Congrat to Polt. Stephano is clearly Top 3 foreigner ( with Sen and naniwa on par) on at least on the level of a decent Korean. Polt outsmarted him and he deserves to win. Hope Stephano learns from it and get even better :D

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.


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!


Didnt you see the lucky vs POlt ganmes? Yeah I reckon you aint using your brain too much lately... Its just now, you cant go uuber mech into mass ghost, you need a mobile army to wreck a deathball.


You're insulting his brain usage and then you state mech was standard in TvZ. Eh?

Polt way outplayed Stephano, Stephano just made a lot mistakes in that series

Polt such a god. Nice tournament, wasted my whole day just to watch. The only disappointment was the laggy stream and that I had to watch the final with French language.
after 2 years i reached it = marine icon

You cant put Sen up there on recent results. He has done nothing to deserve it at all.

Huk would probably deserve the nod.

haha yes, HuK made it to round 2 of GSL....say wat?

and yes the top X foreigners constantly changes due to results...

in consistency the top 3 would be Stephano, Thorzain, Mana

not in that order but basically...

GRATS TO POLT WOOT WOOT

Sen was the only foreigner this GSL Season that looked like he was even close to even Code A caliber.

Stop talking about balance, Polt is just much better than Stephano at everything starcraft related, just like Stephano is better than Puma, at least in ZvT.
I like the part where sense is considered a common, settled thing.

So you dont have GSL in your country? Sen is the only one that looked decent...

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.


Actually you have to consider how things have changed and how players have changed. You're wrong that "he is the only foreigner to truly deserve it so far" given that when Idra, Jinro, and Huk were doing really well in the GSL, they definitely deserved it. (not talking about Idra's second half-assed GSL run, talking about all the way back to the beginning of the GSL)

Stephano still playing too greedy. At least in the games I saw, he built up way too many bases that he couldn't defend. Still gotta adapt to Korean aggression.

Finally someone is making some sense here. Stephano has been figured out by the Koreans. It goes without saying that Puma let him walk all over him because he thought it would be funny to lose so badly to Stephano (given the absurdity of a victory by Stephano over a Korean Terran) and Polt was only playing with Stephano in game 1 and the games on Shakuras, Metalopolis and Korhal where he let Stephano almost break him several times. Polt was actually only trying to make the games more interesting for the viewing audience. You're right. Stephano's winning days are coming to an end! His gimmicky play has once and for all been figured out. Take that Stephano fan boys!


To be is to be the value of a bound variable.

He chose not to defend them most of the time because he wanted a better engagement.

Polt showed how high korean terran standard is. TvZ is not even his best MU.

Meh, It was clear Stephano left Korea because he couldnt handle Korean terrans and Europe/NA is where the easy money is. Since he just wants to make money for school or whatever he'll continue avoiding Korean heavy tournaments and continue to rake up cash but in a year he will be done and gone.

Yes clearly, Puma is a terrible player getting 3-0 and Polt is God of starcraft for beating Stephano. All is clear now, Stephano is a gimmicky player he is figured out, no way he is good. The finals were so one sided it makes GSL finals look exciting, the amount of sarcasm in this post is incredible !

Puma isnt a terrible player but there is a reason he doesnt play in the GSL/Korea.

Congrats to Stephano, I wasn't able to watch the finals however he completely roflstomped Puma so elagantly and from the coverage reports gave Polt a good challenge as well.

Congrats to Polt! He had a fair week past month or so with his illness however he bounces back in superb fashion to show that he still has it a top-tier terran
