EPTI mean, it looks pretty unnatural how they are moving currently, all cuddled together shoulder by shoulder. But it does fit the zerg theme, with them all being controlled by a single entity.

I'm just new to the TL family I started with IEM Shenzhen, did picture gallery that was posted on TL and transcribed interviews. Then IEM Toronto I did the infeza interview and the up close and personal video, and photos for the event. Went to Redbull in DC this past month, again the gallery posted here were mine and helped monk/wax with the DRG/Scarlett interviews. And inbetween all that I do graphics with shiro together (as suggested by my adorable little brush icon) for all these news article posts and such ^^ I coded the layout for the road to blizzcon articles. | ||

Polt says that all pros who played exhibition games agreed that Zerg is the strongest right now! Followed closely by Terran. Whaaat? From what we've seen, Herc's good, Cyclone is OP to hell, Banshees are great, Siege Tanks got buffed, Thors got buffed, BCs got buffed... and Zerg is potentially even stronger than that appears at first glance? | ||

And looks like the pros are in the same boat as the comunity (except some BW orfans): they like most of the changes. | ||

I don't think we need full transcriptions, but maybe a very short summary of the opinions in general might be in order for those who don't have time to watch all of the videos. | ||

Siege Tanks didnt get a buff. At least not directly. More indirectly through Medivacs cause they can picked up in Siege Mode. A straight buff would be something like a damage buff or cost reduction. Nice Interviews. Nice to know what all the High level players think about the changes. | ||

"Can now be picked up by Medivacs" is a buff, because the unit can now do a good thing it could not do before. Regardless. The point is Terrans got some straight buffs, some OP units, some indirect/synergistic buffs and added utility... and yet all pros agree to a man that Zerg is stronger. Whaaaaaaaaaat. | ||

+ Show Spoiler + Seeker: Polt, how are you? Polt: Hi, Pretty good. Seeker: So Polt, you are here in Anaheim, the Blizzcon Grand Finals Stage. How do you feel being in this kind of environment right now? Polt: Everyone knows that Blizzcon tournament is the best tournament for Starcraft 2 players, and, it is glorious to be here as a player. Seeker: Now, Polt, I'm sure many fans are going to wonder what's going to happen to you for 2015. You are here living in America so still going to participate in WCS America, so a lot of the fans are wondering what is your plan, what are you going to do, what will we expect from Polt for 2015? Polt: The year 2015 will be pretty much the same as 2014 for me. I will be staying in America for the whole year and playing in WCS America, I don't know if I need to say America or Europe, but anyways, the combined WCS, so it's basically the same. I will participate in a lot of foreign tournaments like IEM or Dreamhack, so I think I have a lot of chance to win another trophy and show my games to my fans. Seeker: So, Polt, I'm sure a lot of fans are curious about this, because you are actually one of the few players who got to experience LotV, you actually got into the finals of the exhibition matches with your partner SoO. So the fans want to know, I want to know, everyone wants to know how do you feel about the LotV changes, the worker changes, the mineral changes, how do you feel about these changes, are they good, are they bad? Polt: Yeah, all of the players and David Kim talked about that a lot because David Kim and balance they wanted to hear the pro players' opinion and the pro players want to hear why they make those changes. So, the conclusion is basically most of people think the beginning of the game is kind of boring, because if one of the players doesn't do something proxy, then basically it's the same, they just mine minerals make workers and expand; they they wanted to delete that part and jump into the next part. And the mineral change is, there is like Protoss or Terran just defend, defend, defend, build 200 army and go out, that's not the situation the balance team wanted, so they want to change that. Since the mineral patches reduced to 1000, players need to expand more and more, that makes more engagements to happen, and possibly nothing like just making swarm hosts and defending or just making mech and defending. That's not going to happen in LotV. Seeker: I see. Thank you very much Polt. So all 3 races we have new units and a lot of changes have occurred. Tell us, which race do you think is the strongest race, which race is the weakest race, which race do you think got the most benefit out of all these changes that occurred? Polt: It's very difficult to say because we are not used to playing that game, it's totally new, we just played like a few games, maybe more than 10 games, but it's just not enough to get into that game. So, but, as far as we talked about that, all of the pro players here concluded that Zerg is the strongest, Terran is pretty close to Zerg, and Protoss is so weak. Seeker: Thank you Polt, those were some great insights on changes that occurred with LotV. Now, those changes aren't final, but for now, you heard what Polt's opinion about the changes for LotV was. I think that LotV has potential to be an amazing game, an amazing expansion. Now Polt, do you have some words for the fans who love you, who scream out your name every time you win a championship? Polt: Actually, I'm really sorry, because I lost in Ro16. It was not expected to me, I think. But, I have a lot of tournaments coming up, one will be IEM San Jose, that will be great, I don't know about next year, I will have WCS America and other IEM and Dreamhack tournaments, things like that. So, I think I'm sure I'm going to win at least another championship trophy, so please keep cheering for me. everyone knows I live in America and I love American fans. Thank you. Seeker: There you go, that was Polt, he loves his American fans and he wants you to keep cheering for him, and we will because we know he is one of the greatest Terran players out there right now. This is Seeker from Team Liquid, signing out for now. | ||
