Oh that's why he was up 2:0 :p MMA IS choking, you can see it at many small things like banshee control, map awareness, micro etc. I don't want to take anything away from Polt, he is playing fucking amazing. And when 1 player chokes and the other one plays amazing you get such onesided games. | ||

It's not so much that as it is Polt not letting him get to that midgame that he loves with his multi-pronged drop+attack tactics comfortably, something that MKP took advantage of and almost rolled him in the RO4 before MMA caught on and played a little safer early game. | ||

Polt's micro outclasses MMA, so he's usually the early game to get the early advantage and pin MMA into his base. | ||

Polt is playing extraordinary, a) he's executing his builds perfectly b) he is completely prepared for MMA's style (see patroling vikings, sensor towers and patroling marines on meta) c) he's judging army trades exquisitely, and his attack windows are spot on d) his scouting is baller e) his macro with its relevant timings (when to build what, when to expand etc.) is on the ball 3. MMA is playing decently, certainly not nearly as bad as you fanboys are making it out to be (rewatch game on meta, and if you're talking about supply block in the mid-game, see point 4) 4. MMA plays weak because he crushes under pressure of a type neither he nor most players would be prepared for. the analogy here would between a forced and an unforced error in Tennis. 5. Polt's builds in themselves are not the hardest thing to execute. the way he exeutes them for his style however is harder than fuck, this is top of the top level play. see point 2. 6. MMA is undeprepared and doesn't show a true champion's adaptability. as i said in the past, the kid isn;t ready to stand with the very best for the moment, and this proves it. 7. these games are definitely better than all the finals in the GSL thus far except MKP vs. Nestea. i hope this calls out some of misconceptions and/or stupidity going on in this thread. relax most of us know this we just don't want to get involved in the shitfest that the people that don't are stirring | ||

And when 1 player chokes and the other one plays amazing you get such onesided games. But MKP choked against MMA, too. After MKP lost the fourth game, he totally fell apart. MMA had him right for the pickings. In my article that I wrote about how Polt could win this series, I said the main thing Polt had over MKP is his mental toughness. The guy is always prepared and doesn't tilt. Of course this could change in the biggest tournament of all-time for 100k and if MMA comes back, but he knows how to handle pressure. | ||
