I was immersed reading this article. What really stimmed me was "Boxer knew that while winning was the most important thing, winning with an identity was almost as important".

Thank you Waxangel!

I've forgiven Polt for the insults towards Jinro but his freakishly long neck still pisses me off to no end.

On a serious note, I just hope we finally have a final that is worthy of being a final! I hope MMA wins but I'm hoping Polt can give him a good run for his money.

So exited! It has potential to a great final for once. I really hope Polt can live up to all the hype I have build up towards him doing this tournament

Polt Fighting!

I approve of the TheBest bashing in the OP.

Also, MMA is too handsome to lose!

I don't know if people remember, but during the group ceremony for the last code S, there was something that truly stood out. I remember every pro gamer saying "I want to avoid Protoss", and picked a Terran or a Zerg, leading to the group of TvTvTvT and all that. I remember Huk being picked last as every single Protoss was feared by the pro gamers. Tthere was only one person who no one picked, and everyone was really confused.

Poltprime. For someone many considered really mediocre, the viewers of the LR thread were surprised Polt wasn't picked early and that he was being left with the feared pro tosses. The signs were there that Polt was not a joke, no one noticed.

very nice writeup, I just wish you wouldnt of spoiled it in huge letters on the main page. I understand most people are caught up with the games, but other people, myself included havent gotten that far when watching the VODS, and it has now been spoiled

My own fault I guess.

The factor of who won may be spoiled but the great play is still there for you to enjoy!

Polt will go 3-0 against MMA, leaving him behind. MMA then goes in to super saiyan mode and comes back 4-0 to win it 4-3.

Wow, so MMA just had all TvT this entire tournament? I did not even notice. Honestly, that is kinda lame. I think just because of that I would much rather Polt win. I get that it is not up to MMA who he faces, but it's just kinda disappointing.

Great write-up. Loved the reasons not to like Polt and the builds to look for too. Thanks.

Well, 45% of all the tournament was Terran (a percentage that increased each round of the tournament), so MMA's schedule was fairly representative.

I hope Polt is not another Inca/MKP/July/Rain/Rainbow.

H. He gets to hug and touch MarineKing while you can't.

I. He might take away the OptimusPrime ID that many thought was destined to be MarineKing's.

J. He's the person responsible for the terrible streams at MLG Dallas.

That freaking bastard !!!
