Sad end to the tournament. Didn't play that well, but hard games to lose against the builds he did. Hopefully he can rebound during WCS America. Huk and Grubby played well.

Noooo, soo sad for Polt

Suprised at these losses.

Gotta root for Gumiho now I guess as last Korean Terran hope.

Those damn oracle builds. When will Terran get a unit that can give GGs that easily early on...?

Polt we love you man, just go on and destroy WCS for us!

Wat

So let me get this straight. Polt loses against two foreign Protosses in his best match-up? This is just nearly incomprehensible to me.

That's what practicing on NA ladder gets you

TL predictions getting it all wrong again as usual with the Nr, 1 power rank is a strong curse.

Super frustrating, knowing he could have went far in the tournament but had several negative factors. As a full- time university student that has to go to class, do schoolwork, and fit in practice times, he only gets about 4 hours of sleep per night + the jetlag + had the farthest hotel from the venue = Just pure fatigue.

And yet, we still know him to be of a high caliber player despite not committing to progaming full-time. And I have so much respect for him for pursuing higher education, trying to improve his English to communicate better with his fans, and taking control of his life.

So Polt fighting! I believe!

Let's win WCS America!

Indeed, but his skill will inevitably suffer, and that probably means we will not see him always finish high/win like he used to, which is sad because he was so much fun to watch.

GL to Polt.

I think I am not a person who can do two things at the same time. Fortunately, class just left 3 days. I'll do my best for WCS America!

Looks like only three more days of class and then Polt is full on progamer again. Good news for WCS America.

Ohh he is going to graduate or something?, sweet.

In theory that could be the start of the next "best player in the world" considering how good Polt is as part-time. Could just be my fanboy talking though

Does anyone know why LP says Polt forfeited his series against Huk?

Polt has really struggled to juggle multiple things in his schedules. I remember LSC2 was such a challenge for him because he said he was distracted. If Polt can focus on pro-gaming purely, he can be the championship quality player we all know and love. But despite the disappointing showing, I think Polt will dominate WCS NA to compensate for it.

I'll say it as a fan.. And I know I'll get a lot of hate for it.. Polt should focus on either progaming or studying. Doing both will do more harm. Polt will not be one of the best in his university classes, nor one of the best in SC2 tournaments.

As a fan, I said it.

I love this guy and his stream but I didn´t understand his reaction when he scouted the proxy oracle (twice). We all know its kills up to 6 marines easily so you need something else.

I heard he was ill too, although I have no way of confirming this. Demu spoke about it on his stream afterwards and said it would make sense if he was ill or tired or something because it really didn't look like Polt playing at all.

Sign me up !

I remembered Polt's epic supply depot wall in rebuilding skills (rebuilding supply depot walls like 5 times over the span of 10 seconds) in IPL5!
