I've never been a huge Stephano fan but it is hard to root against him in this series. It is incredible watching him play against Polt who is actually looking so much stronger than he has recently.
I'm very impressed by this match, I didn't expect to enjoy it this much when I saw the players but wow, these guys are incredible right now.

Also: I almost do have the mentality of Foreigners vs Koreans, we are a huge team of underdogs and its like every bad sports movie ever, you have to root for the underdog against the reigning champion.
TL Mafia. Love it. Play it. http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/index.php?show_part=31 I find Kennigit really attractive. If anyone has a picture of him please feel free to PM it to me.

Well lets be honest here, Stephano didnt fight anyone of that high level in this tournament, PuMa maybe, but PuMa has trouble even in Code A, I guess we'll see after his finals against Polt. That said, Polt just dropped into code B...



I understand but you can only beat whoever is infront of you and the fact is potentially 3 koreans are going to fall to him today..

The only time i remember anyone beating more than 2 koreans en route is when QXC all killed team IM. So this would be really a feat of strength.

The class of korean at this tournament may not be at the highest level but theyve still been good enough to own every other foreigner in the tourny..

It's happened before.

HuK beat MC, July, MKP, TheStc, and then MC again (4-1 total) to win MLG Orlando.

Stephano beat Violet, Inori, Stc, and Lucky to win IPL3.

I don't quite get this, to be honest. Rooting for the foreigner, in this case Stephano, just because he's the foreigner and his opponent happens to be Korean?

I understand rooting for Stephano because he's your favorite player, or favorite Zerg, or because you're French, or because you root for Millennium taking home a tournament...

It's like me rooting for Jeremy Lin because he's Asian. Even Lin himself said it undermines his actual abilities, it undermines him as an individual player, and all the attention and talk undermines the other players on his team who he sees as important as he is.

Maybe I'm just thinking weird :\

stephano needs to learn how to turtle or zerg just need more options late game vT. dunno exactly which but it was painful to watch a 2 base Terran crush a well stablished Z over and over again.

Stephano played so much better.
This game is just dumb.
^^Most of that is just my incredible disappointment but I do feel sour inside.
Starcraft is a lifestyle.

Wow Polt is so good. His positioning in every single engagement was brilliant, except for that one engagement where he lost everything.

Stephano screwed up so many times though. He threw away his army several times into Polt's natural which got him cornered.

Polt is such a genius.

Polt mechanics are just strong, as the fundation of earth ( he may did 2 mistake with his splitting in the whole bo7, dont supplyblockd himself, always playd abusevly with his rine drops with the positioning beautyfully), it prooving enough, and I also feel Stephano after meta littlebit gave up. Btw that was the most intense match of the whole tournament, was just totally kick ass. To play on the lvl were Polt playd today make korean terrans always ahead of evryone else...
you shouldn't be passive, you had to be agressive!!

Polt played like a magician, and that's all there is to it. He outclassed Stephano in every single way, and that's why he won. Thank you, Polt, for showing such an awesome performance ♥

I really like this new TL layout. Seeing Polt on the front page as soon as he wins is epic.
