IMO Keen is over-rated and Bomber will win easily if he doesn't screwed up like he did against Keen.


keen is overrated?

No way man, it's the Polt-MMA metagame. All 7 games they've played against each other.
How does it feel knowing you wasted another 3 seconds of your life reading this again?

nope, worse player winning.


you are a perfect example of what i said

not really, MMA is the better overall player. Just how it is.


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.


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.


hmm in this 3rd game they went to 4 base. what's a straight up macro game to you? turtle on your half of the map for half an hour?


I think what they meant was an anonymous battle on ladder, not one which has been prepared for. I personally like prepared battles more and think they demonstrate skill.

So please enlighten us how Polt won game 1 today vs MMA where Polt went Marine heavy.

Polt won game 1.


And by marine heavy you mean where Polt 1/1/1'd him? :D



yeah 1/1/1 transition to barracks/marines.

so, you want to answer my question above? before you do, please read the post the poster who i was replying to.

Okay, hopefully that is the upset of the evening.

An UPSET ? Knowing Polt 4-0d him a month ago ? :/

Looking at liquibet percentages, yeah.

This is not an upset, this just proves 80% of TL users are Americans.

To people saying MMA is the better player after all this, you must be insane (as far as TvT and also TvP)

Their record against each other is now what, 6-1 in favor of polt? lol

And it is no secret that MMA's results vs P are pretty meh, especially compared to Polt'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.

This! From the very beginning Polt seems to make the exact right decision on what style to make. Every single one of those games were build order losses, how does Polt do that?

Bomber creams every Terran, even MVP. Except Byun, but that series was the most confusing shift I've ever seen.

Puma is probably even better than Bomber in TvT.


Based on what? Puma is good no doubt but Bomber has the best TvT in the world.. I wouldn't even say Puma is top5 TvT.



Puma - Polt is 1-0

Puma's only TvT results have been from team leagues lol

Seriously don't know how people can say how Puma is a better TvTer than a person who is 5-2 against MVP recently


Pretty sure Puma got 0-2'ed by TOP in the WCG qualifiers too.

then why is he winning?


Well I believe there are 200+ pages of threads on that point :p


according to them, I'm sure he is winning due to every possible wrong reasons. 200 reasons why he won, but none of them are because he is actually 'good'

Agreed. This is getting tiring. Im a huge MMA fan and I was pretty pissed about 10 minutes ago, but taking a step back and thinking about this makes me realize that Polt seriously outplayed MMA

MMA loves getting his macro up and hitting from tons of different angles to slowly bring his opponent down. Polt knows that and decides to attack early multiple times head on to prevent MMA from getting into his flow. Thats great strategic thinking and it should be respected

It's very easy to watch a series and not think that the guy who won was better than the other person. It happens all the time. Shit happens. MMA made marines, Polt made Hellions. We move on with our lives, or we whine on forums.

COME ON BOMBERKEEN.
