Anyone else legitimately feel bad for Polt? That kind of awkward first series could mess with his whole mindset going into the next series. Nothing like winning a series in the Ro16 to start your momentum. Now he starts the Ro8 with no momentum.

I feel worse for Hasuobs tbh, but Polt must feel pretty weird now ? No idea how else you could describe it

Haha went to the shop, series over. What a joke performance from Naniwa, deserves booing.

BUT maybe he was obliged by his alliance contract to go to the tournament even if he really did not want to?

No builds were exposed in what looks like to be a TvP tournament, I would pay for a situation like that!

It does kind of suck, but Polt has time to just accept that (for him) he was handed a gift of a series and can just prepare for his next one. Plus he didn't have to show any of his vP builds

why would it matter much when he has been practicing for this for so long?

holy subtle troll


This guy isn't actually a troll he's just a really bad poster with weird ideas. He likes to defend protoss against whiners which is good and then cry about terran in his next post.

Troll or not he has a point that you can agree with or not.
If I was Naniwa I would have done pretty much something similar (probably I would have been way smarter that this, but heh).
Probably that makes me a bad person, but I guess that my reason would be bashed by anyone here...

In any case, like Naniwa pointed out
ive given my life and soul to starcraft 3 years and then the second i dont like it at the moment i get so much flak, LOL this communtiy <3

Not really defending him, but sometimes this community feels too self entitled.



We would've sent him off with cheers had he played the series legitimately and lost. Or even if he forfeited the tournament and retired quietly, though less so. This was hugely irresponsible though.

You already know that people going on with criticism would have popped out nevertheless, be it because he didn't train for a month or whatever.
Not that you are wrong, in any case.

There would be WAYYYYY less criticism if he had just played it out as well as he could.

So, question, are they streaming any part of the ro8 to make up for making the stupid absolutely idiotic decision to not stream Rogue vs Life/Oz vs sOs?

I'm pretty bitter about this still.

That's one way to look at it, other is that he only needs 3 matches to get 100k$ xD

I jwant Naniwa to come on the stage and just fucking smash his keyboard on the ground and challenge the entire field to a battle royal where he can only play with his mouse.

On the bright side its fortunate for Polt that he does not have to reveal his TvP prepared builds yet.

I thought he handled it pretty well. He was just like "well I gotta play TvP every round anyways" and kind of laughed it off

I don't know. Now they know he has a proxy gate counter build...

So much bullshit here, there is literally nobody in this thread at all, who would of given up the chance of playing in a 100k tournament that you qualified for.

I'm not saying his actions weren't shitty, but this is just so pathetic you all saying 'he should of just given up or given his spot to someone else' there is every chance he believed he could of had a great first game and then rediscovered some of the passion (since I don't think it's tournaments as the reason why he doesnt want to play anymore).

Let's stop bullshitting here, you would all of done the same thing, even if you didn't care for the game anymore.
