Was so happy to see my favourite player (HerO) play on such high level.

Whole tournament was super awesome =))
Congrats to every single player on great tournament but specially to: JaeDong, Polt, Rain, Jjakji and ofc HerO!

Was so happy when HerO beat JaeDong in semi-finals but so sad for JaeDong. His face expression showed how sad he was and his fingers dropped from 400apm to 0.

Anyway guys - keep playing this awesome game and show us much much more awesome games!

maybe I am a n00b, but HerO dropped several times with a warp prism. Why did Polt not use a sensor tower to detect those slow vehicles. 100/100 for a mmm terran in minute 13+ is not an investment compared to what you can lose - or what he did lose: Hero dropped 2 HighTempler that killed 5-8 workers with storms. So this or warping in 4-6 zealots are worth a sensor tower at least on one side.

First tournament where I genuinely enjoyed watching PvT. A lot of intense games.
Parting: Well, even I can make better maps than these.

The answer probably wasn't as obvious to Polt in the moment as it was to us viewers. I personally believe though that sensor towers will get used more and more in the future. Being able to not get caught off guard by things coming in from any direction is really such a huge value to your game.

Heroes imortals HAS to be nerfed... So basically polt is strongest terran, because innovation got stomped by hero. Wow.. Well this tournament had probably most strongest matches ever!

To be fair innovation got cheesed to death. Hero went full protoss early game there.

Winter came late, but it came nonetheless, and a HerO rose from the snow.

Can't stop the handsome. This is probably the best I've ever seen Hero play.

Polt played out of his mind too. Finals were epic.
