It's been some months since the dust settled from Korea's last fray into the North American Collegiate scene. Determined to show their skill, the Korean Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) reached out to challenge their North American collegiate counterparts, and the University of California Berkeley stepped up to the challenge. On July 10th, these two schools battled it out in a no holds barred best of 9 allkill match. KAIST drew first blood that day, and quickly jumped to a 3-0 lead. Bloodied but not yet deterred, UC Berkeley threw out their leader Conan "Suppy" Liu to hold the line against the Korean onslaught. Suppy proceeded to dismantle each and every opponent thrown at him, and in the end UC Berkeley proved their worth with a 5-3 victory over KAIST.
Stung by the defeat, the Koreans withdrew back to their own server...and bidded their time for their next offensive. Now, a new challenger has stepped up to the plate to avenge the honor of their fallen compatriots and assert their dominance. The Seoul National University eSports team, boasting the likes of TSL_Polt on their roster, have issued a challenge to the University of California Berkeley Starcraft 2 team. The Berkeley team is no small threat, headed by team leader and new Evil Geniuses member Suppy, and a strong corp of players behind his back. Yet even so, the task will be an immense one to overcome.
Once again the lines will be drawn on the battlefield, as the North American and Korean collegiate scenes clash once more.

Hate to get this into some back and forth argument, but I think Polt should win because his TvZ is pretty strong, while Suppy's can be lacking sometimes.

If Polt actually plays, then Berkley is dead.

This has got to be the most onesided thing I've ever seen in my life.

Honestly Polt is just one player, I think as the KAIST showmatch showed the average Korean college player isn't necessarily at semipro/code B level and Suppy is definitely more than a match for them. Not everyone on the team is Polt. Also cross server lag and all that.
Really excited to see this, are you guys going to have a viewing party for this one? I keep wanting to go to CSL (E@B lol) stuff and I never end up showing up but this would be pretty cool to go to and there's a chance I might be free.

We'll see, it'll depend a bit on whether Polt is actually on the lineup or not. KAIST wasn't actually that strong, and if I understand it correctly, SNU is not as big of a tech school as KAIST. At least in the US, generally the tech schools are the strongest in SC.

I actually don't know if Polt will be playing

Another contact from Korea. The captain of Seoul National University's esport team contacted me and asked to have a match between us. They said 'Polt'!! will also join. Suppy, did you get any msg or email from this guy? Anyway, let's do it!
