Not sure who to root for really. I guess Violet. I like Leenock's style but I haven't really engaged with Polt or Bomber's personalities whereas I have for Violet's. He's probably the underdog out of these four though.

Leenock vs Polt with Leenock clinching it seems likely.

Polt > Bomber
Leenock > Violet
Polt > Violet
Leenock > Polt.

Wow...that would be amazingly unfortunate timing D=

Hoping for Leenockvember also! But I will be ok with any of the remaining 4 winning actually. Fan of Polt, and have liked Violet and Bomber at times in their careers also. So win win win win =D

Looks like I missed a Bomber killing spree today. The question is when will he suddenly burn out and look horrible like everyone knows will happen? Would be nice if it didn't happen at all though. =P

Really hoping for either Bomber or Polt to make it through to the grand finals.

GOM and IPL have put on a great show this weekend, but viewers have been low because of all the Zerg

BOMBER! You always seem to disappoint early on, but then inspire for a while. I hope you can keep hope alive tomorrow!

I don't mean this offensively, i'm just curious. Why does everyone like Bomber so much? What's his appeal?

Because he does really well.. And then disappoints you. So you cheer harder for him next time. Its like watching a kitten chasing his own tail and then bite it. You are proud he got it, and you feel sorry at the same time.

Hmm.. bomber has stronger mechanics/macro but polt takes better engagements and positions better. I think the TvT can go either way, since it's TvT. Leenock and violet have very similar TvZ styles, pretty aggressive with lots of counters. Polt's been shut down hard by this kind of play in the past and even at IPL5, and although Bomber used to be super weak to it due to how greedy he used to play, it seems like his multitasking has improved and he might be able to handle it now. It would make me so happy if either won, but in all honesty, it's probably going to be leenock ;;

Hoping for anyone but Leenock to be the champion.

Other people need to win a championship this year, too.

MLG Arenas don't count.

Well personally I've liked Bomber since he beat Mvp in the Code A finals last year, he's just been around forever and is such a great player, given us many great series'.

Also, he has the cute " are you ready for bombing? " meme
