Polt's standard play vs. Zerg is macro mode...
But yeah, GO Scarlett! Show them why you're the best NA Zerg :D

Been a VERY VERY long time since Polt all ined a TvZ.

I hope Acer wins this. After seeing them go 4-5 against Prime, and seeing how well they have been doing, I hope they can close it out against TSL

It sounds really bad and sucks to harp on it but I can't believe a strong team didn't pick her up. Why no EG or Fnatic or Mouz? I feel her awesome talent is wasted on a small team like Acer but maybe she is training and will switch in a few months.

Why not Symbol? seeing the current TvZ meta...
|
I'm rooting for Acer and Scarlett to win, not because I have any affinity for them but I love the underdog :D
|
I would like to see Polt's Blue Flame Hellion build used in this game. It worked really well on Leenock, so it is an effective strategy to use.

In TvZ, Terran is always the underdog !

She's still too unproven for teams like that to pick her up, especially since she really wants to go to Korea. SirScoots said he needs more results to judge a player, Mouz didn't even want to support Thorzain staying in Korea... I don't know about Fnatic, but I'd guess it's for similar reasons.

I wouldn't be surprised if she started practicing hard vs mech as a direct result of that showmatch, to be honest.

This is very, very true these days.

Acer isn't a terrible team. Nerchio is one of the best Zergs outside Korea, and he could teach her a lot.

Polt has beaten Symbol, DRG, Leenock in ZvT series recently. Polt should win this if he doesn't derp like he did against Losira.

So because of some potential and a few wins against pretty good players Scarlett would be too good for a team like Acer...
I mean Scarlett seems solid, but this hype is just stupid.

Looks like Polt's variant on the Hellion/Bio build that he used on Stephano (aka Zyzz build).
|
Polt will need to do a lots of damage to justify such a late thirdCC

Of course Polt's the favorite. :p He's a GSL champion who's been in the GSL since 2010. But seeing an upset would be cool.
