The usual: Don't flame casters or players. Don't discuss balance in this or any LR thread. Don't call your fellow posters idiots. Be excited, happy and entertained.

Do you know how jetlag works? It may be 3pm kr time now, which means he's been up all day during the time he should normally be asleep.

Exactly. Terran is doing well, Protoss is doing OK, and Zerg is struggling.
The tournament had 9 Korean Terrans, 6 Korean Protoss, and 2 Korean Zergs.
This is not a coincidence, and the only race that is imba is Korea
Eh, don't want to go into balance talk, but it was like that for a reason. IIRC, 0 Korean Zergs qualified and LIfe/Leenock were seeded in.
But the qualifiers were during the Hellbat drop week which Blizzard patched pretty darn fast once everyone brought it to their attention. I saw games that were literally won off the first 4 hellbats + medivac.
one change does not invalidate all those games, it's not like every game was a hellbat drop come on now.
You must not have watched those games
Actually I did watch a few .
Pointless to keep arguing though, let's see if life can beat a mid-tier korean terran.
Mid tier?
Polt has been the most consistent top level Korean pro outside of MVP for the entirety of SC2. He always shows up, always puts up good results and somehow ALWAYS keeps improving.
You cannot call him mid tier, he's way better than that.
Theres tons of terran who can do what he does only better.
Only so much weight you can put on WoL stats right now when we're in a new expansion and Polt is one of the most adaptive and innovative Terrans in the scene.
His play has been stellar all tournament. He DOMINATED Creator who is #3 on TLPD and the top Protoss in the world which according to pure TLPD stats if you went only on them should never have happened.

....Did you just say Zerglings are better against Siege Tanks?
Better than Roaches that take bonus damage and are way slower.
Lings are 4x as clumped and die in less hits even without bonus damage.
