HyuN isn't a top Korean? He's tied with Maru & JaeKong for rank 16 in WCS points... and he'll be tied with Rain for #15 once he beats Daisy and reaches the Ro8... lol


You really want to go by wcs points when hyun is farming wcs points from foreign tourneys and wcs na?

Yes. You think consistently getting top 8 at every single top tier foreign tournament is easy?

HyuN is just one of many. If Polt continues to play like this though, he is straight favourite to take WCS America.


As well as Polt is playing, INnoVation is probably the strongest player overall (with a weakness in TvT though). I think Polt played well vs HyuN but would he 3-0 Soulkey?

Painful loss for Hyun, well playerd by Polt. Though i see this a little to much these days.

Seems like as long as you speed boost the medivacs home after all your Marines are dead, Terran trades about twice as efficient as any other race in the game during combats where the enemy doesn't make a mistake, and when the enemy does make a mistake in his army splitting, it's over.

medivacs are useless supply if there is no army left though


Generaly though terran keeps production up even during the attack ? kinda depends on the map aswell ofc and if zerg has any units left to fight with but i would say you need something to kill off medivacs or they simply start to get numbers you can't counter anymore as a zerg.

I got a gut feeling that Daisy is going to knock out Hyun.

Which is why roach/bane/ling will ultimately become unviable as a composition in ZvT. It has no way to punish the medivac count; even in WoL, the exact same problem occurred.

He pretty much does, though. He doesn't leave his house/apartment/place in Texas if he doesn't need to because the weather is too much for him, which means a LOT of StarCraft 2.

man i love polt as much as the next guy, but stuff like this is pure delusion; we'll find out if polt ever manages to qualify to play innovation though

3-0 to soulkey? I don't think so. Might be closer than you thought.

There's no such thing as a top tier foreign tourney competition wise anymore since the introduction of wcs. Europe never had a ton of koreans in their tourneys, so it's status quo there, but last MLG was the weakest level of competition since koreans started playing in them.

So yes, I don't think it's that impressive. A number of the top tier koreans could do the same if given the same opportunities. Foreign tourneys these day consist mainly of just koreans on foreign teams for the most part.

And this is the level of delusion that arises from someone doing well in foreign tourneys, lol. It's a mirage from playing against a lower level of competition.

Consider he hardly has any high level training mate as himself suggested. The results we are seeing is beyond believing.

People said that about Stats, Dear and soO going to MLG, and Polt crushed Dear, and the other two didn't do any better.

It's not "easy farming" what Polt and Hyun are doing. They might not be Innovation level, but they're still playing some of the best SC2 right now in the world.
