+TheCk20100 A) don't check comments. B) they did make a new feature 'eventvods spoiler prevention that can block out comments video length and suggested videos.
Holy Shit, that last Game was the most Insane I ever saw! I got stressed, just by watching it. Thats crazy apm and tactic going on...just wow! Best Final Match I saw in SCII.
These guys are so fast and precise while dealing with 5 or more scenarios at the same time ... I've played Starcraft games for over 10 years, but no matter how hard I try, I could never reach this level ...
For my award speech I'll say this: We as a SC2 TH-cam fanbase need to start leaving the start of the game in the comments and thumbs uping them until the Channels start putting them in the description.
This was a circuit tournament so foreign based players only. None of the top Koreans. Polt and Hydra are Korean but they were based on teams in the USA. I love watching these retro tournaments. Miss you Incontrol(Geoff Robinson)!
What a final!!! Polt pouring it on amazingly. Looks to be just unstoppable. Snute showing he has what it takes to compete for a world championship. Nate and Rotti casting with perfection. And a classy show of sportsmanship and respect at the end. Well done to all.
Game 4. What a decision to pull off in the grand final. Polt was out of his mind. These things are not supposed to work in LotV, yet he does 'em again. I'm gonna go try his other builds with the hellbat timings on the ladder and get destroyed now. Other than that, congratz. He's pure class. What a way to end his partnership with CM Storm. And gl hf to the teams that are going to go after him.
Well, duh, youtube comments. Also, there are a ton more spoiler comments here, but you choosing to call me a moron is an insult to morons everywhere...
+Rory Henderson Why would you read the comments before watching the entire video!? You only have yourself to blame. You spoiled it for yourself, leave this guy alone!
+johnny roe So much has changed from HoTS to LoTV. It's very unorthodox to execute build orders that used to be meta on previous versions on such a grand stage such as IEM. Especially because normally they wouldn't even work the same way, especially with the timing changes to the game itself. An example would be Game 1 when Polt tried the mass Hellion Rush! It failed because Snute had already (Luckily) had Roaches already in production.
I was nervous watching Polt's stream before he stopped. Watching him get supply blocked a lot but, I'm glad he shut down my doubts. Always a blast watching him play, gg
Wow been watching eSports for long now, this is the first time i've seen this game in the scene! This is interesting the fact that this game is base on Pure Tactics and Strategies.
I started playing StarCraft II a 3 days ago and finish the entire series! To think I've never played this game so big and well-made. And after watching SCII Tournaments these dudes are really amazing multiple squad commands, multiple skill use, incredible map awareness, micro and macro gameplay everything is just enthralling to watch!
+Hakim Ben Thank god for the Liberator; it might be the funniest named unit in Starcraft History. "Here come the liberators! And they're packin' a lotta Freedom!"
+Andrew Loo In my opinion snute played weakly id honestly wished he win, but he just doesnt deserved it, he was always building same type of units, he was predictable.
Very funny how people who never played the game actually watch this x) I for myself only played SC1, but I enjoy the skill and competition, that´s all I need
***** no... 1 vs 1 umm... sometimes 2vs2 or 4 vs 4 and the latter is most faster. I'm not bad to play, but there's always best in Asia. I won a German, Mexican, Spanish, but not Korean and Japanese.
I straight up just can’t believe the skill difference that has emerged over the course of legacy of the void. A masters player, I would bet, would most likely be able to go toe to toe with these players and that is because legacy of the void has been mapped out to such a larger degree and the skill of the player base has increased a ton.
Question. Why are there so few koreans? is it because foreigners players have been getting so much better taht there are more non korean pro players? or is it just that few koreans were invited to this tournament?
+Lord Scorpion There is a new rules for wcs. All Korean -pro need to live outside Korea to compete in outside Korea. which is why most of them move back to Korea. That rule apply to WCS last year but I think IEM and WCS are combine this year. Yea so only apply to anyone outside Korea.
Polt the best Terran I have seen to date 2023/2024. The Snute Norwegian is one of the best Zerg I've seen to date and this is one of the best finals. These two were real players. They did not give up on the first lost confrontations and stood as hard as they could, show and pure professionalism.
How do you get those strange zerg units with glowing backs? I have never seen them in the game EVER, I am new to the game overall but I've messed around with it enough to know the basic Zerg units, but can someone tell me how please? ^^
You are allowed to change races but players practice their race exclusively for hours and hours every day. There is almost no chance the slight match-up advantage is going to offset the huge experience disadvantage.
Hey I am very new to RTS and MOBA competetive scenes, can somebody tell me if an RTS pro player adapts well to a MOBA, if he can make the switch more or less easily? Thx
I know original Starcraft so I get most of this, but what is the win condition here? It makes sense in terms of who's winning and how everything's going but it seems like the games are ending arbutrarily
Usually The player know that after a great loss of their army, or important piece of his base is destroyed, he know that the recovery is impossible, so he end the game (more or less like when you drop the king in a chess game, when you realize that you won't win...) usually, is a matter of how you economy is doing, and how you an deal with next attack... sometimes s better to quit and save energy for the next game...

Match starts at 24:36.
+Jakub Ciupak you deserve a cookie! ;-)
+JoshuaWinkleman He deserves a Nobel you mean
+Jakub Ciupak You are cool and very likeable person, but am I the only one who like to watch all the casters' commentary at this levels' games?
+Илья Лагуткин You know, I came here for the meat.
+Илья Лагуткин No, it depends on my mood, sometimes I enjoy the commentary sometimes I just want to jump straight into the game.
Great finals, was rooting for Snute but the Polt deserves it. Played very impressive all tournament long
Wtf spoilers?!?
+SC2HL just supress this comment pls
+TheCk20100 how naive can you be if you read the comments before you watch? where do you suggest people discuss the game?
+TheCk20100 A) don't check comments. B) they did make a new feature 'eventvods spoiler prevention that can block out comments video length and suggested videos.
+SC2HL he is the only terran to survive the zerg power the zerg here is overpowered
The game starts at: 24:10
+Claudinho Moraes 24:35 actually, thanks
The actual game started at 24:05 actually, you're welcome. :)
my game started at 4:00:00
thanks!!!
ur good man
What a class act Polt is. Great sportsmanship after winning.
+Benjamin Hernandez I like them both, but it is good to see Polt making a comeback, would have preferred to see him beat Hydra. :)
Holy Shit, that last Game was the most Insane I ever saw! I got stressed, just by watching it. Thats crazy apm and tactic going on...just wow! Best Final Match I saw in SCII.
+Leo G. lol man havent u seen s0s vs Life in last year's world championship? OMFG amazing throughout, AND incredible final. worth a watch
+Leo G. insanely boring yes
Snute is a really good player and really good manner... why so much hate? they did a beautiful final.... gg to them.
+Mordreck87 probably because Snute back in HotS was a really cheap player that did nothing but spam swarmhosts.
Because fuck Zerg.
i just love the actitude from Polt, really respectful with the other players. Wonderful performance from sure!
These guys are so fast and precise while dealing with 5 or more scenarios at the same time ... I've played Starcraft games for over 10 years, but no matter how hard I try, I could never reach this level ...
I love you guys and ESL, but please please, 1080p 60FPS please!!!!
+Nevsack63 It is
+Perfectonist Gamer 720p is not 1080p
oh read it wrong sorry
Perfectonist Gamer :)
+Nevsack63 It's not that necessary. You're just being snobbish.
Spoiler alert: Polt hugs Snute... Touching moment lol
I know..... for some reason, it was a really touching moment
Polt's always been a class player. In all aspects. Having good sportsmanship is definitely a quality he's known for.
The IEM hostings are made so well, I do say so myself, from my perspective as an after-the-fact watcher.
23:30
Thx m8
XD
I dont g et it?
You da real MVP

+DeFortes Cameron just would be better if Destiny was instead of Nate
SPOILER
2:04:03 Still the best play of all these games, fills my little e-sports heart with joy to see that play.
Game 4.
What a decision to pull off in the grand final.
Polt was out of his mind.
These things are not supposed to work in LotV, yet he does 'em again.
I'm gonna go try his other builds with the hellbat timings on the ladder and get destroyed now.
Other than that, congratz. He's pure class.
What a way to end his partnership with CM Storm.
And gl hf to the teams that are going to go after him.
+Totem PsyClinic sick spoiler moron

Polt is amazing. Absolutely my favorite SC2 player after Maru. Would be interesting to see a Polt - Maru, of course.
couldnt ask for a better grand final! both great players and great people Polt and Snute are both favourites of mine
I was nervous watching Polt's stream before he stopped. Watching him get supply blocked a lot but, I'm glad he shut down my doubts. Always a blast watching him play, gg
Wow been watching eSports for long now, this is the first time i've seen this game in the scene! This is interesting the fact that this game is base on Pure Tactics and Strategies.
insane a guy from my country (norway) got to the finals in sc2 :O
"Polt is quite predictable." *polt destroys and wins anyways*
Incredible moment when picks up the cup. That soundtrack wow !
what a beautiful hug between them at the end :) I love sportsmanship in Starcraft :D
Outstanding finale! so much action and great play from both men. Thank you so much for uploading!

awsome! welcome to SC bro
sad
CANT WAIT LONG ENOUGH FOR 1080p GO POLT!!! GO USA!!!
Funka is legit awesome observer
+Илья Лагуткин absolutely unreal how good he is
Ich liebe Starcraft ♥
Lichtblick Ich keine liebe Starcraft II
Lichtblick translation “I love Starcraft” correct if I’m wrong
Polt bringing some Freedom to Katowice.
+Hakim Ben could have been much worse ;)
+Hakim Ben Thank god for the Liberator; it might be the funniest named unit in Starcraft History.
"Here come the liberators! And they're packin' a lotta Freedom!"
Watching incontrol now i miss him and his humor.
These dudes' multitasking and lightning fast thinking is amazing
How satisfying it has to be as programmer to see your game being mastered to this sick extend
Doesn't breaking the game require to master it to begin with?
Great game! Simple plan, brilliant adaptability and lastly strongly strong execution! A master piece indeed!
Polt - The only one who makes 3rax Reaper into 10rax Bio without Medivacs happen :D xD
Pure muscle.
I'm new to SC 2 and I can't stop watching these matches!
Is it normal?
+An Autistic Rithmatist it isn't just normal, it's perfectly fine!
polt so good. He and snute have so much experience
+Andrew Loo In my opinion snute played weakly id honestly wished he win, but he just doesnt deserved it, he was always building same type of units, he was predictable.
Andrew Loo you know that polt was world master for about one year ago
Я у Полта в команде играю... Я из любопытсва научусь пси штормы кидать... Баланс в игре идеальный
Not feeling confident to go for ling/bane muta hurt Snute a lot in this final. He was to predictable.
Polt is one of my favourite players, always a class act.
Awesome soundtrack when Polt take the cup
Very funny how people who never played the game actually watch this x) I for myself only played SC1, but I enjoy the skill and competition, that´s all I need
It was great match, glad to be there. Snute manovers are amaizing, but Polt economy is wow! There was so much action :D
Cant beat Koreans on their national sport!
he didnt have a chance against Nerchio on dreamhack though
Joru Såatt Who to be more clear?
Star Craft Do
Try saying that to Serral.
@@beslemeto say this serral
2 Terran, 2 Zerg, 2 Koreans.
XD
*****
Sí. I'm from EL Salvador. Yo soy salvadoreño.
:)
*****
Hi! amm I don't have Sc2, so I look on youtube XD I play ST1, but here it is not famous. Here is not many people playing as elsewhere.
*****
Yap. I have som-friends mexican, germanies, asiatic... but I never win playing with them (only asiaticXD )
*****
no... 1 vs 1 umm... sometimes 2vs2 or 4 vs 4 and the latter is most faster. I'm not bad to play, but there's always best in Asia. I won a German, Mexican, Spanish, but not Korean and Japanese.
The final game was awesome. This game is so much better than Heart of the Swarm.
Snutes lack of creep spread is giving me a headache. Has something changed significantly from the WoL days when it comes to creep mechanics?
Snute and Polt both seem like really cool guys.
1:54:00 One man left behind.
lol
Well deserved. Polt played an amazing game
The pros are really entertaining.
Nathanius and rotti are THE BEST COMMENTATORS EVER for sc2
Its 2016, please have the game recorded in at least 1080p if not 2160p.
fantastic games!
Only talking for the first 24:00 minutes
2:06:58 Great production values, but someone couldn't take some windex to the trophy box?
I straight up just can’t believe the skill difference that has emerged over the course of legacy of the void.

+micha224 thanks. That helps a lot
You control units, build your base, upgrade your technology, and to keep it simple, you dominate!
i have no idea what are they doing but this is satisfaying af to watch
Watching InControl at desk really brings the feels.
Wow, I had not seen Polt win in the style of game 3 before. Such a fast kill
Does anyone know the soundtrack after each game? Like 30:51 for example
so glad Polt won this! I main toss, but Polt is by far my favorite player. Rooting for you all the time bro! get it done!
Polt the best Terran I have seen to date 2023/2024.
The Snute Norwegian is one of the best Zerg I've seen to date and this is one of the best finals.
These two were real players. They did not give up on the first lost confrontations and stood as hard as they could, show and pure professionalism.
Wonderful series!
excellent performance from polt! totally deserved win. polt ftw!~
what song do they play at 2:03:35? and also at 2:05:00?
Immortal Polt game.
I'm here to see the new coach of T1! :D
what is the win theme music at 2:03:35 ??
What is the song that plays when Polt lifts up his trophy?
whoever tells me the name of the song at 1:04:11 wins a buttrillion of moneys and other stuff too!
same
Come on Cap America Haven't watched yet Praying you win
Whats the song at the end?
+Gabriel Pintacasi My Story (Official ESL Theme)
+Gabriel Pintacasi Love that picture. Boston nation baby!
I dont really play sc2, but i love watching it
Yo no digo nada pero hay una partida por ahí k podía terminar muy pronto..., a ver si sabéis cuál es???
720 quality looks like 240
+DaJackal It's time for you to visit the opticians. Looks crystal clear for me.
Beastly Hax I have a 720p monitor and it looks brilliant.
+Chris i'm watching on my tablet without my glasses and it looks great so you're right
l2 1080
Looks like 420
that hug tho. GG sportsmanship
never heard of star craft or what is happening but it looks fun
Starcraft esports gets great if you understand the game and played some Matches for yourself
sc2 is one of the best games ever. you should play it
Finally not KR vs KR grand final, I like it.
How do you get those strange zerg units with glowing backs? I have never seen them in the game EVER, I am new to the game overall but I've messed around with it enough to know the basic Zerg units, but can someone tell me how please? ^^
+blurreth They are skins you get by levelling up.
whoa, no protoss made it to finals? lol
+yuch1102 Only 2 races max can make it to the finals really
CrazyBread ya don't say?
+yuch1102 And both are humans
+CrazyBread Usually it's two asians
+yuch1102 Protoss cannot win against Zerg. Polt was the only terran that could do it for his race.
Polt and DeMuslim are one of my favorite Terran players
Beautiful game! 1 question(i am a begginer). Can't they change the race on the maps?? Or the same race for the entire bo3/bo5/bo7 series?
You are allowed to change races but players practice their race exclusively for hours and hours every day. There is almost no chance the slight match-up advantage is going to offset the huge experience disadvantage.
Thank you.
it is if you found out that another race is his weakest depending on the build, could surprise him...
I've seen it happen once, a pro zerg player played as protoss, took her opponent off guard and managed to win
You mean Scarlett on Ryung?
Hey I am very new to RTS and MOBA competetive scenes, can somebody tell me if an RTS pro player adapts well to a MOBA, if he can make the switch more or less easily? Thx
Of course. If you're great at RTS you'll be above the cut in MOBA, because RTS is harder.
guy at 10:18 has a sniper rifle. We were fortunate to avoid an international incident.
Dont tell me they had this music playing live as he grasped the trophy!
i wanna start playing sc2... mind teaching me where i should start? watching guides on youtube etc?
Who still remembers Operation Can't Wait Any Longer?
polt is the coolest player by far, being korean but still speaking english, repsecting his opponent so much and admiting that it was hard
56:46 "He might just die to this.." "...oh my god.." XD
How do they pick up siege tanks? it doesn't work for me
I know original Starcraft so I get most of this, but what is the win condition here? It makes sense in terms of who's winning and how everything's going but it seems like the games are ending arbutrarily
Usually The player know that after a great loss of their army, or important piece of his base is destroyed, he know that the recovery is impossible, so he end the game (more or less like when you drop the king in a chess game, when you realize that you won't win...)
usually, is a matter of how you economy is doing, and how you an deal with next attack... sometimes s better to quit and save energy for the next game...
Thiago Soares Leite thanks I was just confused because i didn't realize they had quit
good luck gamers and fans sc2!
Back when Nate actually cared about the game and put some effort into his casting.
He is the new Flash. I wish Flash will return to play again Starcraft 2 until Starcraft 3 comes out!
Really tho, only 360p quality for the grand final?! Am I missing something?
+Byron Caraway Ye, it just got uploaded... Wait a few minutes and the quality will get better...
