lol I love this foreigner bias for MMA after MLG columbus.

No MMA is not a better overall player, Polt knows how to study and play against specific opponents.


MMA is a better overall player.

I had always wondered what it would look like if Marine Tank engaged Mech. Now I know why the Koreans started using it all the time, it really is the superior composition.

Sucks for MMA, but great for Polt, maybe now that guy is going to get some credit.

Bomber better wipe that smirk of Polt's face.
And MMA needs to be smacked for going mass marine after scouting mech

does that really matter? has polt ever actually lost to mma in tvt. I mean compared to his tvz, his tvt isnt that good...


i wouldn't say that polt is 'good' at tvt is my point

Argh MMA

But it is clear that Polt played better in the last game. I am sure that MMA knows how to counter Mech. But maybe nerves got him

Polt seemed to have a much better grasp of the matchup in all three games. He just has incredibly sloppy execution. it hurts too watch. But he still deserved to win this one in my opinion.

4-0

2-1

Yep...

Of course it doesn't count, he didn't win an MLG !!! We all know this is where things matter, GSL Super Tournament is just some side tourney in a random asian country.


so so true when it comes to coloring TL opinions lol

Polt has won the MOST prestigious SC2 tournament in its history

yet he goes almost zero respect

it makes me really sad
do you have enough resolve, hero of justice?

I'd say he's pretty good.

No doubt. I just can't get myself to like him or his style of play. That, and MMA seems to self-destruct when he's up against polt.

Now that this is over, I wish everyone would go back and read the posts in the liquibet thread.

Give Polt the credit he deserves. He wins because he's better. He has better timing, he has better reactions, he has better multitasking, and he has great mindgames as evidenced by this last game. His 4-0 win against MMA wasn't a fluke, and, as a reminder, it was kinda in the finals of a gigantic tournament with the best players around.

Haters probably gonna hate some more, but at least give him some credit for winning. Stop saying it's MMA who played badly therefore lost, or making up some excuses. Polt played better, he won. As usual. Period.



I agree with everything you said except that MMA has better multitasking. I think MMA could be the better player with better timing and execution but Polt's strats are always outsmarting MMA's.

Polt beats MMA with build orders again. Eugh. MMA tries to out-metagame him and loses.

I guess credit goes to Polt for being the best metagamer around. Shame he's not actually anything special in game.

Polt might have outplayed MMA but that doesn't increase my opinion of Polt it just lowers my opinion of MMA.
