG and Bunny last season. But this is Polt. He's just weird, let's leave it at that. If every other Terran in the world did mech, and even if there was some mathematical proof, he'd still build marines.  | ||

Who knows It's his worst by a very small margin (1%) that probably harkens back to the days of GomTvT that fucked up everyone's TvT stats. IIRC his only TvT struggle recently was one Red Bull Bomber last year, and even those series were very close, while he's been having trouble with TvZ the last couple of months (despite god moding Hydra). | ||

I don't remember, isn't he a solid Bio tank player? All this is making me remember how much I love macro tvt and don't like the gas first era  | ||

For the record Polt has great TvT records against players like MMA and Bomber (being on even score with Bomber is great IMO) and bad records against INnoVation and Mvp. | ||

Ah, so its the old Polt mech curse. Even having decent records against MMA and Bomber in TvT is an accomplishment itself. I want fall bio/tank goodness back :/ | ||

Not too sure why. =/ Did he have a pretty glaring losing streak/rough patch in 2014 or something? | ||

It's probably worth nothing he took same games off bomber in that redbull d.c. tournament (albeit bomber gave away one of those games, lol) | ||

He did have a bit of a rough time in 2014 with his TvT, going on a bit of a losing streak, yeah, although his TvT was the only TvT in the WCS system matching Bomber's at the same time. So... his TvT doesn't make sense. | ||

Even people who have experience with both think mech is the stronger comp in TvT so it's understandable people would struggle against mech. | ||
