StarCraft 2 - Polt vs. CJ herO (TvP) - IEM 2015 Taipei - Group A

[@RandgruppenLeader]

I have to say that these comentators are a really, really good team. They are having fun and so have I. :D

[@clarkecorvo2692]

Agreed. SC2 has some damn good casters.

[@Lasse3]

I love how Todd puts the pressure on words like " Execution " " opponent " like O-ponent, Ex - xecution ^^

[@Grievance87]

Haha, either they have to adjust the sound or the lights simply go off, there always has to be smth it seems. But very professional from the casters to net even mention it a sec

[@Bladavia]

That last game o_O

[@SuperPepae]

D:

[@HangerFilmsSpa]

Starcraft... What else ^^

[@sixpooltube]

herO's colossi control in game one is the best I've ever seen.

[@lukaszepesi]

It was a good idea to attack the vikings when the bio wasn't there but then his stalkers got cut off from the rest of the army and he was fucked :). It was more the stalkers that were out of position than the colossi control. When it's just vikings vs colossi you can't win no matter how well you control them. He probably should have saved his blick so he could retreat back to the army, but he blinked in and then he could only walk away when the marauders came back to protect the vikings. But it's easy to say that when you're watching a vod.

[@199432514]

***** Just your average GM protoss.

[@RobsRobotChannel]

I didn't know what Kolorais was talking about with the Tasselope either at 48:52

[@Shallowandpedantic42]

I thought that Polt might have came back from that.

[@teudaan]

Polt never had a chance, CJHerO lost the first game due to his arogrance and greatly underestimate his American opponent skill. Playing that kind of greed, building so many drones at mid-late game instead of army wtf? very uncharacteristic of CJ HerO he could had finished Polt in game 1 if he played normally because early game gave him a slight advantage already.

[@Apacz97PL]

teudaan Isn't Polt Korean?

[@Shallowandpedantic42]

Mycroft Griffin I think that Teudaan is pointing out that Polt lives in America and has an American work visa.

[@GabrielPintacasi0810]

Has Polt won anything outside of the WCS? He hasn't advanced far in any Korean tournaments right or at least for a while?

[@littlefish6415]

oh no, hero went to Taipei and I missed it orz...

[@ngoclongvu3944]

Her0 has made very good progress recently!

[@Pletzmutz]

This is CJ herO, not LiquidHer0.

[@brainwasher9876]

Polt hates Nexus so much that it's funny.

[@AlexaRobin21]

+Andrew Wang He's called the Nexus Sniper for a reason.

[@noahkrensel3961]

Did Polt even try in this series he was so scrappy.......

[@JaapvanderVelde]

For God's sake kaelaris : 1 Colossus, 2 or more Colossi. After all these years... it's like nails on a chalkboard.

[@RandgruppenLeader]

This bothers me like hell mate. Thank god I'm not the only one.^^ Colossuses is a proper way of saying it as well, for your information.

[@JaapvanderVelde]

Yeah, I know - good comment, but no need to further confuse the native speakers ;)

[@marcusverrus]

Actually Colossi is fine since Colossus is a latin word. And the proper ending for this word in plural in latin is colossi. So chill... ;)

[@JaapvanderVelde]

marcusverrus myeah... After reading your one comments, I don't have a very high opinions of your understandings of my one posts. FYI: the Romans only used plural to indicate more than one, which was exactly my point - as totally missed by you.

[@marcusverrus]

Jaap van der Velde youre right. my bad

[@mimalsoc1948]

he is Amaz???

[@lundatjie]

Nicely done, CJ Hero!i

[@No1important88]

Polt left game 3 too early, was only down 10 workers and 10 army.

[@teudaan]

andrew1007 also he was hopelessly 4 upgrades behind, couldnt reestablish third while Hero already have his third mining.

[@TokyoQuaSaR]

Terran fighting spirit

[@TokyoQuaSaR]

teudaan herO lost his natural there though. Apart from upgrades the game was still close imo. For sure it was in favor of the toss but still winnable for the terran. Terrans are frustrating even when they lose, because they will not let the toss enjoy his domination. They will GG as soon as he loses a fight. A protoss will not GG even when falling apart from drops everywhere and no AOE until they have 0 chance of winning. That's why my favorite Terrans are MarineKing and Fantasy.

[@jasonpli]

POLT the Nexus Sniper!

[@lobsterfork]

Why do the top Protoss players place their pylons and tech buildings in the back by their mineral line/workers? Isn't that just helping Terran harassment?

[@roblaquiere8220]

It depends, having the tech structures scouted is bad yes; but blocking the movement of the Terran harass units is better by far. It helps to mitigate the damage in mineral lines when units like hellions cannot use their speed fully.

[@caloreen1992]

lobsterfork What Rob said, the buildings clog up holes for hellions to run through

[@WoodedMicrobe9]

lol protoss gets off guard and still wins in game 3 im like O_o wtf

[@shikaku2827]

Was a suicidal move from Polt to just throw all his army into the deathball for some buildings, he got to eager , cant just waste your army like that, even if its for buildings , the protoss didnt even need these buildings after the engagement anyways.

[@centripetal25]

that commentator on our right with the accent has no idea what he's talking about

[@TheNighthawk00]

That's ToD a (semi-)professional SC2 player. He knows much much more about the game than you.

[@michaelbauers8800]

TheNighthawk00 He probably says the same thing about Snute :)

[@ThangNguyen-rr6qd]

Sao viet nam ko to chuc nhu vay nhi

[@morradi10000]

We need native english speaking casters. These french and dutch guys are doing my head in.

[@Andrew-mn7uw]

Kaelaris is English

[@morradi10000]

Andrew Day Yes, I know that, mate. I was reffering to Rotterdam and that french guy. Their knowledge of the game and esports in general is great, I just prefer people that speak "proper" English. (I have a terrible accent myself, btw)

[@Andrew-mn7uw]

ah, i put personality above proper english, although it is a close second

[@michaelbauers8800]

morradi10000 I have zero issues understanding them, and I am 50 with bad hearing from too many rock concerts.

[@austinmundy90]

the lag

[@ji-mukang2130]

00:00

[@andershove12]

i dont like polts decisioon making here, very impatient..

[@thekingsavatar8]

Terran OP~

[@michaelbauers8800]

Albert Lee Why do people always say that :)

[@peterjacobs7082]

Michael Bauers because they don't know how to play

[@gabrielhedin1697]

Great cast and games, but whats up with the obsession of the players speaking english?

[@motionafter]

gs

[@paulevangelista6040]

1st

[@erikm9768]

heavy french accents... todds accent is almost unbearable to hear

[@erikm9768]

what is worse, he likes to speak a lot
