I expected more from Polt in game three, but he made bad mistakes and his build became unoptimized against Ryung's. Still, good series from both players.

Was about to rag on Polt for not having a turret or two in that spot, but in that situation I'm not sure even a few turrets would have stopped the tanks from unloading, Polt was just too far away from his main base when Ryung loaded up...but maybe Ryung would have hesitated

Never bet against a TvT specialist in a group full of terrans.

It's a lose/lose/lose situation for aLive if the Ro8 is decided the same way as GSL... Win this series, face Revival... Win against Polt, face HerO... Fall out of the group, probably face DeMusliM or TaeJa in the Challenger league because MLG events don't come without EG(-TL) team kills... Unless Illusion or XY upset TaeJa or DeMusliM respectively in the Challenger League round 2...

A little off topic, but shouldn't they play this group round robin since one player dropped out? Assuming all players have equal skill (50% chance to beat each other), the player that gets the walkover has a 75% chance to finish in the top 2, and a 50% chance to finish first out of the three players.
