What about the prior games where he did scout and still lost to cheese? Plus I can see why he didn't bother scv scouting on frost. Protoss likely has units by the time the scv reaches his base if you find his base last. No excuse for not scanning though.

You play to win, you play out your own strenghts, and if possible into the opponents weaknesses.
It's only ok to cheese/all-in if you're a player that people like. 
ah right, fanboyism, I forgot about that little factoid.
I just wanna see fun games with a wonky strat, and some upsets now and then. :D

Don't worry. We're countering that threat with a zombie apocalypse and then counter that threat with a massive natural disaster and then counter that with a meteor that will hit earth and then counter that with 30 oil drillers and 1 astronaut.

I like longer games as well, all ins are pretty black/white in who wins or loses usually. And a series of 5 all ins is boring to watch... It's usually waitwaitwait ah he's gonna win wait wait he won ezpz thanks for those 15 minuts.
If there's one thing I'll concede, it's that more cheesy games should turn out like Mvp vs Squirtle on Atlantis Spaceship.

Scan the main at the right time even though three of the gates could've just as easily been in the natural. Or the twilight could have been in the natural. I'm just saying it wasn't all because of no scouting

Thing with Polt is that he has a different approach to StarCraft in general. He's so into tactic, thinking through games, not especially relying on builds but on forcing the opponent to play his game. That's kind of great vs. a cheesy player, because you cannot surprise Polt easily since his scouting patterns and understanding of the smallest factors are just tight. Bomber appears to be a reactive player, and if you show the wrong reaction or are simply too late, you die.

The main issue here is that I am now sub 50% on predictions so far.

It took him 6 games to set that up.

actually P defends every all in without scouting by playing safe in pvt.

These games are all irrelevant anyways. Polt is going to win WCS AM regardless of who makes the finals

Polar Night he died because he played too defensive Yeonsu pylon held, misplay by Alicia Frost no scout Forgot the last game already xD
Ah, Heavy Rain, in which he scouted the all in and won?
pattern?

Bomber didn't scout. I like him, but that was the mistake that cost him the game.
Oh come on. It comes down to protoss deciding to do a build order because he knows it is 12 repaer expand or maybe cc 1st on big 4 player maps 99% of the time and the rest is up to the terran. If you manage to scout you have a chance of winning, if you don't you straight up lose. Protoss has little to worry about.
Early game should be neutral not favored for any race because it sets the pace for the rest of the game. And the early game TvP is just very unforgiving for terran, reducing the problem just to scouting when you are watching pro level players is such a dumb argument.
Even if Bomber went for a 12/12 reaper expo to have better scouting he would still behind against a player who went for a nexus 1st build. 12/12 is not really economical build, especially compared to nexus 1st.....
Yes, you can get a better or worse end of a build order in any matchup but TvP is specific because terran is forced to go into 12/12 basically every game, you don't have much choice about it.
