I agree with people saying please dont Spoil. Theres nothing worse than having a match that you love ruined because the result is known. Honestly, it takes all the excitement out, theres no denying this. Even though the games can still be watched, anybody who says is the same thing is lying.

Our starcraft community is an online community and many of us watch the games at our own time. Teamliquid is one of the focal points of our community. Tl doesnt have to do anything they dont want to do, and if publishing results on a front page banner is something TL wants to do, im nobody to object.

Im just saying. This article is great, I love the hype and im looking forward to the finals more after reading it. None of the great things this article has to offer would have been worth less if the names of the players involved was removed from the banner. Just name it "GSL FINALS" and avoid the "POLT VS MMA" part. No one loses, and the people who havent watched the matches dont lose either.

The people saying "Its been 4 days get real stop whining" are entitled to their opinion as well. Its just not very constructive and I tell these people to place themselves in our shoes. Maybe you are travelling and dont have time. Maybe its been a rough week at work. And when that happens and youre games are spoiled. You will understand.

ok the solution is very simple. don't visit team liquid and don't read threads about tournaments until you are caught up. so simple. why should everyone else tiptoe around for you? that makes zero sense.

Great job on the write up, the build analysis overall is good to see explained in detail you all put in great effort.
I have to say MMA indeed has great marine micro decisions its really good to watch, the finals being a TvT should be fantastic hopefully a lot of back and fourth action in every game making it the most even finals (in Korea) yet.

Amazing write-up! As someone who doesn't play nearly enough, I greatly appreciate the build analysis =]. I'm really hoping that this series turns out to be like the TSL3 finals. Two great players on a roll, playing epic games and going to the final set. If anything like "CHILL GET OUT" happens, I will die of happiness.

When MMA whens, I'm really hoping for an arena-wide MMA chant. That would make this seemingly lackluster finals epic. Also...winner vs winner of showmatch! Haha! One can dream.

I was talking about the freaking amount of strategies that a Terran can evolve to with some freinds early today lolol.
It's insane.

TvT can also be awesome.

Go PoltPrime.WE ! Win the damn finals for the Prime sake, I wanna see MKP Jumping out of happiness for the prime pride. I think they very good friends & what better than having 2 of the best terrans in your own team

I'm confused as well. Do we have the wrong time? In how many hours is the match?

What a let down on MMA's part. He just didn't understand that polt always always always goes for early pressure and pushes. He never prepared for it in any of the four games and paid dearly for it. Sometimes players seem so fixated on one way of doing things, completely reluctant to change things drastically to accommodate for their opponents. Polt has been playing aggressively for a while now - where's the surprise?

As for Polt - congrats, you've just taught everyone a valuable lesson - fucking adapt to your opponent's weaknesses!

I feel bad for all the hype this great write-up generated lol, considering the fact that this was possibly the most one-sided finals I have ever seen with all this hype.
