100% true. I remember this year. SC2 was so exciting. I was so excited to play, to watch, to do anything starcraft.

Here's the edited together final video. Again, sorry for having to release the split! This edit took far too long to process! Won't be removing the other videos.

ESL If possible, could you guys put updated playlists together? Sometimes I can't keep up with the games because of work, and when I come to watch them... I end up seeing spoilers in the titles of the videos. So like.. I'm about to watch, let's say, Kain vs Polt, then I see the next video is Polt vs Trap. Clearly that means that Polt won. If you put a playlist together, I don't need to look for the videos, I just watch it all in sequential order. *From oldest to newest* I hate spoilers :(

Big con to Polt. This great comeback victory means a lot to all Terran players! Hydra is a phenomenal zerg player with a strong personal style. But he misjudged the situation too many times and always fighting off the creep. It's really fun to watch but also costs him the series.

First time for me watching anything StarCraft 2 and I was hooked on this match the whole time.

Wow so this is Polt before being T1s head coach. I don't understand much about StarCraft but he's offensive strat is just amazing

I watch their fingers mashing the keyboards into oblivion and realize how skill intensive this game is. You can play it at 10APM or you can PLAY it at 400APM.

+Rune ­ Actually, a lot of "pro" players intentionally inflate their APM. Watch how many times they give a move order to a single unit. they click 5-10 times in some cases. Also, when you can hear the keyboard and see them in "first-person" view it becomes more obvious. Look up Polt on Twitch and watch for a bit. He was playing the LotV campaign and pressed 30 keys to spawn one zealot, I shit you not (and nothing else, it was at the start of a game). EAPM (Effective Actions Per Minute) is the real stat to focus on, as it looks at how many actual commands get issued, and cuts out the chaff.

That was an amazing series. Much respects for Polt earning that one. Losing a full night's sleep leading to this series was worth it.

These are some good commentators. I have never seen or played Starcraft before, but I could actually understand what was going on.

ambos son los mejores jugadores de StarCraft 2, digan lo que digan, y mucho mas cuando se enfrentan entre si, esto es un juego de nivel DIOS.

The vigor of polt. One of the best nail biting finals I've seem so far. If you want the after match analysis...go to the wcs twitch channel and watch the day 3 upload. Maybe one day Apollo gets his dream of a 2 racks tournament win

Captain America vs. Hydra? ... huh. That's coincidental

That 5th game was one of the best I've ever seen for sure.

Hey man this song reminds me of old days.. I think I've heard it like 10-12 years ago last time!

on deadwing, whats the difference between vertical and horizontal spawn (is there even horizontal) because every game I've seen has only mentioned vertical being better than cross

amazing series

Too early gg by Hydra at G6 tbh, he still had a gold and a resource advantage, he just needed to step away from those banelings to hit the bases with Nydus/drops/air. Sack third to keep gold and distract while moving in.

When Hydra lost a whole bunch of mutas to a widow mine hit, the camera didn't give us a great shot. Obviously you can't get everything every time. They should have used that 5/split cam more where it showed their faces and their keyboards as well as the map at the same time. very nice.

Great tournament! The interviewer and cameraman is a little so so, but the player are making up for the short comings!

Really awesome match up

Great game. Loved the way he finished. Honestly thought Polt would've lost that last game

And with the ammount of money ESL posesses, they still can't bring out FULL 1080p recordings... and no I don't mean 1080p video render from a 480p recording, I'm talking REAL 1080p. Sick of watching these matches as if I needed glasses just because they are so damn blurry

First time watching star craft. Is this game sort of like a more advanced halo wars?

nathanias and collarrus! Awesome!

It always seems to be the case that Game 6 of a best of 7 regardless of sport seems to deliver more than Game 7

rewatching in 2018

Spoiler Warning! Congrats to Polt for pulling that back. Both of these players are better at Starcraft than I could ever dream to be. With that said, I honestly feel that terran is a bit overpowered. It seems like most of the games that Polt won in this series were won in the same way. Open up reaper + hellion, maybe into hellbats later, and eventually push out with a large bio force, constantly reinforce, and simply win. What the hell does a zerg do against that push that he won with so many times? Ling Bane Muta just doesn't cut it because terran splits are way too powerful. Banelings are just NEVER cost effective unless the terran screws up. Also on a side note, Ultralisks are absolutely useless and hellbats being able to be healed by medivacs is bs. Are they biological or mechanical? Pick one!

Damn I don't think I've ever seen a zerg beat Polt. He is awesome.

It's not fair that terran gets to sit on -1 base and pull out this kinda of reinforcement. Now that I think of it, the last game is a perfect case for Lotv's plan to reduce the minerals at bases.

Awesome awesome series!

Hell im new to Starcraft and im just wondering. Why does one or the other win without destroing enemy base ? The losing one surrender or what are the winning objectives ?

I felt Hydra set himself up for failure by not deviating from his strategy of getting Zerglings, Banelings and Mutas in just about every single match. For instance, he won the game pretty convincingly during the game he went with Roaches. Conversely, look at how Polt mixed up his attacks and constantly applied new pressures and attacks. Polt deserved to win this if Hydra wasn't going to adjust his tactics.

Damn that game was intense

In the last game hydra should have taken a 5th base to the lower right earlier so he could have afforded to lose his 3rd. He was banking extra minerals, there's no reason not to have extra static defense and macro hatcheries, I really thought he could have won it. Long live the zerg

You have to be put in a "clan". From there you will live with people like polt. If you get good enough, you will then be asked to play in the Championship. If you are trying to get in the championship, I wish you luck about it.

in game 6 hydra mistake was his army placement and timing he should have send a overseer onto the ramp then put a sustainable force on the ramp and push plots army with his force at the front and bring down the forces on the ramp and surround polt shoot down the medivacs with he Mutalisk then polt will have nowhere to go that way he could have brought more time and no suffer the constant attack from polt

2:08:35 is it just me or does it look like the WINNER has been erased previously and overwritten with polt? :D
