I was searching through VODs looking for inspiration for another article when I saw Polt lose an army in a weird way and then win the game shortly afterward.
Can we have a link please?
It is not exactly the same story, but be amazed by Polt : he loses his whole fucking economy, faces DRG who has a huge bank, and makes a comeback out of thin air :
Who is casting with TB? He sounds familiar.. Wolfe?

Along similar lines, I watch Polt's games, compare them to how I play, and think that this sort of guide can basically be summed up as:
1) Polt is awesome 2) You, on the other hand, suck at Starcraft 3) That is all

This is actually a quantum quirk of the universe, resulting in the following paradox:
If Polt is behind, he's actually ahead. The only way to beat Polt is to put yourself so behind that he's behind, which then puts him ahead and... wait, shit.

You didn't read the whole thing did you? Its not that polt is good and everyone else is bad, its that his ability to create space on the map and control it is what wins. If you learn how to do even a portion of what he does, and have a gameplan like he does, you will win much much more.
I am so detached from the scene....My first thought was "Why would TL have an article about 4M (meaning Man,Machine,Material, Method), it doesnt make sense". Then it came to me, its something about sc2....but what...i couldnt grasp it, honestly. Sad times.

but he lost to first 2x at last wcs finals with like zero chances. polts tvp vs top tosses is very bad imho...
Polt has a unique style of TvP of basically multipronged hit squads. Compared to what other Terran's do which is mostly posturing, Polt does a lot of doom drops that is interesting to see and much more fun to play. And really, one series doesn't really mean that much in the grand scheme of things. He's been really damn good in every matchup for the last few months.

Actually, I think it is just a stylist match up issue vs First. First is really good in terms of splitting his army and defending vs multi pronged attacks. His weakest seems to be positioning for big engagement. Thus First is bad vs SCV pulls and that is why First has been losing a lot of TvPs recently.
