+ Show Spoiler + Cezanne getting better and better, though Polt really surprises me. A bit upset by Leenock, although not knowing how the games went of course. | ||

Not surprised that leenock got eliminated everyone has been overhyping him quite alot since tastsosis were like omg hes amazing. Hes good but not amazing plus he is only 16 probably gets really nervous | ||

Maka has been really disappointing for a while now. He looked so strong around release time, but recently he hasn't been impressive at all. Those up and down matches he played were just embarrassing. | ||

+ Show Spoiler + Rain could of gotten in to Code S. I was vying for Cezzane to pull through; however, I feel that even though Polt.Prime is another Terran to add to the code S mix, he brings a unique play style and actually is willing to deviate from the normal strategies. I don't see him going as far Cezzane could of though. | ||

I can't believe Polt is in code S again. He either practiced his ass off since the Up&Down matches or he got lucky 6 times! I was really hoping Cezanne or Leenok would go through | ||

Oh well, at least it's not Leenock...but didn't really want another Terran in Code S As for Rain......who wants to bet that he opened with his silly half-attempts at Mech openings again? | ||

Also too bad about Cezanne, we could always use more oGs players in Code S, as well as more players randomly named after French post-impressionists. I do think Polt is more solid than we usually give him credit for though, he has had some very innovative strategies in the past. (If memory serves me right, he was the first to use the marine-raven-banshee timing attack, no? I could be mistaken, though.) | ||

Wow, Rain, the one hit wonder... and Moon on the rise. Another Terran in Code S doesn't make me overly stoked, though. | ||

I'm pretty sure it had been around before that, but yes in the round of 64 Polt vs MC on Scrap in GSL1 was the first time it was used in a big streamed tournament, which greatly increased its popularity on ladder. | ||

Either way, he's clearly earned his spot in Code S. GG. + Show Spoiler + Really wanted a Z or P to win though, ideally Leenock or Moon. | ||

I was actually hoping it would be Cezanne in the end. I'm sure we'll see more of him in the future, anyway. As I recall Polt is one of the guys who always gets mentioned when interviews roll around to the "who would you like to thank" portion. | ||

I almost feel sorry for the guy. Since his semi-final against Hong-un he's been trounced left and right like an average platinum player edit : okay I'm being a bit harsh, he got a few decent wins in Zotac. Still not code S material though. | ||

Anyone wanna bet maka & leenock will be out in round 1 code A and never see them again ? too much hate Remember Rain is on TSL with many talented players of all races around. I have faith in Rain improving in no time and crawling back to code S Naw, Leenock's a good player, Maka's brain just hasn't been working lately. Remember that Cezanne has a halfway decent ZvZ and that's probably Leenock's weakest matchup, doesn't surprise me that that matchup turned out like that. Even if you watch the games Leenock lost against Byun in the up and down matches, he was playing pretty darned well. Byun just happens to be really, really good. At worst Leenock is Code A, but I think he could very well get back to Code S this season. Btw it's weird to me that people are surprised about the results on Moon vs Rain. I would have predicted that exact result. Rain is solid Code A material no doubt, but Moon is sort of on the upper end of that category, maybe even Code S material when he's having a good day. | ||

Another Terran doesn't really change anything since the original Code S spot was taken by a Terran. There happens to be only one more Terran in GSL5 than in GSL4. Can't tell if it was Zerg or Protoss who were cut back short by one. | ||

I think he is just a player who varies a lot, but once he has enough practice he will become more consistent and eventually get back to Code S. | ||

His first build against FruitDealer in the up and down matches relied on not being scouted, and then he was obviously on tilt after that.

Nope, even if FD didn't scout, FD would of won that first match still. He had already started his spire prior to scouting. His build was retarded and very late to attack, while i understand the raven was possibly built for the PDD for hydras etc. counter. the banshees should of been built first. I'm guessing he never thought FD would go muta lol. It wasn't just his match vs FD, people are making these comments about his play. Its pretty much his play in the GSL of recent months. Anyway no suprise rain didnt make it, i'm sure a few people had a laugh again. | ||

He played kinda dumb in the LiveForever series but it was more of an unsafe build order given what LiveForever was doing kind of thing rather than continually making bad decisions. I also thought he played quite well against Byun. | ||

This was bound to happen as players fade in and out. maka was nothing special in wc3 (90% of the wc3 community probably had not heard of him) and i think the RTS experience helped him early but either he didnt have the motivation or was left behind by the improvements of other players | ||
