I remember we had a tournament some weeks or months ago we had already ~300 pages even before tournament started. | ||

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 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. | ||

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 | ||

If things go well in Blizzcon then he can even do it this year. | ||

That wasn't smart, more like TaeJa screwed up 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. | ||
