Yeah but do you think he really believes he can't possibly lose to Polt under normal circumstances?

I'm thinking more in the context of him mentally pumping himself up for the next games.

I really think he just meant "ahahah I'm so dumb that's epic" :D I respect this in a person, I can do that maybe 5% of the time when I bust in poker.

I wonder if the two finalists are allowed to agree beforehand that the loser gets some money. Like, say $5k or something for loser. So second place gets SOMETHING at least. that way whoever loses isn't a complete loser or seomething

Didn't see polt's last IEM? His counter attacks proved to be very good vs blink "all-ins" in the past.

Being on the map at this time is the right thing to do...

How though? I know you are much more knowledgeable about the game than me I am legitimately asking not looking for an argument.

It's Yeonsu you can't really blame herO for going blink, especially since he won with it in game 1.

You'll find I'm pretty good at assigning blame.

If daybreak was the zerg map, then yeonsu is surely the protoss map

I think the top four here actually avoided most of the more emotional players haha.


True, they all seem pretty chill players (Taeja excepting, maybe?). They look like they enjoy just playing first and foremost.


with $100k on the line i think they're all just nervous as FUCK


You know, I had actually forgotten about that? Haha.

Yeah but he will again find himself behind on upgrades because protoss can transition out of blink into so many stuff - DT, colossus, storm, double forge, fast third or just add a ton of gates if defenses are weak for terran.

Protoss doesn't have enough Stalkers to secure a proxy pylon before a certain time.
