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.  Better multitasking? MMA's harass-heavy style seems a lot more reliant on multitasking than Polt's, whose style is more about getting way ahead early through builds/superior compositions, and rolling over his opponent later. I wouldn't have a problem with your statement had you not included the "better multitasking" part of it. | ||

Thats what I dont like about Polt, he prepares 'sniping' builds, I dont feel like he could beat MMA, who I believe is a better player, in a straight up macro game. Got lucky in the last set, no way he could've known MMA was gonna suddenly switch to Marine-Tank but it worked out pretty well for him. | ||

Pretty much every game Polt has won vs MMA is either due to an early timing attack or build order win. That isn't to say Polt doesn't deserve his wins, as decision making and knowledge of timings are all important attributes that make a great player. I agree with this one. Well deserved game won, no matter who is better or not they are just totaly different with there playstyle. | ||

But game one of the series has been won through simultaneous control of units in both player's bases... ugh, please, no, give him the credit already  | ||
