Wow, any miniscule chance Prime had of winning the GSTL just went out the window.

The guy is a gosu and a super committed student. He's studying Law and probably wants to be on a more relaxed schedule so he does well in his final exams. Also he has a big decision ahead of him regarding whether or not he continues to play competitively given that he's got a great career ahead of him potentially. I have to respect him for making the choice that was right for him. I don't know if that means he won't rejoin Prime.We if he makes a decision, but you never know.

This is kind of a crazy time of the year given that it's roughly 1 year after SC2 got started. Especially at the moment there would have been a lot of players on 1 year deals or close enough that a lot of them are reevaluating their options, as there teams also probably are as well. It's not surprising to see so many switches and dismissals at this point given how young the game is. I think that at this time next year it might be somewhat similar (or possibly a little crazier), but as the scene evolves and players are more tied to their contracts/teams the craziness might subside and there will be fewer moves going on.

Your opinion is incorrect

You mean, he is not glad?


Yes, exactly


No I think I am glad.

i'd leave Prime too, the only thing hes really good at is TvT, and thats because he has MKP as a practice partner. Kind of hard to excel at the game when the Z/P's you face are twice as good as your practice partners.

I have a feeling hes going to IM or Startale.

Prime is a great team, but come one... ST and IM are ridiculous.

Shame for Prime, but maybe Polt will land on a good team after his studies. Best of luck to him!

If that's what it takes for him to stop calling himself optimus then so be it.

That's what most people thought about TSL when Puma/FD/Trickster left.

Nooooooo, Polt.

Hope he doesn't become less gosu for not having a team. Good luck to him. Man.

Are you kidding me? Polt has the best TvP in the world. The only "average" match-up he has is TvZ.

Actually Check is a really good zerg now, beasting it up on ladder and did amazing in the up and downs. BboongBboong is pretty good too, but for protoss they are kinda weak (MKP is their strongest toss LOL)
Don't let those anti-cheese advocates tell you what to do. Rush to meet life head on!

Not only did you not finish this post, it wasn't even right. Polt's TvP is unarguably top 2, arguably the best in the world.

Never was fan of any Prime player in general and Polt in particular. They seem all cheesy to me. Even MKP has a lot of games that finish too soon.

Still though, props for doing well in SC2 while studying. Hopefully, it is not detrimental to his school.

u clearly dunno what is the meaning of cheese.

So how come when Major left/was released from SixJax it wasn't on the headlines on TL's front page but when Polt left Prime, then it was listed? I know Major doesn't have the best of reputations but I'm not sure why this double standard/preferential treatment exists.
