so much respect for this man
however day9 in this tournament was exceedingly annoying, with his hizzes and the constant "OH NO!", every game seemed like a tragedy for him.
I don´t think there´s any caster for NA I like

He ordered burger, fries and a drink, and could only finish half of his meal. To be fair, the burgers and fries were quite substantial.

Pretty much bigger by themselves than an average person eats in a meal.

Haha that's so true, 5'9 is slightly above average in the Netherlands but by no means really tall for a girl.
Looking back on this series it is rather impressive for Jaedong to have 4 top 4 finishes in the last 4 months. He's lost a final to every single race, but he also beat really good players of every single race. Like another guy in this thread said, if he won all 3 finals he would've been counted among the favourites to do well at the season finals. Polt actually played really well and mostly smarter overall, completely countering Jaedongs style which did seem unrefined. There's no good reason for Zerg to pool as much gas as he did unless preparing for a giant tech switch, so Polts 3/3 MMM-combo completely blew him away time after time. I guess it's a good learning experience for JD and Polt definitely deserves his title (:
