Violet's ZvT record is misleading. His games against MVP and Ryung were very close, and he lost the majority of those in the late game due to bad positioning. Ensnare's TvZ is misleading as well: his only notable win was against Nestea in Code S Season 2, the rest were relatively nobodies back during the Opens. I think Violet is going to advance out of his group handily.

My #1 wish for this season is for Polt to lose in group stages and get knocked down to code A (and then preferably out of Code A). Maybe then I can stop hearing this nonsense about him being the "4th best in the world" or whatever.


He's 2nd ELO in Korea, just won the biggest e-sport tournament of all-time prize wise, 4-0'ed in the finals, and is somewhere around 48-14 in his past 62 games.

It's hard to argue he's not around the top in the world at this moment. Could totally change starting now, but you can't look past his accomplishments.

Good read but there's too much Polt factor... he's been flying under the radar but now has a pretty big target on his back... also, not completely sure about the Bomber/MC matchup... it'll be interesting to watch for sure... and Huk's PvP has somewhat improved... although I'm speaking through hindsight after he beat MC and Naniwa in the HomeStory Cup... but HSC is not GSL... still, it's improving...

Fantastic read, I like that we're getting the obligatory mention of TheBest right off the bat now. No need to be subtle about it.

These are always so great, I don't know what else to say. Genius & SocceR fighting!

I'll be amazed if you're not trolling in some of the Code A predictions.

Which ones do you think are trolling? The only particularly controversial ones are Puzzle > MMA, though everyone knows Puzzle has been a beast forever, and Sheth > San, which I guess is the most debatable.

Amazing article again guys, getting me pumped!

Little too soon to place polt above MKP imo. He did fantastic in the super tournament, but before that was pretty much one of the dingleberries of the gsl.

Good write-up except..

Pretty much bullshit to bitch about Rain as though he stole games you felt entitled to watch or prevented other players from taking that spot because he's moving to America. Should any GSL player be forced to play until he's eliminated for your sense of entitlement? Cut the bull.

HuK also came off + Show Spoiler +
winning the homestory III like today, so 2 big wins in a row, he's gonna go far in GSL I think.


HuK is taking GSL imo, especially after seeing todays play.

Calm down. I don't hate Rain. It's just tongue-and-cheek joke. Did everyone jump on Nestea for bringing a slice of cheese to the Group Selection for Rain? I don't necessarily blame him for leaving to participate in American/European tournaments, but I do wish that it could have happened earlier/been corrected earlier so that there could be a replacement. The money you get just for being in one round of Code S is a nice chunk of change, so I would have liked to see someone take the spot since there are hundreds of players in Korea jut trying to get into Code A. No hard feelings towards Rain/The-Player-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named.

Think its all based off of relative recent success (aside from the big three; MVP, Nestea and MC). MKP lost to MMA in 3-2 fashion. Polt? He 4-0'd MMA in the finals. Yeah sure Polt has a wealth of replays to watch off of MMA, but MMA TvT'd his way towards the finals and Polt's weakest match up is arguably TvT.

And its all opinionated anyways, one rank higher is negligible in my opinion.

Great read by the way.
