For now I think Katowice and that planned Korean tournament? I don't think Katowice counts as a Tier 1 either because of the way of which you get to play at the tournament 25% of Top 16 players need to be open to global audience. With three region free online qualifier and 2 open bracket spots they meet that requirement.

I think Polt expects it, though... interview yesterday he talked about playing with the assumption that the Protoss knows where his army is at all times through using many observers, since he can't kill them all. So he plays such that it doesn't matter, the Protoss still gets pulled multiple directions.
That's some top shelf Polt right there.

The power of perception!

I don't really think the supply count is so macro-indicative against a race who can warp as much troops as they have gate instantly. I mean Rain could get 30+ supplies in a sec.

these two players are so evenly skilled, loving it even without much actions going on, so tense
