Sign me up. I knew he had so much potential since what he did to MC. Surprised he hasn't gotten as much attention until last night.

You mean in the very first GSL, right? Me too: don't quite care about SC2 enough to call myself a fan, but I definitely had my eye on Polt since then.

Can we see a name change to OptimusPrime?

If OptimusPrime competed in sc2 and won many tournaments, we might considere calling him Polt for being that gosu.

That's how awesome Polt is.
I'd prefere Polt toi stay Polt.

Sign me up I like a guy who plays standard and safe, I didn't like him for a spell because he said jinro wasn't that great but he was just being honest.

One tournament and Polt is suddenly in the top 3 of all-time tournament earnings in SC2, below only MC and NesTea. Double the amount of cash for one extra round of play compared to Code S...lol.

I was a fan in the first two GSL. Sick timings he had. Then, he didn't perform well and I shrugged him off to the point that I wasn't a fan anymore. Oh boy, I want to go back on the bandwagon. Really solid play all tournament long. He has great potential.

Polt won the Super Tournament, so I think he deserves the title Optimus.Prime

sign me up. I think this guy has what it takes to be the best. He's just so good at all the match-ups!!!

I'm so glad he won. I really wanted him to win especially after he took out Maka (

) but I really didn't think he could take down MMA who was taking out so many solid Terrans, while it is arguable Polt's worst match up. Congrats Polt!!

On another note, it is really nice to have a relatively unexpected winner for a GSL (I don't think Fruitdealer counts since no one really knew what to think at that time).

o yea about the optimus prime thing, it's not permanent

it gets switched around, whoever won the last GSL gets to use it for the time

sort of weird and probably will be confusing to fans, but it sounds like a good motivator within the team house

so don't vote in the poll thinking something like "but MKP should have it" etc.

Note: This is according to an interview i saw yesterday or the day before that about the GSL finals, where the coach answered

Optimus is like a title belt.

If MarineKing, Maka, Anypro, etc can win a GSL, they'll take the ID Optimus.

I'll just call him Poltimus if he changes his ID. Combining the two.
