Polt- enthusiastic, mannered, great guy. Very glad he won.

MLG, on the other hand, I'm super disappointed in. There was no reason to block mobile devices, and I think that might be the last straw for me with MLG's products (and I've paid for the premium for every MLG since they still had Super Smash Bros and WoW arena).

We already went through the same thing with select. Some people will consider a foreign rep. Some will consider him korean. There will never be a consensus.

As far as favorite players go, seeing Polt win and Naniwa go far makes me overjoyed. However, seeing that those two favorites also had some ugly though amusing drama happen between them specifically makes me go ._.

Jezzz people how does Naniwa train? He always seems to come out of no where and beat top level Koreans and make it into at least the top 8 in every major torny.

The most amazing thing about the tournament wasn't that Naniwa and Polt took out Kespa's best of the best 2-0, but that Polt won without abusing hellbats game after game. I mean, yes he used them but didn't make a career out of using them game after game in every situation and whether the other player knows they're coming or not simply can't compete cost effectively with it like Innovation.

Polt had played in that tournament as well, not even making it to the Ro16 before getting eliminate

Forgot the 'd' at the end of elimnated.

But anyway, thanks for the read.. so damn happy for polt and the naniwa subplot was so humorous!

Fantastic wrap up, tournament was lack luster but my god the semi's and finals were amazing games to watch, well worth suffering through the earlier parts

Also thumbs up for Day9 and Djwheat. Great casting. I liked how they remained very excited in the last game, even though it was clearly over after the helion runby. I still felt the hype, even though it was actually quite anti climactic.

The USA "adoption" of Polt, and the Polt thumbs down to Naniwa were very exciting and warm/fuzzy moments for me in this MLG. Polt is simply put, good for the game.

Also, the good guy/bad guy drama between Polt and Naniwa makes sense, since as we all learned from "Man of Steel", all the good hero's get adopted by America!

I think he would bite if anyone tried to take that from him.
