I really hate this match up right now. ZvT seems way too easy and every top Terran is having visible trouble against Zerg. When it comes to the idea of Terran being an unforgiving race in the match up, it's because Zerg can instantaneously dump all their excess resources into units while Terran must already have the infrastructure--- and even so they might have to queue--- in order to produce units. The flaws of the macro mechanics are showing at the highest levels now. If Zerg has an equal economy and additional larvaes, they will always have a larger army cost for cost than a Terran.
It seemed to me like Polt didn't have enough dps against the muta ling bling. Tank splash is always good against that comp no? Going tanks always gives mobility issues but that didn't stop terrans from going marine tank against zergs.

He was assuming Infestor play and a fast Hive, Bio with lots of medivacs is good against Infestors if you have good splits.
Siege tanks become useless once BL's are out.
I honestly can't see any other reason he wouldn't get tanks, you always want tanks against ling/bane.

It seemed like a specific build Polt had in mind. Polt usually just turtles on three base and then does a slow push with MMM and tanks. I think Monster delaying that third base forever really fucked up Polt's build or whatever he was going for. He also lost a good chunk of army to the mutas outta nowhere when he probably expected infestors.
