They work because marines are such a powerful unit that massing them grants you a 50/50 win chance even against a vastly superior opponent. All I saw was the two-time GSL champion struggling against the matchup's awful mechanics when facing a mediocre opponent who executed but a single build decently. ??? what kind of crack are you smoking?? Nestea lost because he made the wrong reads on TOP's builds and had poor defense vs harass. Classic Nestea would perfectly predict what his opponent is doing and have the perfect reaction. That day he did not, he lost the mind games or whatever. Either way, he lost because of his own mistakes, BO-losses, etc... not due to TOP 1-a'ing his marines anywhere. You can't even 1a marines in TvZ because banelings will just blow them all up. - Anyway, Polt is underrated but somehow it feels like Bisu vs Savior here in the finals. One guy has good strategy, nice timing and decision-making but the other guy has supreme multi-tasking and an overwhelming arsenal of harass. Personally MKP is probably better than MMA in straight up games like MLG or LAN events. But with Boxer/Cella and his team, MMA got the advice and encouragement that he needed to adapt and beat MKP's style. This gives him the edge vs the lonewolf Polt who practices from home. | ||

I feel like I've seen players crediting fOu in the past as well. They must be a good team for general support and community building. I wonder if that will get less common if they start feeling like they are competing for sponsorships in Korea. I'm liquibetting Polt for the finals, but hoping for more great games. I liked all 4 players in the semis and thought the games were generally very strong (too bad about the banshee mismicro in the last game for oGsTOP). Or course, I play terran, so I get to watch the games and just enjoy them without having the need to complain about imba. | ||

Too bad MMA doesn't have a "Bisu build" up his sleeve. And Polt is the definition of harassment. On June 14 2011 05:01 Talin wrote: Irrational hatred? Really?

Polt gets a lot of hate. Go to the LR thread and look for yourself. There are maybe 5 people who actually admit he earned his wins. | ||

Too bad Polt gets so much hate in every single LR threads. I don`t understand the hate either. People are just pissed he knocks out their favorite players(MC, Huk). He is a consistent performer in GSL. He doesn`t usually finish high but he can hang with Code S players for sure. Now that a think about it, koreans have so many damn top tier terran players. | ||

I've been reading that thread (can't watch streams on work) during the actual games, and noticed probably no more than 5 posts that could MAYBE, at a stretch, be categorized as "irrational hatred". And most of them were during the actual games where people will generally post all kinds of shit due to excitement and cheering for their player. It's not like MMA vs MKP was any different in that regard (or most other games). On the other hand, I've noticed so many posts pretty much taking pity on Polt and "defending" him against some imaginary witch hunt... I don't really know. Unless you're interpreting not being too excited about Polt as a finalist (or in general) and not considering him the greatest player (and person) in the world for getting there as "hatred". In which case, I... would be speechless. =P | ||

Just because certain voices are the loudest does not make them correct | ||
