I had a great analogy where Boxer is Don Corleone, Fantasy is Sonny, MMA is Michael, and iloveoov is Tom Hagen. Then I realized the cross section of people who watched early 2000's pro BW AND The Godfather is surprisingly small.

Great Writeup. You definitely hit the nail on the head with the Polt article. I would love nothing more than to see him become Optimus Prime. It would be him metaphorically taking a giant dump all over MKP fans.
That being said, I hate that with Polt in the finals if Polt beats MMA it becomes a shared win by Polt and MKP. I know for a fact that if MKP made it instead (fighting against TOP), it would all be MKP with no mention of Polt. I sense Bias :|

This will be the first GSL finals where I would be completely okay with either side winning (Except MC v July). If MMA wins we get to see Boxer reincarnate taking titles all over the place. If Polt wins, there will be Metaphorical dumping :D

Hate me now by Fionn


I disagree with everyones constant assessment that MMA only having to play TvT to get to the final is relevant. Interesting, but irrelevant. If it was just like InCa and he was carried on the success of PvP and cheesy builds then I may agree, but MMA has shown extreme prowess at TvT and the finals..
Are TvT.



But what I'd really like to say is thank you to all the writers. I <3 you all. Great work as always.

Oh, I wasn't comparing MMA to Inca at all. MMA totally deserves his place in the final and is probably playing some of the best Starcraft in the entire world at the moment, alongside his opponent Polt. The comment about him being in all TvT was just to show how silly some people are at saying how Polt only got here on his TvP ability, when he was the one to face all the races in his journey to the final.

Thanks for enjoying the work and hopefully you guys read the GSL Super Tournament Recap article we do after the finals. I have a good idea on what I want to write about, and I think it'll be pretty fun!

Aww I love both of them.

That being said, I reserved the right to make a Polt fanclub months ago. If he wins, I'm throwing that up as fast as humanly possible ^^

Good article!

Just in, tweeted by GOMTV, not only will you see the epic finals between MMA and Polt tomorrow, you will also get a special opening treat in a Best-of-Five LG Cinema 3D Special League Final that will pit SC, from the team fOu, against the one and only DongRaeGu from MVP!

Hopefully more details will follow on when that match will take place and the time the stream will start. So even if you hate TvT, tune in tomorrow to see a great TvZ battle for the grand prize of $9,000 and a 55" 3D television!

People seriously need to stop proclaiming Boxer's heirs every time a terran player in a team he's affiliated with does something right. Fantasy wasn't it, and considering how volatile the sc2 rankings have been up to now, MMA probably not as well. Furthermore, it makes Boxer seem to be like a rock star without a clue about protection.

Oh, and what about Killer, JD's heir? Best, Kingdom's heir? Hwaseung Protoss, with Anytime helping them? KT Zerg? Fox Terran? It's all just a silly figure of speech, a figment of correlation.
