He's a real up-and-comer. His TvT isn't the best, but other than that he's decent. Has a winning record against Scarlett now.

His TvP is also interesting. In the late game he gets neosteel frame and goes mass bunker.

So, Polt and Hydra. Not much of a surprise, though there were some nice surprises on the way there.

That was Levin, who is now unfortunately retired. I remember hearing somewhere that he's a doctor now.

I hope future tournaments are based on citizenship. Polt and Hydra would be the US representatives 99 out of 100 times. Boring. If Koreans are always going to represent us... can we at least pick which Koreans? Can I pick flash and stats? I can't imagine other gaming scenes being like this, yet being alive... If the game somehow grows and there becomes a seed for Argentina, I pick Zest...

As much as I feel that Polt at this point is a fully actualized American, it's still boring to see the same old faces make it out of these qualifiers. Hopefully the NA scene gets more competitive. It was a fun qualifier to watch though with Xenocider pulling out some nice games. Scarlett seriously seems to be slumping and is probably the zerg most affected by the widow mine change since patch.

Its not only wm..scarlett is back in canada and everytime she is back she drop like 2 levels down in play+she have wrist injury and she cant practice much.
+She was of course tired.
But i think she will have zero chance vs polt in next round anyway in her current form.

She's been back in Canada for like 24 hours

Also she was only in Korea for like 24 hours. You can make jet lag johns that are probably reasonable but saying she leveled up over her stay in Korea and now came back down in the great white north is silly

I think he means that she's been in Canada mostly for a while now, aside from a few trips. And this sort of thing happened last year around this time, where she had a noticeable drop off in play. Hopefully she bounces back, but I'm not sure how many bounce-backs she has left in her.
