If Dark can get roflstomped by inno it's not worth nerchio's time to even play him

Dark put up one hell of a fight, and was dead even for Inno most of the first game. Second he had a brief advantage but blew it. He didn't get roflstomped by Inno, he's the only Zerg who doesn't.


Yeah, I'm guessing he just looked at the 2-0 score if he thought that was a roflstomp


I saw the games when they happened and Dark put up a good fight but it was just never enough. If they played a bo7 instead of bo3 it would have been a 4-1 at best. At least at that point

Polt didn't have KeSPA. He still doesn't, he's retired and he's still playing really well on his streams. If he tried he can probably still beat most foreigners.

avilo also wins a lot on his stream!

Polt was no where near as good as the top Kespa players though, not for a last few years anyway

To be fair I've been mainly absent the last couple years, but besides that one neeb Kespa cup run has anyone ever thought the best foreigners were on the level of the absolute top Koreans? Pretty sure that's never been arguable, ever. Even during neebs Kespa cup victory.

Pretty sure its more like are the top foreigners capable of consistently beating code s players in general.

Nerchio getting roflstomped in his worst matchup by the best protoss doesn't really change that, and we've seen good performances from uthermal, Showtime, and nerchio earlier.

Through 2015 he was pretty damn close to them. Not GSL champion level maybe but definitely like Ro8.

Not only that. Just because there are no teamhouses anymore doesn't mean that the benefit from learning the game in one is completely gone now. That logic makes zero sense.

Heard a story that Rain swore Polt was a God after barely beating him at Blizzcon.

Foreigners are definitely better than in 2014-2015 whether it's because they got better or because koreans got worse is arguable.
But still, the very top players (Inno, Dark, Stats, Byun etc. are in a class of their own.

It's just because Terran was litterally BL/infestor

You think? He would just about win against foreigners/koreigners. just about. If he was in GSL I can't see him getting past ro16

Nah. 2015 Polt was pretty weak all year (his WCS win was somewhat out of nowhere) and then at Blizzcon he was suddenly on the same level as Rain.
Every 60 seconds in Africa, a minute passes.
