So glad to see Polt win this. He played great this tournament. Also congrats to Hyun for reaching another finals. Hopefully he gets to win one soon, which shouldn't take too long considering his current form. Love both the finalists, so any result was great.

Good writeup.

By the way, how did Naniwa beat JD? Timings, all-ins, cheese, macro? Didn't see the games.

Ehn that last game, Hyun fell apart. So many zergs have trouble dealing with multi-prong medivac harass.

Still an overall nice series, I liked game 3 for it's sheer strangeness i guess. gg polt

It wasn't just that Polt saved up 2k minerals for hellbat production, it was that he stayed on >1k minerals for minutes...and then won with hellbats. I actually have don't know what happened in that game.

Pretty much early to mid-game aggression that JD was woefully unprepared for i.e. Mass Void Rays in game 1.

Also there is interview with him on main - except it's probably the first uploaded so it's the only one you need to scroll right to see...

Great to see Polt doing well, progaming doesn't even seem to be his top priority these days and he still won a major championship. True testament to his talent in SC2, not many players I'd describe as a very smart player but Polt is definitely one of them.

I think the BM between players is rather annoying. I mean sure, it adds a certain drama to the tournament. But aren't the games drama enough already?
I don't know what's more childish. Thumbs-downing somebody or then not shaking the other guys hand because 'oh noez, you hurt me feelings, cry,cry'.
This obviously doesn't only apply to NaNiWa (cough IdrA cough) but still. But maybe that's just me :')

This article about naniwa is not that well researched. Actually naniwas results at the last WCS were not that good he almost dropped out of WCS entirely. he was defeated 2:0 by Mouz.HasuObs in the challenger league.

I think nani is one of those that sometimes outshine themselfs... and then drop back to a very poor result. His performance at WCS was nothing near to dreamhack or mlg...

I would say nani deliver on a level only stephano can do (talking only
forigners), but also slump in between like any top player. Every one have
bad periods, but name one who put up nanis results exept stephano?


not really. Stephano did well in almost all tournaments. Stephano rewrote the playstyle of pvz and pvt 2 - 3 times entirely marking new playstyles. Yes nani got up with the gateway first into 4 gate in hots... but honestly.. this was a build that was at the same time also used by hasuobs and MC but not seen by the big audience... while stephanos 12 roach max or is roach hydra vs. terran was completely new...

nani is a very good player don't get me wrong. but he is not that predictable as stephano is. Also I don't agree that stephano slips. even when stephano slips he was second place WCS season 1... if that is called slipping than we have a problem here...

You missunderstod me. Stephano is the best, no contest. My point
was only stephano can show better results then Nani. Naniwa is by far nr 2
on the best forigners list despite a bad run at wcs and dh summer.

I don't know about that. Lucifron is an extremely strong player... TLO said recently that he thinks that lucifron is at the moment the strongest foreigner and I kinda agree with him. Seeing lucifron play amazes me everytime. But we will see how nani performs at WCS season 2. I hope for the best, since I can always steel his builds

Polt is awesome, he's such a humble champ

While Lucifron may be technically strongest - I don't know, I'm not on the level to judge that - results-wise NaNi still outshines both TLO and Lucifron.

'JvP' is not really that weak anymore, it's a running gag that's far past it's prime.

JaedongvP lets face it .. still not top notch .. still not on the same level with his JvT .. although JvT is still not as insanely good as his JvZ .. while he is still weak in that matchup against top notch players .. he has still alot of room to improve and i believe he will still manage to reach in par with innovation,flash and others .. but maybe thats a long road to go
