Why the fuck are 80% of the posts in the last 9000 pages hating on Polt? The guy is a damn good player and he deserved his win today. Just because MMA is a fan favorite (Yes, I was cheering for him) doesn't take anything away from Polt's victory. Grow up, because both players played well.

you are a perfect example of what i said

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


Don't worry. This is just TL's views, not counting the Koreans. This just shows the difference in understanding the game and people's appreciation for whomever is a top player between foreigners and Koreans. This is why Koreans are always on top.

Put more words in my mouth bro. The guy said Polt went marine heavy. He didn't. He went 1/1/1 timing. Marines involved? Yes, but hardly marine heavy considering how important banshees, raven, and tanks are in it.

Definition time for TL:

BO loss: My favorite player lost
Good at timing attacks: He sucks at "real" games that require "real-time" strategy

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

I 100% feel exactly like what this post says.

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 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.


I would go even farther and say in tvt

Polt has greater early to early-mid game while mma had greater late-mid to late game. Game 1 and 3 polt was able to shut mma down in time and won while in game 2 mma was able to drag the game out and was able to get the win. And polt just seems to have MMA number, not letting him get to the point where he can drop and just own him. If they meet in later turnys if mma can hold he can win, just has to play super safe i guess.

Koreans also underestimate Polt FYI. Just not as much.

Keen is getting a lot of flak from Tastosis from his group stage performance but he actually plays decent since his debut in Code A.

All I can say about Polt is you don't win a GSL supertournament by being mediocre. The list of players he beat was pretty legit.
