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.

no but it gives points towards WCS, but it is not a direct WCS tournament. And there are plenty of good koreans.
The Korean lineup is pretty underwhelming. 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,
Yes we know you in pain Aeroplaneoverthesea when a foreigner beats a Korean. but no need to shit over there achievement or call the Koreans in this tournament bad. Btw worst day ever for you Aeroplaneoverthesea ?
None of my favourite players are playing in this tournament so I don't really give a shit who wins so no it's neither a good or bad day for me in Sc2 fan terms.
So why are you spamming this thread then if you dont care?
You can enjoy games and not really care who wins. I watch pretty much every Champions League match day even though my team never has and likely never will play in it.
What sad team do you exactly cheer for :<?
Huddersfield Town.
You should try to cheer for a team that is..you know..actually part of the premier league

I wouldn't have bet for Nerchio, ForGG, Thorzain, MC and especially Polt elimination. Some may be heavily jet lag but thats not a excuse obviously. I didn't watch much stream today, i missed a lot.
Yes its nuts. Same position as you trying to find vods hehe

You do know Kespa have an exclusivity deal with MLG involving foreign tournaments, don't you?
That has nothing at all to do with the quality of this lineup. Excuses do not alter the reality.
So you knew that then went ahead and made that post? Okay... so let's edit your quote then.

Naww.. ST Bomber ST Curious Azubu Violet Azubu B4 Azubu Supernova MKP Byun Maru DRG lots of good koreans missing out on this : )
Exactly, so why did he bother naming the Kespa players (who he knew were ineligible) over all the others?

your post makes no sense, he is saying there are many top koreans that are not there, he's not saying he expected them to be there
Err, what? I'm stating it's stupid to question why certain players aren't about when they can't be there through an exclusivity arrangement.

You don't HAVE to root for European but its pretty bad when you ONLY root Korean, and people in EU and NA do nothing but bash your players.
You don't need to all-in to kill Protoss early. You can drop Hellbats and Widow Mines and kill all their workers. And if it doesn't work, transition into a standard game...

Lol @ people who are so desperate for white people to win in tournaments. In what way are any of them 'my guys' because we share the same ethnicity? I'm supposed to root for people who live thousands of miles away from me that I've never seen in my life? And your two achievements are literally the same exact thing, except one focuses on the people who won and the other focuses on the people who lost. Sorry I don't go around high fiving people on a message board and act like it's some personal accomplishment for "my team" because Europeans beat some Koreans.

Lol @ bringing race into a discussion about nationalities.
I'm Italian-American, who in this tournament is my nationality that I should root for? The closest is a Canadian. Besides that, it is race since I'm apparently supposed to also root for Europeans.
