My predictions MMA < Polt Bomber > Keen Zenio < TOP Not sure for the last one ... agree with your predicitons, plus i hope genius wins because i just never seen Virus do anything worth remembering, in my memory he's hardly code S material. | ||

MMA and Bomber should go through. Really do think polt is slightly overrated while MMA's multitask drops are actually legitimately impressive. I'm hoping Zenio but Ro16 or Ro8 is where he should exit. Top would receive more sympathy if he wasn't a dime a dozen. | ||

He did indeed, but it's his MLG win, which gave him unmerited acknowledgement as best Terran in the world from NA/Canada players. I simply can't see him being a superior player to IMMVP and ST_Bomber. MMA is looking amazing in TvZ, and Polt in TvP. They both are great in TvT, but I give the edge for Polt, because he will have a mental advantage in the series. | ||

They both are great in TvT, but I give the edge for Polt, because he will have a mental advantage in the series. They're both great, though I think Polt gains more from preparation than MMA. I've said it before, but Polt reminds me of Thorzain. When given time to prepare, he'll crush you with strong timings and builds. MMA is just overall very solid - near unbeatable in TvZ and on par with Polt in TvT - which is what makes him such a good ace for SlayerS. Meanwhile, Polt is amazing at TvP (definitely on the level of Bomber), but lately being good at TvP isn't really a claim to fame seeing as how any Terran who can execute the 1/1/1 is good at TvP nowadays. As for fans, I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that MMA has had more exposure. Also, his style is flashy. It's fun to watch. Polt's is ... not flashy. That doesn't mean he's bad; he's just not interesting to watch for a lot of people. It's kind of like how people call MVP boring as hell to watch even though he's a beast. Anyways, I haven't seen anyone calling MMA the best Terran in the world - as you mentioned, I think that title belongs to MVP, personally, and maybe Bomber when he's not choking - so I don't think MMA is overrated. Polt's definitely underrated though. I just hope to see some good matches. | ||

At least he can claim that he is the person who invented that build (Polt's timing attack)  | ||

Polt is still underrated by many people. Remember what happened last time you guys said mma would 4-0 polt? Hmmm. MMA is the overrated one. I predict 2-1 polt. Oh. Here's a definition of overrated. Someone who everyone thinks is gonna win but ends up getting crushed. Sound like someone we know? | ||

MVP for GSTL, first place and 2nd place at MLG, 2nd place super tourney, taking out nestea in a one sided match. | ||
