Huk using that shit to knock out polt is so weak.


I don't really like Huks playstyle or think highly of him because of it, but he's professional. If he sees his best chances in cheesing, he better does it. He playes to win. I really don't see how its so hard to understand.

He is also super tired and when you only need one match out of three, you cheese. You would do it too. We all would because its is the best way to play.


I would not, but I don't blame him.

You would play a straight up, honorable macro game because it is the honorable way to play and the most respectful. Three of them, right in a row to prove how respectful and talented you are.

Coach Park would not approve.


I would play macro games, because its my style. =]

You should try some two base timings. They are fun. You can feel the shock on their faces through the game and the hesitation of their units, as they see their options in the game quickly fade and all good decisions are removed from their future. Its a special kind of joy.

Yeah he already 2-0d his biggest competition. Leenock should be the heavy favorite

How the hell wasn't he the heavy favorite at the start of the tournament?

Because silly Polt fanboys.


Indeed. Basically a bunch of totally clueless types decided there was more chance of a guy who plays on NA server and has won one LAN event in his entire career (a B class one too in Assembly) winning over a guy who's won two MLG's, an IPL and made another MLG final and is currently training full time in a Korean teamhouse.

Not that I disagree with you, but you get a real kick from provoking people don't you?

Yeah that is pretty much he does all over the LR threads.

Over here we call that 'being a wanker'.
But his username is so amazing.

So... only 2 terrans are through to round of 16 Kas and gumiho (strelok still has a chance to join them).

Center as well

The way the map scores are right now you could see a chance at another round of tiebreakers, so maybe both

If someone can tell me one reason why Polt shouldn't have been ranked highly coming into the tournament, go ahead. He played Life better than Flash did. He beat up Creator twice in HotS. He beat up Hero in HotS. This was all after he started going to school and living in America. He won the Super Tournament while living on his own and out of a team house.

You can certainly argue that Gumiho and Leenock should have been ranked higher, but that's about it.

Wasn't it like more than just Fionn who wrote polt as the favorite? I dunno if that was cuz of fanboyism, at least not for the others.


Eight writers voted. Six had Polt as #1. One had Hero. One had Gumiho.

I am glad everyone is Captain Hindsight currently. Polt was heading into the tournament having wrecked Hero and Creator in HotS and only really losing to Life, the best player in the world, in a close 3-2 series that could have gone either way.



Captain Hindsight is the best predictor of SC2 results. Dominates Liquibets.

No. Sase can go 3-4 at worst.

Well I had Leenock as my second, Gumiho and Polt tied for first
And yes, he most definitely played better than Flash against Life

But we haven't seen Polt's tournament play since MLG, haven't we? So it alsoways was kind of a long shot and that game versus HerO was back in Beta. He was obviously one of the top players at Dreamhack but he always felt overhyped. I'm still sad he went out so early, I really like watching his games but his play versus Huk and Grubby was just not good enough.

Oh come on Fionn, don't be salty. We are just mocking you a little bit in good fun. Everyone here likes Polt too. But it was pretty funny when HuK called you out on Twitter.
