Great write up, great tournament. Gj polt and hyun and hero and nani!
Weird bug on that sc2earnings site: they spelled Jurgen's name wrong, and that definitely isn't what the German flag looks like

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

What have Lucifron done in recent tourneys? Yes him and TLO is great
Players but have not shown the result nani put up.

While I disagree with Naniwa being better than Snute or TLO (at least lately!), considering Snute only lost 3-4 to Taeja, and beat Hyun, while TLO lost I think 2-3 to Taeja, while also beating Hyun. That's easily just as impressive, and I think they have more consistent results with HotS.

But wonderful write up :D I loved seeing polt win!

@Keidy: TLO just finished in ro4, equalling nani's round of four here haha. And I think he has more consistent finishes than naniwa lately. Naniwa is obviously a great player, but TLO and Snute imo are doing better. Also, TLO beat nani in WCS ro16 fwiw

Congratz to Polt on winning this MLG.

It's lamentable for HerO that Hyun presented such a roadblock for him. I would have liked him to finally take an MLG.

TLO was 3rd @ HSC while NaNi hit SF in MLG:SC. While MLG had weakest lineup in long, long time, it still was more impressive than HSC.

I think the discussion about who is the best foreigner is really... just a bit weird. there are many good foreigner Sjow beat Life... what no one really expected showing a very, very good performacne aswell...

so... we wait and see. I think nani is good. but honestly in the games vs. polt he made very very stupdi mistakes that cost him the games.. like throwing away 2 colossi... man he would have won the game with 2 more colossi in the game... these are mistakes you can't make on highest level honestly.
and this is the problem why nani has sometimes so good results... and then he slippes so hard like WCS S01...

It's so sad that again and again Americans are trying to make someone "their" representative instead of actually having one.

Considering he lives here, will be living here for the foreseable future, I would definitely consider him a representative of my country.

I would say the USA joke is tasteless but that would mean it's actually funny.

tsk tsk

Regardless, if Polt is considered a representative of the USA, that means that he's now a foreigner. Something I'm not sure I agree with. :p

Watched it yesterday outside my home on my laptop (stupid twitch and their mobile service)

Sloppy last game with both players making mistakes, but I guess nerves do happen. Otherwise overall glad Polt won, hard not to cheer for him to win it, even though both players were very humble
