However, the win was magnificent and the finals nail-biting~!


MLG don't like Polt.

Remember his run at MLG Orlando ?
Going 24-3 in the lower bracket or something silly like that. Longest run in lower bracket ever at a MLG

Not a single game on stage.

Overall a nice tournament, but again majorly disappointing results from the foreigners.

Man, I loved this tournament. It was very well done, a lot of great games, awesome casting, very few downtime between the matches.

Best of luck for Assembly in the future.

Polt just took advantage of stupid cliffs for siege tank placements, a map imballance, and went all in with 1 and a half mining bases the last 3 games. I really don't get what all the fuss is about.

I really felt Stephano had so many of the games won, he had a clear advantage, and then he just crumbled to the 3-3 marine tank pushes from 2base. Really disappointing. Anyway, I just saw a terran beat armies with broods, ultras, and infestors, without making a single ghost, so I'm gonna ignore those people whining about snipe now.

On a side note, why do tournaments even have korhal? Don't they usually avoid small, uninteresting maps with a difficult to hold third base? They should.

Really great effort from everyone involved at Assembly.

The Casting quintuplet were excellent; TB and Apollo had great synergy as always while Khaldor and Bitter synced up very quickly. Kaelaris did a very nice job of filling in and providing excellent cover while others needed to take breaks.

Semlar did a very nice job hosting; it can be tough in front of an audience that is at times a bit unresponsive, but he was confident, spoke multiple languages well, connected with the players, usuaully asked good questions, and most importantly of all he was really into everything that was going on.

The tournament ran almost exactly to schedule, there was very little downtime and for the most part a choice of games to watch. Any technical difficulties were resolved very promptly.

Finally I think the majority of the players really delivered some great games, and we got it capped off with some brilliant play in the semis and finals.

Incredibly enjoyable watching, thanks to everyone there <3

So Polt should easily have a seed.

Stephano probably the other, but he would decline, so maybe Ret for his MLG Winter Arena performance? Probably whoever wins that.



Yeah, Polt for sure. Other than that, I say MLG Winter Arena will make a big difference.

No point inviting Stephano, he would decline for sure.

It would still be silly not to offer. You offer it to him, let him decline(which, yes, he probably will) and then you offer it to someone else.

Err, you're complaining about a map that came out of the TL map contest...

And don't talk about the ghost nerf, we didn't see proper zerg deathballs in these games. And let's be fair, Poltimus outplayed Stephano pretty heavily in macro and micro and yet kept on losing his armies to infestor ultra, the composition ghost used to counter.

Enjoy the great nail-biting games!

Awesome tourny! The crowd was kinda bad, but the games were really nice.

I liked the host, better than Carmac for sure. But hosts for these tournaments in general should prepare better if they're doing interviews. You can't just ask every player how they are feeling before every match.

i feel like polt's positioning combined with MASSIVE OVERCOMMITTING to battles and stuff by stephano after he became ahead caused the incredible shift in momentum in those last couple games.

not sure why people are complaining?
No tears now, only dreams.

I don't think the Map is that bad. Yes the third is exposed and maybe it shouldnt be that easy to Siege it but and tbh there's plenty of people like me who enjoy shorter but action packed games over the so called "epic" macro games. Back and forth back and forth thats what i enjoy watching not just the i'll just sit here and try to max out while some minor skirmishes happen the we have to see on so many so called "good" Maps.

I wish GOM could give to Stephano a code S qualif spot (a chance to qualify for code S, not insta code S).

He is the only foreigner to truely deserve it so far.

I have a feeling the depth of tank lines and pre-splits of bio made it difficult for Stephano to read Polt's army strength. He just seemed unable to read the game as well as before when it went further into the series, and was so scared of Polt's army that he made really bad decisions in the final game.

Perhaps that just threw his game off enough for people to think Stephano didn't really bring his A-game.

What an absolutely great final, so close and intense games. Too bad we didn't get all seven of them.

Thanks to ASUS for doing this tournament and job well done to casters and crew (especially TB who was in total boss mode).
The only flaw in all this was the lag that I read that some viewers had. Lag hurts.

..it was perfect for me though. [image loading]
