Fuck everything, I'll go drink some battery acid now or something.


Lol. JD is so terrible with his consistent top 4 finishes. He never learns how to play decently. Must be hard to be butthurt all the time.

It's his biggest weakness by far, it's what costs more games than anything. But I guess it's easier to just spout some snarky bullshit than to have an actual point, so it's all good.


Okay so drink some battery acid then if you must, i was just pointing out that you acted overdramatic to JDs loss and criticized him heavily, although he's constantly performing at the very very top.

Why the hell are so many people negative? Yes people don't like allins, I can understand. People don't like their favorite losing, I get that. But who the hell can say that this series wasn't nailbiting and exciting till the end? Seriously what is wrong with you. Today we got some of the best Starcraft out there and we should all be happy that IEM hits over 80000 viewers.

Please make the scene a bit more enjoyable for yourself.

4-1 Polt!


I think Hero might cheese him out in 1-2 games...but lets hope it'll be 4-0 polt;)

4-0 is not unlikely, Rain is imo the better player and he beat him.


HerO's cheesebook is way better than Rain who is strongest in standard play.
This could get close but I really want Polt to win because I am super annoyed at HerO and protoss in general.

Even as a terran that game was so annoying to watch. Yes JD had a bad trade at HerO's natural but HerO failed 1st zealot attack, he failed 1st immortal push, in the end it was even 3 base zerg vs. 1 base protoss (until JD's third died) and he still wins because that map + forcefields = immortals with 60 kills.


1. He "failed" the first zealot attack but they traded minerals for minerals so it didn't do too much honestly.
2. He "failed" the first immortal push but once again huge trades and he kept his immortals alive
3. You don't get 60 kills on an immortal without SICK micro with the warp prism. Deserved.


But he was massively behind in eco for the most game. I am not saying he didn't have great micro but there is a limit to what other two races can do with micro when they are so behind on macro. The combination of that map and FF is way to cost efficient. With that amount of sentries zerg will never get stronger units that could shut down a push like that. You just keep having bad trades until you have nothing left.

I just feel bad for JD for losing like this. He didn't play a perfect game but he should be able to throw some units away since he was ahead on economy.

Damn, I just have to close the stream and suddenly my favorite players start winning. It was the case with Polt and now with HerO. I only ever see them lose live.

You should be happy if Polt revolutionizes the metagame. Everyone else can try to study him. He thinks so you don't have to.

I'll never understand this devotion that people bring over for JD from BW days.
Lets list all the tournaments JD has won shall we.

Asus ROG
Numericable M-House Cup
HyperX 10 year anniversary.

Its pretty lol worthy to compare him to HerO.

WCS NA S1
NASL S4
DH Winter
DH Winter
IPL Fight club
MLG Summer quals
IPL Season 3 qual 1.
FXOpen Invite

Not to mention that HerO actually plays in PL and Jaedong plays in .. well nothing really. Not even GSTL.




So basically getting 5 silvers in a row last year means he's worse then hero?
