That's weird. Hydra and Snute lost on Prion Terraces. Considering that people say zerg has like ~60% win rate on this map.


They both lost to neeb :p

I don't think prion terraces favour zerg so much, you only have 1 timing where you can use it and its not that strong anymore, if protoss survives that then prion is better for protoss

Foreigners will NEVER catch up to the Korea. These players consistently lose to the AM Koreans and would get absolutely dismantled vs the KR guys. I hate this but I've come to accept it


"Foreigners" can't catch up because Koreans have pro teams and coaches. They have practice infrastructure.


Sure, but I have to wonder what the excuse is when it comes to Polt. He's been in the US for 3 years. Was he just so dominant that his out-of-prime form is still miles better than every foreigner?


He's just that good. Remember Polt beating Koreans left and right during the blink era? Remember him beating Hydra who was fresh out of Korea in WCS S1 2015? Polt is weirdly good that I think he would be like innovation if he stayed in KR.

so if polt stayed in korea he'd lose to stork too?

Those are the heights everyone is aiming for. Being allowed to lose to Stork.

I'd rather see Zest vs top zerg on Prion Terraces before I believe Nerchio.

Maybe, but his mechanics are weak, always have been. I think the highest tier of Korean Zergs would have ended up bullying him pretty hard.

Hypothesis: Koreans are better because they are playing more from a younger age, because gameing in PC bang is in the culture.
There could be an analogy with US basket ball players.

that's the sacrifice you make, he was basically maru's parallel but he had to give up the mechanics in order to be normal sized
