To be fair the level of Code A has vastly risen in the last 2-3 GSLs. Most of the mediocre Code S players are now in Code A, and Code S has barely any weak players anymore. | ||

The fact that Hero has survived elimination from Code A suggests that he belongs there. But his recent poor play, starting with the Blizzard Cup, is troubling for Hero's chances of remaining in Code A. But Hero was utterly destroyed by Polt today. | ||

I'm not sure if you can even call that "poor play", considering that Hero was never a top tier player in Korea. | ||

To be fair, he defeated DRG to qualify to CodeA and droped out and then he managed to qualify again and this is impressive. And last season he did manage to make it to the up and down. I feel like Hero needs to learn sth from Mc's experience. When Mc was playing tournaments non stop, he found himself started to fall behind. And look at Mc now, after the MLG providence, he cancel dreamhack so that he could focus on blizz cup. And after HSC, he only concentrates on gsl. He is having a holiday in Korea while hero is still flying all over the world. | ||

I mean, lots of it | ||

Totally agree on this, when i watch his stream i cant believe how slow it looks...and somehow he completely dominates all his games and defends everything thrown at him | ||

He has good knowlege on this game. I watch his stream sometimes and compare to Mc's, he is slow enough. But he can defeat Mc. As a Mc fan, I have to say Polt is really good at this game. | ||

I was referring to the fact that he got knocked out in the group stages in HSC 4 and IEM Kiev. While he has never been a top Korean player, he at least was dominant against foreigners last year. Now it seems he cannot even beat them consistently. | ||

I think that's less indicative of his skill level and more indicative of the fact that the guy plays so much with foreigners that they kind of know of his style more and more as they had to prepare for him more. | ||

Losing to Violet (one of the best ZvPs outside of Korea) and Nerchio (ditto) is not bad at all. Barely not making it out of his group because of a PvP and a somewhat BO loss is not terrible either. If this trend continues then we can determine whether it's a personal slump or an indication of decaying skill.

There are still plenty of upsets but now they feel like legitimate showings of skill rather than luck. | ||

Look at the way he's been knocked out instead of results. He made a bunch of mistakes and build order choices. Nobody figured out his style. | ||

That's true of the games against Feast. But I feel like zerg players like Violet and Nerchio are better at dealing with his kind of harass, along with a few other players that while didn;t defeat him, still took a game or two off him. Not saying his style is figured out, just saying it's not as effective. I mean... I don't see him doing sentry drops or stuff like that to AS great effect as before. | ||
