Polt is still the only korean able to start streaming and have 2k people watching within half an hour.
And now he's starting to commentate in english very well.
And he's still Polt, someone you can hardly rank less than top3 terran in WoL.
Can you even get a better CV that this when lookign for a team ? Idk man. top 3 terran? There's a lot of good terrans now lol, we still don't know completely about Flash, Innovation is sick, MKP is still ridiculous, Taeja is still pretty good despite the wrists. Bomber can either be amazing or awful. Basically there's a lot of contenders. Was more thinking " over the duration of WoL " than at this precise day. Overall, WoL for Terran was mostly MVP, MMA and Polt with MarineKing being sad somewhere near. fairly sure most would rank mkp over polt, my biasedness aside If we are looking at GSL results, it is a close tie between MKP's overall consistency and occasional high placements, or Polt's consistency that wasn't as great, but at least won a GSL championship. Looking at their overall careers, MKP made a relatively similar amount of money with Polt, but won more tournaments and generally had the bigger profile. Personally, ranking WoL Terrans would go: Mvp, MMA, Polt/MKP.
I think MKP's GSL results still beat polt's, he still got to finals 3 times and is the most consistent player in Code S now.
MKP has also had arguably a stronger impact on the race then Polt, and since he was in Code S the longest he was playing albeit not the best but well at most points in time whereas Polt has had many slumps. MKP has also held higher ELO ratings then Polt has.

Yay, more Polt streaming!

Poor Polt, the MMR system hate him. Making him wait like 10min for each game. :<

Maybe something to do with most Koreans sleeping or resting when Polt was playing. The majority of the HotS GM ladder is Korean too, so he will statistically have less players to play with. Or maybe it really is his high MMR.

Looking solid against Hyun so far. with nice use of widow mines
|
Super impressive HotS play against HyuN. If Polt can do this to HyuN, the Day9-TL HotS beta tournament will be very one-sided.

Polt is playing against Creator in HotS IPL Fight Club!
He tore through the IPL6 HotS Invitational Qualifier, defeating QXC in the final
He also made it to the IPL6 HotS tournament.

Fight club is going to be awesome

Guessing Polt will do the HotS Invitational at IPL6 instead of the WoL tournament. Which is a good idea for three reasons:
A) HotS has a smaller prize pool, but there are a lot less players. With only eight qualifying, he has a very good shot at winning first and $12,000.
B) He can officially stop worrying about Wings of Liberty, focusing all his time on HotS. This means IPL6, King of the Beta, and hopefully MLG Dallas if he beats Hero tomorrow.
C) IPL6 WoL has Curious, Life, and a thousand Zergs. There is a reason why there is so few Terrans qualified for IPL6. He could make a deep run like he did at IPL5, but winning seems unlikely with how many Code S Zergs will be there.

If Polt can beat Creator, that sets a strong precedence for the series against HerO. If Polt can beat Creator in HotS, he is just as likely to crush HerO, who hasn't looked great recently, even against Terrans.

Hero probably hasn't played much HotS. With Proleague and Code A, he's probably been 90/10 WoL to HotS.

It is possible, but I think because Polt has been focusing so much on HotS recently, the WoL transition will be awkward and difficult to work around. Plus, having to balance two tournaments is incredibly exhausting, so sticking with one tournament is better.

Polt just tore apart Creator in FC. Demolished him 5-1 in pretty one-sided games.
I'm confident Polt will tear apart HerO in the MLG Showdowns too. HerO has not been playing much HotS probably due to being pre-occupied with PL.
|
Polt looking to be the strongest HOTS terran.
|
sick games from Polt. just a preview of things to come. he's gonna wreck upcoming tournaments.
|
that was so one sided and boring, bleh. was hoping for a better series.
