The main staple of Stephano is infestors. If he could have stopped them in the first two games, he wins. Stephano is playing really great today. Stephano seems way better than other foreign Zergs at retaining his Infestor count. Did anyone spot to see if he has them on their own hotkey?
I've seen him with his whole army (infestors included) on 1 and infestor/corruptor/broodlord on 2, but he seems to manage it well.
In the Antiga Shipyard game he did a LOT of infestor headbutting, it's as if he was always panicked and racing and couldn't quite pay enough attention to his unit control. On daybreak, he kept the infestors alive much better.

Probably the same people who always talk about balance.
Or maybe they understand than investing heavily in anti-psionic only (because they have no other purpose right now) is suicide against a race that tech-switches like its nothing

MVP single handedly got Ghosts nerfed.

I'm not sure why you guys are overestimating Polt's abilities. He doesn't perform that well in GSL. I don't think its so amazing that Stephano is beating him.

I think we should let the series finish first, but I'm just remarking at exactly how much "Code S Material" means for Zergs right now.

I want Polt to win some games, only to see more great games.

Polt going to win 6 games in a row.
I believe.

But a roach/bane allin wouldnt be bad. Polt doesnt get that early tanks and is quite greedy himself. Polt has gone CC first multiple times today, 6 pool might just work! I guess youre right. But even with CC first there have been holds (Taeja). And its almost a guaranteed lost if its not CC first.
I think Lucky beat MMA's proxy 11/11 with a 6pool as well, but that doesn't seem to be Polt's style.

Stephano is le tired, just yawned twice.

I think you right Fionn. Polt will go home and study Stephano new playstyle and counter that. Then stephano will do the same next time. Its simply amasing to watch its like chess just the 3d version of chess.
Best sc2 rivalry ever
I hope these 2 players meet eachother alot in tournament finals:D

Ghosts are useless now with the sniper nerf. Wrong. Ghosts are useless for sniping Broodlords. Ghosts are broken against infestors, which are the sole reason Polt is losing. If he adds ghosts, snipes the infestors, or even EMP's them. He will win. Wrong. Infestors aren't even the main problem when facing that army. The main problem are Ultras and Broodlord and your lack of DPS against these units, hence why you either need marauders or vikings. Ghosts are not worth the investement just to emp infestors, they are essentially useless now against every other unit. They never should've been an answer to every teir 3 zerg unit in the first place.

Cloud Kingdom... I think Polt is fucked.

Heh, if this were an MLG event, the grand final would be over already :c
