Kids, this shows us that you can still be a pro-player (and be good at it) even if you are a full time college student.

If polt can do it, maybe foreigners can too. Gives us hope, but then polt is korean.

maybe polt is just extra special.

What a series! My exam prep is hurting but I made sure I caught this series! Particularly the Mutas being blasted by the Widow Mines in the last game.

GGWP Polt back to back WCS NA champion. Good on you!

"Dense ball of mutalisk ball" cracked me up.

This was an epic finals. 4-1 as a score does not even come close to telling the story of the razor's edge both players were walking in every game. Byul had legitimate chances to win every game and either just barely missed the killing blow or Polt made a miraculous defense before counterpunching for the same on Byul's side. A truly great series.

Polt back to back WCS AM champion. Huge achievement ! I hope he'll do well in season finals. Maybe be the first player to win a regional finals and the following season finals.

Terran is the less represented race at the region finals, and no terran were in the final of WCS KR.
Stop your whining.

Congratz to Polt. I stayed awake for the whole thing. Worth it !

I think it was rather just that Byul didn't really have that great lategame while Polt is just a tactical genius. He just kept trading, never really striking gold, but always just trading in his favor until when Byul started making small mistakes he pounced.

Honestly, Zerg players seems a bit lost in the late game in ZvT nowadays.
Hive tech is somewhat in a weird state right now. Viper are hard to use against Bio, Broodlords are too slow against Bio Mines ( tank army were easier to abuse ).
Ultra are good but you need infestors with them and the transition from Muta play to infestor ultra is a lot harder than WoL transition from infestor ling to ultra infestor ling.

Give them time to find a way I guess. They already started to learn how to deal with bio mines with ling muta, and that's why they are heavily sticking with it right now.

Great finals, congrats to Polt!! I watched the first 4 games and they were indeed epic. I managed to catch the entire Byul v Jaedong before and it was very scary how easily Byul dismantled the great Dong.

I think part of Byul's weakness was not bringing more BO's or allins to the bo7 series against Polt, an amazing Terran who can perfect one or two builds beyond belief and ride that structure all throughout a finals. I would love to see a Life v Polt now, two players at the top of their game in a bo7.
