Fun fact: Polt single-handily knocked Incontrol out of the championship bracket at Providence.
Incontrol was one point away from passing Rain, but Polt beat him.
Then, if Polt had actually beaten Puma, Incontrol would have ended up in sixteenth place over Puma.
He truly is the hero MLG deserves. Sacrificing himself for the good of the many. Actually I remember MLG saying that they were tied and the tie breaker was based off both of their recent performances at the last MLG and Rain did better so he was given the seed.
But if Polt had lost to Incontrol, then Incontrol would have gained enough points to make it. If he had beaten Puma, then Puma wouldn't have enough to pass Incontrol.
Also Polt has a twitter now. Everyone follow him at Polt88.

I think the longest MLG Losers Bracket run was VileHawk, who lost first round of winners, then won every round of losers and made it to championship bracket. I think it was at Anaheim. But I'm just guessing.

Polt just joined twitter! He is @Polt88 ! Go follow!

I was in ORL and got pictures with polt and hongun. Yes, they were nice and always smiled. Those 2 were always casually strolling and never hurried anywhere. It was easy to approach them for pictures.

Polt's English is fucking amazing.

Wow, Polt's English is quite gosu. He even had proper grammar with the commas. I'll be sad if he doesn't get sent to Providence. TSL seems to be sending a few people to every tournament and Polt is ranked in the high 40's after only one trip, so he would have a pretty easy time in the OB if he takes it seriously.

Polt says on twitter he wants to go to Providence. And he's chatting up American nerd chicks in grandmasters level English. Sick nerd baller.

I was always curious about Polt's english, whether or not it was good. His understanding of English seems to be pretty damn good, which I suppose shouldn't be as much of a surprise coming from a Seoul National University student.
I wonder how well he speaks it compare to how well he understands.

Dude, I want to get a Twitter account to chat him up in English for having pretty damn decent English grammar for a native Korean speaker. That might freak him out though, so I'll kindly refrain.
I mean, he's still making mistakes, but he's got the comma, period, \and apostrophe down for the most part. And he capitalizes shit consistently. That's impressive.

That Dark Knight paraphrase got me. Sign me up!
Also, very happy he's on TSL.

Polt has baller level English skills.

Replays? You mean VODs?
Would be awesome if replays are already released but I doubt it.
Nice performance at MLG. Funny that Destiny said that infestor was not *** because no one used it in GSL, we now see what happens when an unknown NA player uses it against a GSL champion lol.

Polt is probably one of the best Terrans at breaking siege lines with bio, his subtle marine splits under siege fire is world class and he does it consistently whenever I see him pull it off. He sometimes botches his attacks but he's scrappy as hell when he's down in supply. I don't even think MarineKing bothers doing the splits versus tanks last I recall.

Bomber and Polt are the best at breaking siege lines in SC2, I feel, though Polt typically does it with marauders while Bomber does it with unsieged tanks/marines. They're both very good at eyeing the situation and just knowing how and when to engage.

MVP is best at breaking lines with mech but Polt is best in breaking lines with bio. He is imo better than MKP at controlling a bio ball and splitting them to break a tank line.

Polt showing S-class command of English compared to the other Korean progamers. Makes me sad he was never on the main stage. I definitely would have wanted to see an interview with him.

Yeah, it's basically MVP (mech), Polt (bio), and Bomber (bio-mech) for breaking tank lines.
Still sad Polt didn't take goswser seriously. We got robbed of a potentially amazing MKP vs. Polt series.
