MKP doesnt think so..gg

Why are people still misinformed over this? That rule wasn't put into place for MLG Columbus.

So what happend? MMA chokes, Polt playes rush/offensive terran and MMA loses all 4 games rather than Polt winning them.
We get a boring finals, people polarize and care either way but truth be told a 4-0 finals is never a good or a fun thing, I don't care if Polt outplayed MMA... MMA played like shit and there was no contest, thus it was boring to see.
meh... it sounded like MMA didn't really prepare in the interview... a real shame
For whatever reason he played 1000% less of what he has been performing at other times.
A real shame.

meh... What? MMA was the one who rushed Polt in Game 4 and got completely smacked down.
He rushed, but he did a semi-allin, no turrets etc. reveals to us that he didn't plan for what could kill his build; If cloak banshees had come, he'd died instantly. They didnt have cloak, he survives abit longer. He lost the game by simply having nothing when Polt attacked with 1 tank, 1 maurader and 5 marines. A godamn bunker would've saved the gold.

A) This is such a silly statement. As if charisma/likability is something abstract that can be judged and is the same for everybody. Both have their fans, and just because you like one more than the other does not make it a universal rule. There's people who think MC is obnoxious and arrogant, others call him a boss and love how confident (or arrogant) he can be.
B) I thought MKP choked as well vs MMA, but there's still pages of people saying how awesome those games are. For the most part people seem to judge excitement only partially based on how close the games actually were. Often a more important factor seems to be that the one they root for wins.

Called it. Polt is the Thorzain of this tournament.

The 50th I went to the 53rd and all I did literally was play WoW for 3 years so it's not as hard as it sounds (the school part). The GSL champion while at school is a cool but pretty dull story. And yeah, it's MMAs fault. But again, doesn't make for an exciting final.
Trying to explain why people are reacting the way they are.

There is a reason why Polt is 2nd in Korea in ELO, has the a +30 wins margin in the past few months and actually in Code S. MMA is a great player, but I think he was built up too much from his MLG Columbus victory. I think the better player won.
Uh.. most of MMA's real fans knew that he had holes in his game, shown time and time again as he always falls behind/loses early on. The fact that you even listened to bandwagoners makes me laugh.

Polt is more intelligent looking. Intelligence wins money, girls, and power, while beauty is only subjective.

Seriously, MMA fans took over Huk fans as most annoying and delusional. I call it the MLG champion effect.

It has more to do with him pretty much single handedly winning SlayerS 2 GSTL's than the MLG win.
Team Leagues are not individual leagues, and MLG was a competition between 5 Koreans. If Polt or NesTea or Mvp or anyone else were to have actually played in it who's to say that they wouldn't have won it? You can't hold an international event as an accomplishment in the Korean scene seeing as there were only 4 other Koreans there. That's why we have seperate TLPD sections. At MLG MMA beat Losira and July. That's it.

not just more intelligent looking. he has sharper features such as jawline, cheeks, and eyebrows. he's very handsome and i didn't notice it until he was drenched in champagne.

i knew mma would lose that last game. if you look at his face during the start his eyes were wandering around, as opposed to settled down and focused.

Polt graduated Seoul University several months ago.
Does anyone know what he studied though? I've been trying to find that out for a while

MMA would win in a fight, but Polt could spend 70,000,000 KRW more on people to fight with him than MMA.
