I predict Polt 3-2. Should be a scrappy, tight set, though.

They're gonna ask about the PR if Polt wins and I'm gonna get a lot of hate <<

Shouldn't have ranked him so low then xd

There's no way you can really argue for Polt top 3 outside of 'he wins a lot, so he'll win here'.. which.. ehh, it's an argument, but then I'd have to put Lilbow top 10 if not top 8 which is obviously wrong #4, though, probably.

NO WAY????? whaaaaat...

I would definitely make the "he wins a lot, he'll win here" argument, for all the talk about SC2's inconsistency, there are actually very few players with multiple major tournament wins, and pretty much all of them are considered among the very best players to have ever touched the game. Also, Polt won Catz's online tournament vs sOs, who won IEM.

So, MLord, Drogo, Hydra, and Nerchio. They are the 4 players you ranked ahead of Polt.

Hydra I would rank above Polt. Those other 3, I would not.

Koreans kill each other, EU archon finishes them off and goes to the finals.

Depends on the Koreans, actually. Top Koreans could still win 1vArchon, but WCS Koreans would probably not. There was that one Chinese team league that allowed for 1vArchon matches, ByuN won most of them.

Two random players together would probably hilariously loose. An arranged archon of even NA pros trained together is physically unbeatable in one person.

The fairest thing would be to play a quad NA-archon, a EU archon and then solo Koreans

Realistically I would agree with you. Randoms archoning vs a Korean would be amazing to watch though.

But the thing is, I'm not ranking based on "he wins a lot, he'll win here". You could, hypothetically, but I didn't. Because that isn't exciting, at all. Based on the results they displayed- Polt has objectively worse NA results than Hydra. Polt's significantly more sporatic than MarineLorD/Nerchio. I valued the consistency shown by Nerchio/MarineLorD over him, Iv valued Hydra's head-to-head and in-region performance over him, and I valued PtitDrogo a little too heavily in general due to his Leipzig performance. How is that incorrect?

NA is so extra topheavy that adding more players to the archon would do more damage than good imo
