Bomber defeats Polt 3-1 to claim first major championship since WCS S2 2013 Finals

We were treated to a rare spectacle last night in Atlanta as the Red Bull Battle Grounds concluded with a TvT final between the heavy favorites, (T)CMStorm.Polt and (T)RedBull.Bomber. In a true homecoming for the sole Red Bull representative, Bomber routed Polt 3-1 for his first premier title since the WCS S2 Finals from over a year ago. Meanwhile, the GSL Super Tournament champion recorded his fourth second place finish of 2014.

Bomber's tournament was notable for his management under pressure, looking quite comfortable all weekend long. His toughest challenge came in the semifinals, where he won a decisive game 5 against a resurging (Z)viOLet. Polt took out fan favorite (Z)Suppy in a close 2-1 quarterfinal win, and ended a great tournament run from (P)HuK in the semifinal. Bomber chose some smart, aggressive builds for the final taking the fight to Polt in all four games. Bomber's sole loss came to an excellent counter attack from Polt.

With this win, Bomber is invited to attend the BattleGrounds Grand Finals in Washington D.C. As the runner-up in the most recent WCS AM and now a Battle Grounds champion, Bomber looks to be a serious contender for Dreamhack Valencia later this week.

Was half expecting a Polt/Violet roommate death-match final, but Bomber winning his sponsors own tournament is fitting. Good for Bomber!

Wish the TvT final could have been a little better with some longer back and forth games

I fell asleep before the finals , but it was an awesome tournament all around. Best possible winner for me, besides TooDking of course. Congrats Bomber!!!

I wonder if Polt crushed some Terran dreams with his widow mine play, he made them look OP without the buff , awesome TvZ playstyle from him! Such a contrast to Bomber's pure bio style.
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

I thought this was a awesome watch loved every minute of it, someday I hope to go to one.

I think they mean Polt's 5th second place.

Agreed, though Bomber's resilliance was pretty amazing to watch especially after being down like he was on map 1.

I would've rage-quit that game o.o

Oh, and thanks for the write up OP!

Yay Bomber!
Sad for Polt though, this makes 3 events he was runner up in to qualify for Red Bull DC

I was so happy to see Bomber win. I live in Georgia and have been a BIG Bomber fan since 2010 when he first game to the GSL! It was great to get to see him in person and get his autograph.

I like how Bomber changed up his style vs Polt, cool to watch, especially for all of the traveling fans/players, they may have learnt a thing or two

I wanted Polt to win so badly, but Bomber just played better. His risk-taking paid off again and again, his superb micro allowed him to make things work which normally shouldn't.

If you plan on watching a tourney, stay away from Teamliquid and /r/starcraft until you're done watching it.

I generally do, but i'm using TL to acces the vods, so all i'm relying on is that the front page option "hide spoilers" works... which it really should.

Between Bomber's pure bio play and Polt's mass widow mines in lategame TvZ, I feel that this tourney gave me a lot of things to think about/work on. And Bomber winning was just the icing on the delicious cake that was this tournament !
