The EG curse? and also maybe Jinro -- who has been in Korea for a while now yet doesnt seem to be moving up much. I think Jinro is rising up again, he was really really close to qualify for code A last preliminaries if I remember it correctly, and last weeks 3rd place in the EWM, after beating players like Sound and Jjun is impressive imo | ||

The Sen and Idra invites had to be given around a time when there wasn't much in terms of tournaments. In the initial announcement of the seeds it always looked like the plan was to give it to players with recent tournament success There were quite some tournaments in the last quarter of 2011 actually, if they went purely by results Hero or Puma would've gotten a Code S spot over Sen, because they had much better results(atleast one first and one second place finish at Dreamhack and NASL2). IEM Kiev, IEM Sao Paulo, WCG and HSC4 were also in the last 2 months and could be considered. € @ Agnosthar I think he means that Polt's win in the group stages didn't matter but MMA's win in the tiebreaker did, which is wrong. Both games mattered the same amount, without the win in the group stages the tiebreaker would'nt have ocuured. | ||

That said, I do hope that he manages to qualify again. | ||

Hopefully he will come through next time, although luck of the draw plays such a big part in Code B. Would be nice to see his chin of pure manliness again. :D | ||

 There's some kind of foreigner curse on the GSL which causes them to underperform. I know Morrow is better than this, probably nerve issues... I still believe in Naniwa and Sase though, I hope they invite them next season. | ||

Back when IdrA/HuK/Jinro were Code S I don't think the competition was quite as hard as it is now also. | ||

Anyways, sad to see Polt drop to Code B. Just wondering if his health had anything to do with it....(he was sick, right?) | ||

Really bummed about Polt but damn, Creator's pretty good. I'm not too worried about Polt though, he'll probably get reseeded with Assembly Winter. Also super sad about asd. | ||

Just wondering if his health had anything to do with it....(he was sick, right?) Polt played fine, really. The games were pretty much decided by the builds. Game One - POLT FAST EXPAND. CREATOR GATE FIRST STALKER PRESSURE. Polt can't get bunker up, Stalkers walk in, stop the quick expand, and then Creator double expands behind it. Game over. Game Two - Polt expands behind three rax. CREATOR GOES FOR IMMORTAL BUST! Bust fails, Polt holds and counter attacks with better teach. Game over. Game Three - Polt, seeing that Creator went for two quick pushes, TURTLES HARD! Gets on two base and bunkers up. Sadly, Creator goes for a quick third and has no army for a few minutes. If Polt attacks during this window, it's gg and Polt wins. But Creator had scared Polt into thinking a pressure or some sort of timing would hit, so Polt wanted to play a long macro game. Creator's third gets up, he goes up to five/six gates and goes in for a death timing that Polt can't handle. None of the games really showed off the skill of the player. Game one did get into the mid game, but Creator was already so far in the lead due to the double expanding and stopping Polt's mining at his natural, it was just an a-move with higher tech against Polt's bio. | ||

Just wondering if his health had anything to do with it....(he was sick, right?) I mean they play a LOT better on the KR ladder/ other events. Recent example Morrow beating Puma and Leenock. I really think there's a lot of pressure playing live in the GSL, which causes foreigners not to play their best. Even Huk and Jinro were very nervous in their best Code S runs. | ||
