I was in those LR threads, telling people it was too early to criticize terran since we only had a few games played, maybe don't try to rewrite history when I was a part of it? I don't remember the terran dominance just alot of whine and im pretty sure terran where not winning abnormly much at all. Please prove me wrong. | ||

Polt (150) Other (132) NaNiwa (127) Grubby (102) GuMiho (99) Stephano (97) Leenock (82) Jaedong (81) MC (71) HerO (63) ForGG (60) ThorZaIN (36) Nerchio (25) 1125 total votes Your vote: Who will win DreamHack Stockholm? (Vote): MC Uh yeah, that's why I called it an upset? And 145 people do not represent "most people", and Naniwa was second place in that poll with 110 votes. Leenock and Gumi were always the favorites, with Polt being up there due to recent results. Sorry to rain on the parade but it's not like this is stacked with top Koreans who are getting destroyed. | ||

There's some great Koreans here sure but there's a fuck load not here, namely all the Kespa ones plus Life, Taeja and Symbol, | ||

I'm not aware of his reasons for doing so, but it doesn't seem to have done anything beneficial for his SC2 career. He can't even practice on the Korean server properly because of lag and must now ladder against players who, a couple of months ago, were significantly below his skill level. Disappointing to see such a talented player go out of a tournament like this so early. Give Polt a break it can happen for everyone. Starcraft 2 is not black and white alot of shit can happen.

People forget that Polt moved to the US partially because of studies...you know so that he can actually have another reliable source of income once SC2 stops being profitable for him? | ||
