Rain broke the curse already.
Anyway, chance that Zest won't get at least one SKT T1 guy in Ro16 is little, considering that SKT T1 are almost 50% :D

You don't think Polt could make it over these lower tier Protoss and Zerg like Paralyze, Tails, Ragnarok, etc.? Not saying he'd necessarily be a contender to win it all but I think he could at least get to Code S pretty easily. | ||

Even when he's arguably the most successful Terran of the the last year he still manages to be underrated. It's truly remarkable. | ||

I do know that that was an understatement. Just don't like that kind of rethorical stuff because it destroys a constructive discussion. I understand your point, but I still think that neither me or you are "plain wrong" at any point. It's just a matter of opinion. I see things this way, you see it your way. Take Mvp as an example: yes, he dropped out of Ro32 just now, but before, he won 4 GSLs, WCS EU. Nestea: totally washed out, but managing to play WCS AM Premier over and over again. Idra couldn't do that. As for Stephano: still Premier leagues, tournament appearences with a regular potential of upsets due to his unique and somewhat abusive playstyle, which also means success. Or, as we have here: Innovation. Dominating for a time, now still being successful by potentially going into Ro16 in Code S. ToD: being a not-so-great, but somehow consinstent EU protoss. Take Nerchio: after being referred to over and over again as a patchzerg and being known for being a top-notch foreign zerg, he still manages to play WCS premier, in the I guess weakest region, EU. All of them might have their respective limits, but they try to overcome them over and over again, while IdrA at some point didn't even try and blamed everything on the game. That's why I say he's not a successful player! Do you really think he would've parted ways with StarCraft if he considered himself being a successful player, being in a comfort zone while having to do with that game? Maybe I should state that I'm not only talking about achievements, but also about the stuff that makes you a decent, solid player with a reputation of being able to win stuff. IdrA wasn't able to win stuff after 2011, absolutely not. While other players considered once to be "the best" (eg naniwa at IEM, or Stephano in LSC, or Scarlett pretty much anywhere) are always considered to win it, because it is known that they are (speaking of naniwa, were) absolutely willing to do so, willing to overcome their limits. Simplified, that text wall is an explanation of why I call IdrA unsuccessful, and after reading it, you might understand why I do not agree to call him that. | ||

And Polt's ability against Zergs nowdays, considering general level of Korean Z is arguable as well.

He always tries to end with an optimistic note when he goes on these kinds of mini rants, even if they aren't true at least from what I've noticed. | ||
