Thanks. You can't possibly think that ghosts wouldn't help against this infestor-heavy play Thats not what I'm asking, I'm asking people to point out games where they have been used. Until then all we have is random forum posters telling players like Polt how to play. Besides, I find ghosts hard to justify when a tank costs about the same amount, a tank shot does the same damage as a snipe and ghosts now have literally NO other use besides countering infestors. As they really shouldn't. Any amount of EMP on Stephano's clumped infestors would have greatly mitigated the amount of damage his fungals dealt on all that bio. I'm not saying ghosts would have definitively won Polt that game but those fungals were definitely tearing his marine-heavy army to shreds. EMP's radius just isn't enough to make it worthwhile at all, even heavily clumped infestors will only let you hit 2 or 3 per EMP tops. Ghosts also take away from other gas units, plus are vulnerable to the techswitches that Stephano loves to pull off. Polt doesn't use ghosts traditionally in his play anyway so it'd be a big risk to try and refine that against a player of the calibre of Stephano | ||

Stephano played better this series, but they're both S class players, in my mind. It's a valid comment. Polt was code B and got a code s seed. He certainly didn't display code s level play today. He played quite disappointing today. Can't count how many free tanks polt gave away each game or how many times he blew away leads. It's not a valid comment so say a player isn't Code S quality from a single series. Especially against someone like Stephano. you also have to take into consideration that polt is seriously jetlagged by 20 hours while stephano spent a full week in texas. It's not even jetlag. Stephano played great. All seven games between them were insanely close. It's silly to take one series and go, 'Wow, he doesn't deserve the seed because he lost to a great player.' By those standards, we should kick MVP out of the GSL for losing to Demuslim or Nestea losing to Ret. | ||

This always happens regardless of who wins. | ||

So does MVP not deserve Code S because he played awful yesterday against Seal? Code S players lose all the time. Stephano scouted Polt and played perfectly against him. I mean, who else would you give the Code S seed to? I'd rather not give out code S seeds at all and would just have players earn it. Players like bomber and losira were code s regulars and both got knocked to code b, with only bomber making it back in this season to code a. It's damn hard to get back to code s once knocked to code b. Polt just got a shortcut with the seed. I'm a polt fan, but he did not play well today at all. | ||

You are lucky to hit 2 infestors with 1 EMP when the radius is so small, snipe is probably more cost effective at countering infestors. But then you compare it to a tank and see even less reason to build a ghost. When no progamer builds ghosts in TvZ any more, they probably have pretty damn good reasons for it. | ||
