very disappointing. huge fan of MMA, thought he was going to prove himself to be the best Terran player in the world but then he loses to Polt. I didnt watch the games so I dont know how well Polt played, but being 4-0d by someone who isnt even being generally considered as a candidate for "best Terran player" is kind of sad to me

We can see that Polt worked a lot for this match. He had new build orders, a really good unit control.
He mindgame'd MMA in a lot of point, preventing his drops, had a very good unit control against tanks.
MMA on the other hand, i think that he was too confident with his macro/micro management, and worked nothing new to outplay Polt. Even if he's a better player, he was not prepared enough for this match particulary.

Honestly, the entrances foreshadowed this. The balloon fell on MMA and he had to fight his way out. Polt just crossed his arms like a boss.



Not just that. The music alone made me think Polt was the frontrunner.

What the heck happened? I didn't watch the finals but I was rooting for MMA but it turned out that it was 4-0 Polt.

Polt showed us that he can prepare builds to snipe players like MMA.
While he is amazing in that sense, saying that he is the best terran in the world right now is an overstatement.

MMA wasn't ready for Polt's MKP-like anti-tank-splash micro. He got behind early in all 4 games, and had sloppy air unit control. Polt just found an early game weakness for MMA's favorite builds and exploited it, and MMA wasn't able to adapt enough. Game 4 was a decent try involving ghosts, but that failed too. I honestly wasn't disappointed by Polt's play though. It's not like he was an overachiever like Rain, he played great and displayed great micro and strategies.

I'm taking it you haven't seen any of his games before the Super Tournament? 42-13 since he fell into the Season 2 Up-Down matches. The best players win consistently (that's the only criteria you can use to judge the overall skill of players), and Polt is winning games consistently. Saying #1 in the world is debatable but he is undoubtedly one of the best right now and has been for some time.

Ok dude, making very few mistakes + executing b/os extremely well as well as extremely good decision making, macro, and micro DOES make him one of the top elite terrans if not the top.

Also check out his previous games. His record is amazing and he is one of the most solid players there are.

Polt was better than MMA because he had better practice partners: MKP and MVP (I saw a comment stating they were sitting next to each other, plus MKP and MVP are friends). MMA practices against Code A terrans.
What I see here is blind fanboyism for MMA. Polt won four games out of four games because he is simply better. Heck, I didn't think Polt would win and I betted that MMA would win. But I'm not going to stick to this outdated notion that MMA>Polt.

Lots of butthurt MMA fans trying to make excuses, like polt only won cause of practice partnners, or was lucky or blablabla.
Fact is Polt > MMA, keep on crying.

Well, to be fair, having better practice partners will make you better. I'm not saying that's the only reason Polt won but it certainly wouldn't hurt his chances.

Whatever the reasons are for him winning, I've got to admit that he's better than I gave him credit for and people will need to be careful of this guy if he continues to play the way he is. My opinion of him has definitely changed after this tournament.

What do you mean, "only won cause of practice partners"? Practice is what makes you good.

great counter argument and analysis to "butthurt MMA" fans by giving us "facts".

*sigh*

Well played Polt. This was your day. MMA will be back, SlayerS FIGHTING!

These games were disappointing for me but mostly because I wanted MMA to win.

Polt played well but I don't think his play was exceptional. I think he got very lucky several times catching MMA out of position. MMA was off his game and got further and further off it as the games went on which just made it worse.
When you're ahead, get further ahead.
