If someone could log on EU and check HerO's or Zenio's match history, that would be great.

I have no problem with someone saying they would have ranked Leenock over Polt coming into the tournament, but it's silly to see Polt have a few bad games and people treating him like he shouldn't have been ranked in the top twenty.
but he lost to Lord INnoVation, the Flash of SC2, the greatest terran to ever walk the face of the sc2 earth, #1 TvZ, godsend of STX SouL I bet Symbol will kick his ass again if they meet. Not going to happen. Bogus has played SC2 for more than 3 months now.  oh, you people

That's domination right there In all seriousness, people looked at Yoda tearing through IEM and forgot that it was a new game

I'm really pleased to see CoCa & Puzzle both make it into the RO16. Now I just hope in the following days we get equally good news about CoCa finding a team as we got about Puzzle.
