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.

And how many players here have tournament games played since MLG, exactly? Current favorite Leenock has very mediocre GSTL play and bombing out of his GSL group. Is that the kind of tournament play you are referring to?

Of course no one would be surprised if Leenock or Gumiho won the thing. Leenock is a beast and a foreign tournament monster, Gumiho looks to be in good form and his play style suites the weekend format. That doesn't mean Polt wasn't also a favorite to win (read A favorite, unlike that troll idiot who has now moved the goalposts to "the" favorite).

Not only is the Super Tournament ancient history in terms of Sc2 he also won it by basically studying his opponents playstyles and then abusing them like crazy.

His playstyle now is the complete reverse of then and the skills he used to win the Super Tournament are not applicable to a weekend LAN style event.

Leenock is the best and most successful weekend LAN style player in Sc2 history.

Stop talking about shit you know nothing about, go back to your cave.

Leenock still has that KR practice backing him up, none of his games have even been close.

I'd be surprised if he doesn't win this.

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.

You have no clue . It's fucking hilarious . :D

ur stupid go away

Righto then chaps. Polt definitely was more likely to win than Leenock, man you guys are so smart.

Totes.

Anyway, how do you feel about On Avery Island?

Song Against Sex is a cool song, but they're really just a one amazing album band (+ Engine).

I would say DRG still takes that title. But I see your point
