i dont understand why taeja decided to do such aggressive/coinflip builds,. i think if he played defensively he could have easily go past the early game and kill polt

Why disappointing? Should every final consists of long, complicated macrogames? Why not sometimes a quick 3-0 sweep with smart early pushes?

Polt won game 3 with a hellion. That wasn't smart, more like TaeJa screwed up

It was more a battle of who could better micro in 2 places at once. What Polt and Taeja were doing was insanity, but Polt managed to survive with less damage in each case.

i didnt watch the games but grandfinal and 3maps LR from page 99 to 107 (only 9 pages long) sounds not exciting. I remember we had a tournament some weeks or months ago we had already ~300 pages even before tournament started.

My school year started so I was sleeping.

Watched VODs now. Not the most epic of finals, but definitely an awesome display of skill for Polt to win each time. (Yes, some did feel like Taeja bombing.)

Twitch is so annoying. In the middle of the second game in the grand finals it skips right to the award ceremony spoiling the outcome. Twitch skips all the time for me, am I the only one? Someone should tell twitch. Is there a fix to this?

It's terribly inconsistent for me... I can't even attempt to watch my own vods, but these worked fine.

Polt broke 300k earning with this win. He is the terran MC!


Fun fact. In his first televised match he eliminated MC with a 1-1-1.


Interesting to see if Polt can surpass Mvp's earning. I think he will.

He should have a good shot at it since he plays in a lot of tournaments and Mvp is a rarity these days. As long as Polt just keeps showing up and getting decent placings he'll build up the money count even more and pass him eventually although he has "only" made about $43k this year from tournament earnings and still has a little more than $90k to go to catch Mvp

He still have a lot of tournaments to play in : IEM, WCS, Blizzcon, Redbull. If things go well in Blizzcon then he can even do it this year.

If you watch the complete series, you see a good story (Polt owning Taeja) and good, though rather short, games with smart decision making from Polt's side.

It is true that Taeja messed up a bit, but I didn't perceive his play as failing. It was just that Polt was better this time.
