WR5 SC2 at IPL5: Polt vs. Creator Recap

Game 1 on Entombed Valley

Polt commits to an economic build, going command center first. Creator responds by warping Nexus first after gateway. In an unorthodox move, he goes for early upgrades as opposed to a robotics facility. He then builds a twilight council followed immediately by a templar archives to research storm.

At the twelve minute mark, Polt builds his fourth command center and continues to research upgrades. He masses his bio force of marauders and marines, whereas Creator builds up a Protoss ball of death consisting of colossi, stalkers, and zealots. The battle culminates into an intense base trade, which Polt is able to win thanks to vikings back home (which eliminate all the colossi) and he takes the first game.

Game 2 on Ohana

Creator goes zealot stalker first and drops his second Nexus at six minutes. One gate expand into robotics then researchs thermal lance on the robotics bay, indicating colossi once again. Polt once again goes for a bio-heavy army. He scouts Creator's colossi and immediately queues up vikings.

Polt attacks Creator at the perfect time, as Creator's charge research was unfinished and his guardian shields were recovering. Creator poorly positions his army and his colossi are decimated by vikings and he concedes the game.

Match Report: Polt 2 - 0 Creator
