I think that's typical Polt actually. Look at Polt vs Rain on Frost from IEM Cologne semis.

But Polt is still really good.

Different styles I think. Taeja at his best would never lose a straight up fight with immaculate ghost viking control. Polt completely controls the map.

Eight base Polt in a moderately active macro game? I've only seen that in my ladder games, and that was sick.

You've seen Polt in your ladder games? Wow

well GV is Byun... right?

anyway, i remember when Taeja was sooooo far ahead of everyone else in ghots usage and control; in the ESV weekly, he was showing the most insane TvP

Rain's play is super underwelming mechanic wise..... Bad multitasking overall by him

His multitask and mechanics are really good (or used to be). Just not this time.
In PvZ the zerg can make the situation spire out of control but protoss can adept to the situation.

Pure GV doesn't happen until supreme mined out endgame and we rarely see that, ie Byun vs Hero Daybreak.

That can't even happen since tempests were added to the game anyway.

People have criticized it but it's somewhat similar to a mod for WoL where you had 6 full mineral patches per base, but with 4 full and 4 half instead.

btw I think that's where Rain went wrong (on top of disappointing control in many fights) ; he never transitioned to tempests.

That was excessive even for Polt, and he was playing quite a bit of LotV before this.
