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.
I would agree with all of this. I love MMA. I love him to death. I love him much more than Polt. Polt is a much better Terran than MMA is. Polt is actually amazing, which is sort of hard to believe remembering a TvT of his vs Jinro early on in the GSL... still, Polt is undeniably a top player now. At the same time, I wouldn't say MMA is terrible or anything. I think he could grow into a creative, good, and exciting player.

I daresay MKP is possessing Polt atm, no other explanation. As a massive MKP fan, you are doing Polt a disservice. The most impressive thing about Polt's performance tonight so far imo is the way he's handled himself; he was confident and clear in the interviews, he looks calm in the booth, and he's playing excellently on the big stage while under great pressure. It takes a special kind of person to really perform at your best when the pressure is on.
I agree. I think MKP is probably better at the game than Polt, but Polt isn't much worse and he handles pressure better, which is a huge part of big games like this.
Even if MMA wins the next 3 games Polt won't choke in the final game, but MKP probably would.
(I say this as a massive MKP fan.)

Alright MMA, you got Polt right where you want him. Time for your standard come from behind victory.

i'm not talking for the likes of you, i'm idealistic like that, hoping some of the trolls will stfu. 
also i need to edit that i bet on MMA because he's so good. the points i'm making here are not to glorify Polt, but to give his play in this finals justice.

There's nothing wrong with the way MMA is playing, its just Polt is playing so much faster and with a bigger hammer than anyone else in the gsl right now. His timing are sick and he's changing the metagame for the better! Actually there is. If MMA techs to banshees while expanding again I'll be super dissapointed in him. His opponent is doing heavy bio timing attacks that only work when you play greedy early on (something MMA has done forever). He has to be able to adjust his game to his opponent otherwise he won't win a game.
I completely agree. I mean that MMA is playing with a style that has worked for him in this entire tournament. Polt is just finally the player who is punishing him for it.
Its obvious that Polt has done tremendous preparation for this matchup!

I still think Polt is overall the better player than MMA. MMA is better than him at macro, but like MKP did in his first two games against MMA, he didn't let the game get to a stage where they had countless bases to play against.
Polt's micro outclasses MMA, so he's usually the early game to get the early advantage and pin MMA into his base.
i love comments like this. as soon as one player performes well in tourney all of a sudden he is overall better player. you know you are allowed to lose sometimes?
even rodger federer in tennis, brazil in soccer and even usa in basketball loses sometimes.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think MMA has ever lost Dual Sight TvT.

MMA has defeat all over his face.

Polt isn't a bad player. He has great control, however he is so bad at producing scvs constantly, that it really just dont seem fair if he can beat mma. I hope mma just plays a standard safe game in g4, and then he should just be able to outmacro polt.
Dude, he is cutting those intentionally to strengthen his timing pushes. Players of this caliber are able to continually produce workers if they want to...

Well, if MMA wins from here, he will definitely deserve the name Super Saijin Terran
