Indeed, how can you say MMA has charisma while Polt does not, when we clearly see that Polt was smiling more and more talkative in the interviews right before the match? I want to give credit where credit is due. Polt is amazing. If anything, I think the reverse. MMA is more stoic and I don't see much charisma in him. Still, he got second place, so he is definitely a good player as well. | ||

I'm a huge MMA fan and I was cheering him on when his name was still Jjob. I still think he needs a few more months and a decisive Code A tournament before he gets the super hype job. Hopefully in Code A July, he destroys everyone and wins the championship there. | ||

Seriously, imagine these two players had no character behind them, and we're analysing purely on the games, half of these people going "OMG SUCH GOOD GAMES underdog won!!" would be complaining how boring it is. Note that i didn't say "OMG GREAT GAMES" and i seriously don't care about Polt. What i care about is simply people giving credit when it's due or when X simply plays better than Y on a particular day. | ||

There really is no such thing as a game that is won on purely mechanics and ability alone. There is always pressure and mettle and determination involved. And if the player can't take it then he tilts. And that is why MVP and Nestea are great. Very clutch. Very stable. I'm not saying people should take character out when watching these games. You're reading it wrong. I was merely replying to the comment saying how MMA fanboys are biased in saying these are bad games. When in actuallity, these ARE bad games no matter how you look at it. I just went on to imply that of course any game would be good if the player you're cheering for is winning, no doubt. | ||

See Bisu, see Jaedong, see pretty much every successful player in BW. B) People want epic games. MMA choked and Polt didn't. Doesn't take anything away from Polt but it's not exactly exciting. A. I like the story about a student in SNU winning GSL better. And his smack talk is even better B. The point is Polt makes him choke. I love that aspect. Thats how dominant players do all the time. oov did it, Flash did it. We all love their finals | ||

I thought at first that Polt would win by a slim margin, but after rewatching Polt v TOP I thought MMA would win. Polt looked shaky at times there. Polt showed zero nerves today. I hope he keeps this up. | ||
