He's pretty bad.

What I don't understand is why.

With his control, which is still top notch I believe, I mean he used to be at or nearly at Maru's level of micro, you can pick a standard build and scout/scan for a few key gas timings/tech choices and fairly reliably get to the stage of the game where MK does very well. It wouldn't take much...


MKP is the antithesis of Polt. Imagine what he could have done with a brain...
SC2 is the best game to watch and was the best to play before I grew old and slow...

I think Blizzard is just waiting for them to retire lol, banning them would be kinda messed up lol

CatZ should smuggle some more Code A players in.

Snute thought he was behind and that his best shot at winning was to max out with a low drone count so he would have more units than hydra. also afforded him more ravagers, so he wanted one very strong maxed out push, but hydra hit the 2-1 timing before snute maxed, so they were at even army supply instead of snute being ahead

+1 attack costs 100/100. that's the cost of one ravager. he could have at the very least gotten that.

well after u snipe someone's third and ur third is already up, u should use that advantage to power upgrades and catch up. but it seems like he forgot.

I don't think he was ahead at all afterwards. He was 13 drones behind, had no upgrades and no lair. Getting an empty third base doesn't do nearly enough.

Yeah I agree. Hydra had +1, roach speed and more drones & +2 on the way.

I dunno, he might've been very scared of a +1 speed roach timing after denying the 3rd so he just kinda skimped on it and went with it

You realize he had no drones so the third was basically useless till 1/2nd mined out. It's not like he was terran so he could at least mule with the third...

C'mon, he was already opening cc first or proxyrax without any scouting years before that.

I've seen him solidly micro himself out of getting 2-rax reaper rushed when going CC first only to completely fail the follow-up. So yeah, MarineKing things.

Really got nothing on Polt, brain-wise. Or many other players.

honestly the time when the "foreigners" made the more progress was when the Koreans who were playing in WCS NA/EU played on those regions' ladders

It sucks. The player cams when they come up are also misplaced and awkwardly big. Interface needs work.

back in my days the best you could do was resource count and supply, and that's only if WCG hacked the game for you
