It looks to me only in TvZ . Polt has better TvT and TvP .

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.



What? I hope you're joking about better multitasking. His builds are good, control is great, but multitasking?

Polt's record against some notable players


MMA = Polt is 6-1

MC = Polt is 5-0


It's really shocking at how underrated Polt is here in TL forum.

MMA is the better player overall, however in Polt vs MMA, Polt is MMA's kryptonite.

People saying Polt has better multitasking than MMA is just false, go watch MMA's game against NesTea in the group stages.

Polt didn't win Game 3, MMA lost it.

MMA scouted the mass hellion, and still pumped Marines EVEN FROM HIS BARRACKS WITH A TECH LAB.

This series hardly featured great play from Polt, what it did feature was average play from Polt, and supremely uncharacteristically bad play from MMA.

Polt got the win he deserved in this series, but it was more from MMA not playing well than it was from Polt playing well.

EDIT: Before I get crucified for being another Polt-hater, he's clearly a very good player. I respect Polt very highly, more highly than a lot of Code S/Code A players, however this was NOT a great series by Polt, it was an average series from a good player, against a terrible series from a good player. Polt 100% deserved the win he got today.

I think everyone hates Polt just because he destroyed MC during his popular phase.
How does it feel knowing you wasted another 3 seconds of your life reading this again?

He did end up winning both those game though.

Everyone saying that MMA is the better player is wrong. He doesnt have the results nor has beaten Polt yet. I love MMA and i feel like he is the only one besides MVP that can beat Nestea. But cmon losing to Polt twice now 0.0

For me, it's more or less that Polt has MMA's number, regardless of who's better.

Polt never really amazes me with his play, and admittedly, I'm a big fan of MMA, but I just don't believe that Polt is the undisputed better player overall, just in that matchup.

Polt knows exactly how to play against MMA. His unit comp might have changed within this series, but it was all about striking at MMA before he gets his real macro game going. MMA is great at multi tasking and harassing his opponent to death from multiple angles. Polt just plowed head first into him with medium sized armies before MMA could get his strategy rolling.

Great play by Polt, coming from a SlayerS and MMA fan

Seriously, I ask again. Why do people think Polt is so bad? Ever since around the time he stopped school he's turned up his play immensely. People citing his TvT record should know it was like under 50% before his Super Tournament run. Ever since then he's shown some great TvT games.

And it's not like MMA's TvT is bad, he made it to the ST finals purely off of TvT and beat IMHappy, a great TvT player, pretty convincingly.

So why do people hate Polt?

in that last game the only difference between the two of them was strategy. Going marines against siege tank hellion isnt going to go well. Polt let MMA stay in that way too long and lost that orbital and other stuff when he shouldnt have


yes, and strategy is clearly not the most important facet in a real-time strategy game.

wow, can people just own up and say it like it is--polt owned mma face
