Hmm, I think Polt will be the favorite here because of his strong tvp (and hero's weak pvt), but I don't think it'll be super one-sided. Hero usually plays better at non-live events because of his nerve issues.

I hesitate to say 4-0 Polt because as much as Polt has improved over the last six months, he's in a transitional stage regarding TvP. It would be well-advised for Hero to not do early-game pressure but play a passive macro game.

Polts TvP is just too good i think he will take it.

Hero has really been struggling ever since the Blizzard Cup. Polt is going to win.

Hero's got this! Actually maybe not but he's definitely got a chance. He might get crushed as Polt is a bit of a beast, but Hero's macro PvT is actually pretty damn good if he can get there, pretty underrated. Plus Hero is playing from home, where he looks a lot better.

Hero should win this. After watching Polt's stream and i can't wonder how he has made it as far as he has in gsls. His mechanics are really subpar for a korean.

You know Welmu is on Empire right? =p

Polt should dominate, but TvP is iffy for a lot of people lately so who knows, he might get upset.

I like Hero, but past results cause me to fully expect Polt to dominate this. I'm okay with being proven wrong, though.

Maybe he's in GSL because his mechanics are actually top-tier.

HEROOOOOOOOOOOO

But admittedly Polt feels more consistent and I would consider him the favorite to win this. Would like HerO to prove me wrong, but it'll be hard.

Polt's mechanics always struck me as extremely solid, but never his stand-out factor. His stand-out factor has got to be his insane sense of timing. He always hits when his opponent is most vulnerable and just makes it look silly.
