The teamliquid fanboism here is stronger than any matchups. Polt deserved this victory way more than Taeja today.

The better player always wins. If he loses, then he wasn't better that series.

The better player could have made a small number of unfortunate mistake, as what happened here


Nope Polt didn't make those mistakes and Taeja did.

Disgustingly short games, but I'm very happy for Polt. Well deserved, awesome trophy.

In which case, he wasn't the better player that series.

That was disappointing. Taeja played sooo poorly in the finals. Maybe his wrists were exploding or whatever, but that was just uncharacteristically bad. Oh well, grats to Polt. If Taeja had to come second to anyone I'm glad it's him.

I think that LR loved the novelty of TvT and hated watching it.


No, LR threads love macro TvT games which these games definitely were not.

These games looked like ladder TvTs where both sides just try to kill the other as soon as possible with constant aggression. It's not a real fun style to watch.

Yeah, Polt scores a 8.4/10 on The_Templar's list of likability

Did they actually change anything except banshee build time and hellbats (which weren't used that much)?


the banshee is the core of the problem, it makes it way to hard to reliably FE. hence the 1/1/1 stupidity.

Up until a little while ago, it was banshee vs. banshee every game but then into expand and macro play, which was fine with me. Honestly I think Polt totally outplayed Taeja here, he won the hellion/marine mirror game pretty convincingly and then won with hellion marine vs. banshee and then turned around, went banshee, and smashed Taeja's hellion/marine. Better snap decision making and micro overall.
Taeja the one true Byunjwa~

the banshee is the core of the problem, it makes it way to hard to reliably FE. hence the 1/1/1 stupidity.

The banshee patch was more than a year ago. Before that it was drop hellions vs drop hellions every game. TvTs were still good a few weeks/months ago.
