Honestly, what decent terran worth mentioning doesn't have a strong winning record vP? His mechanics are subpar so just on that note I doubt he TvP is thebest. | ||

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? It's probably because he didn't go to the USA to beat up some foreigners yet. | ||

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 agree with everything you said except for the first statement. IMO MMA has better TvZ, while Polt has better TvP and they both have relatively even TvT I think. | ||

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. You seem to contradict yourself | ||

Is that what winning is not about ? you sound like Idra right now, if he does not macro he sucks, this game is more then Macro 200 vs 200. | ||

Too many people think "macro games" are what really define skill. If someone is better than you at macro, you beat him before he gets to that point. Its not a linear game, people are allowed to rush before the 10 minute mark | ||

It's so frustrating to watch MMA play sometimes. Now I dont even think if he's as good as his teammate Ryung. | ||
