I'm worried about Polt. He's been getting stomped a lot lately. He was so incredible at IEM Cologne which was just some months ago I don't consider multiple 2nd place finishes getting stomped, in fact I'd consider that still being a top tier player None of the finals he's been in were close and he was favored in all of them. And 0-3 in ro8 WCS. He's been getting stomped  Was he favored against Trap? I don't believe so I would have said so going into it. Trap struggled all throughout MLG except against Polt for some odd reason. True Trap didn't perform super well in pools, but it seemed like he was improving as the event went on.
He had trouble on day 3 too.
2-1 all the way to the finals and many of the games were close. Then suddenly he 4-0wns Polt. xD

Is that what this tournament was supposed to be about? A Terran fighting the odds against racial balance to beat players at the top tier level of game play and show the world that Terran can do it?
It just feels shoehorned and contrived to me.

I find it funny that the mods banned anyone who mentioned Avilo in the stream chat. Kinda immature if you ask me.

TvT finals, say game is balanced... right? Question 2: how many korean Protoss participated in this tournament?

Idk in that finals series it just seemed like Trap's style was very well suited to deal with Polt's

Great day. Argentina loses the finals. Marc Marquez gets his 9/9 first positions and Bomber wins.

I'm pretty sure this tournament was supposed to be a gift from god(red bull) to polt, bomber and violet.

also i'm really surprised scarlett didn't come to this, she could have won.

If It's in featured news it's an official article endorsed by the website, I didn't say they wrote it, I said they ran it.

I thought so too. Here's your check guys! Thanks for existing!

There was hardly any protoss in this redbull and a Terran wins vs lesser Koreans and foreigner and the protoss on TL are getting at angery for dwarf writing that article reallly? Almost no one went to this Red bull, It was a good tourney and was cool to see foreigners make it far, but it hardly proves Terran is "ok". IEM is where all top end Koreans will be attending.

I think Day9 just jumped at the chance to say "See? Terran ISN'T weak!" But honestly, what non-Terran really threatened Polt or Bomber in this tournament besides Violet? Nobody was even close, there wasn't even a "faceless korean protoss/zerg" as some people might call them. The only dark horse that was around was probably ToodMing.

In the countdowns to the matches, for the last couple minutes there was a song playing with a simple guitar riff and some strings(violin maybe?), does anyone know what song that was?

sure he can complain about whatever he wants, I would have said it regardless of who posted it. him being staff has nothing to do with it. It's silly to complain about the casters following the narrative that the largest starcraft 2 hub has put out for everyone to see.

You still haven't shown why it's silly. Considering the player strength in this particular tournament, it's not even an honest narrative.
