Classic didn't completely outplay Polt. He gave away a minimum of three Colossi for free in that game during his base defenses, then he let his Archons attack a Factory for thirty seconds during another fight where he lost another Colossus.
Polt did a fantastic job considering how behind he was.

I hoping for San to close it out 3-0 so the next set of matches can begin earlier.

For real ?... i just realised that jjakji and San are old teammates. Maybe the games are weird, because they still practice a lot together? They probably do practice a lot together, still. san practices with the taeja skype group

Casters were wrong, that shouldn't surprise you. Classic was ahead the whole game.
On the plus side, I predicted that in my article, so that was nice :D. When Classic gets an early lead, he just plain wins.

So the lineup so far for the Showmatches (which we're assuming is LOTV Alpha?): Jaedong, Stardust, MC, Polt, Jjakji.

Randomly throwing Snute's name in with these guys is actually hilarious. so random to mention someone who was very close to qualifying through the points system, completely out of left field
Uh he asked who the top dogs were. Snute isn't even close to a "top dog." I don't even believe him to be the best foreigner. There are certainly a few I would put ahead of him.
Sorry, but Snute is way overrated here.

I just realized that 2 former NsHs players are in the finals, while IM, Prime and MVP have no (former) player at the Blizzcon. Weird.
