They were pitted in anything from ASUS ROG, MLG, and online tournaments and provided some amazingly high level and intense games all around. | ||

Polt thumped Stephano at ASUS ROG, Stephano wrecked Polt at LSC. The MLG games were okay, but for me it's not that great. | ||

I wasn't around for the Polt Stephano era but I imagine it's similar. | ||

Well that rivalry just sucks because Bomber loses in depressing fashion at Red Bull and that's the one everyone talks about for months. Was an exciting end for Scarlett fans though | ||
