that alone would earn him a rightful place in the finals - and then, start looking at his results, polt didn't have a single "free win" round

he faced losira, huk, maka, alicia and now top - at least 3 of them are super experts at their vs t matchup - making his wins even more of an accomplishment

i dunno, i we cant really make a judgement on how good his TvP is until he plays against a good protoss. The only 2 good protoss he has played against are Alicia and MC. In the MC games, MC did a nexus first into robo, and lost to MM pressure, game 2, well the exact same thing happened.

Against alicia, alicia just simply played badly.

Im not saying polt is bad in TvP, i just think its unfair to say he has the best TvP in the world when he hasnt beaten a good protoss yet. The only times he has played against a good protoss (and they didnt fail horribly), he lost miserably (ace and choya)


lolwut

He lost to Choya 6 months ago. Ever since he graduated from Seoul University his only loss in TvP has been against Ace in the Asia Champions Trophy, which btw he's won twice. And the fact that you cite Choya as a good protoss shows how pathetic your argument is.

Alicia didn't play badly at all. People need to stop listening to Artosis when he confuses his feelings as a spectator with his analysis as a player. Alicia made small mistakes that Polt turned into big advantages but he never threw away a single game.

Everyone refuses to believe it but here it is: Polt is currently the best Terran in the world. And yes, he intentionally cuts SCVs for his pushes.


I agreed with everything you said until that last statement. I agree that Polt is a monster but to say he's the best? We need to see him beat more S-class players before we go that far, until then MVP/MMA/MKP will be the best.

I love the irony in this whole situation of people hating on Polt.

People criticize Polt for not deserving his wins or being in the finals.

uhhh MMA got to the finals on ONLY TvT WITH TWO TEAMKILLS

But seriously people are really pathetic in their Polt hating.

You're making it sound like having to go through Ryung and GanZi somehow made it easier for him. -_-

TvT isn't even his best match-up. Well, maybe it is after going through this many Terrans, but it wasn't to begin with. =P

damn man, little bummed that the second series turned out the way it did.

IMO, current finals will be extremely one sided. MMA looks mfin solid like a roch.

MMA chokes? What? This guy has only won the last two GSTLs in the Ace match for SlayerS...

I dunno if I'd call his Code A performance choking either. He failed a 1 base all in then died to a proxy 4 Gate.

It's easier than facing Alicia, Top, and Losira.

Ganzi is 4-9 in TvT, and Ryung is 12-10, but because of every single player on SlayerS being overrated, they're AMAZING.

Plus facing teammates may not be desirable for players but it sure is easier for some people. You will rarely ever see a teammate upset another teammate, like San over NesTea. Not Seed over NesTea (just an example do show what I mean don't take this as anything ffs)

Polt is good but he's a tier below the top 4 terran. MVP, Bomber, MarineKing, MMA. MMA will be the favorite and I expect him to win 4-2 or 4-1. Polt can surprise us all tho, especially if he gets some good early banshee harass. If it gets to late game, MMA should win.

He's had some bad moments. His series against Huk may qualify as one but let's not try to say that he's unbeatable.

No one is saying he's unbeatable but to call him a choker is just ridiculous when he's consistently shown his nerves of steel.

Polt's worst trait in TvT it seems is the tank wars. Everything else he seems just as good as any other "Top" Terran, Bomber, Mvp, MMA, etc. The problem is is that Tank Wars are more often than not the most important thing.

So MMA's games at MLG don't count at all? To say Polt has faced more quality opposition recently is absurd

To keep bringing in the Up/Down matches isn't fair. He lost to MKP but beat him here, I doubt you'll find anyone that can reasonably say current MMA would lost to HuK

Yup, let's use match-up statistics to prove a point about players' skill, especially when it's 20 games or less in a game as young and volatile as SC2 at this point. -_-

This part is true though. Sue them for actually having a serious team around them rather than a glorified group of practice partners.

At this rate, I can see SlayerS getting even more haters than SKT. I'd say that's a good sign.

I said he's the best Terran in the world right now, not that he will remain the best. Mvp should be the best judging solely by skill but he's not here right now. MKP cannot be the best by definition since he almost always chokes when push comes to shove. MMA may be the best at the moment but even he showed some holes in his play at MLG Dallas, or did everyone magically forget that Sjow had him dead to rights on Shakuras and screwed it up? Or that Idra quit out of a game that he had in the bag and went on tilt afterwards?

Polt has not faced the amount of opposition that MMA has, you can't make that statement until you've seen Polt play similar level people

MMA versus Polt. The winners life is going to change in a big way. We haven't had a new winner since MVP got his first title back in Code S 1

Also, anyone who still thinks Polt isn't elite is crazy. This finals is insanely good, the two hottest players in the world by FAR going head to head.
