But when better Protoss players, such as Sage, HuK, Hero, YW. play him he usually loses pretty bad. Hes good against MC, but that is usually because MC cuts a lot of corners and polt is good at punishing for that. Again im not saying his TvP is bad, obviously it could be a lot better, and given his daily practice partners its not a shock he left. Check is a good Z, but a bad practice partner because he has his own style. Im not hating on the Prime Team, it just makes a lot of sense why he would leave though. Thats all im saying. Smart decision on Polt's part. | ||

Well, he has certainly left his mark in the esports world. With his tournament winnings he should be able to go through university without being financially stressed. | ||

It was actually named Polt's Timing Attack after he had used it to kill MC in GSL Open 1. You can say that it is a subset of 1/1/1 build, since 1/1/1 is an extremely broad terminology for a build  After that it faded away for awhile before it got modified into today 1/1/1 builds. | ||

Polt didn't strictly invent it in the form it's seen in today, but it's most definitely his bastardized grandchild. He's the one that threw the banshee/raven into the mix, IIRC. | ||

Smart decision on Polt's part. Uh Polt is 19-5 TvP in Liquipedia . In fact he has only dropped 1 game on LAN ( GSL) and that's to SangHo. The other 4 losses came in online tournaments. So unless you manage to spy on his custom game sessions or something , i have no idea how you can conclude that he "usually loses pretty bad" to those people you mentioned. Online is usually a different story from real GSL. | ||

(Especially if he was playing it while the GSL was still ongoing.) Everyone knows Polt plays far better with preparation. | ||

Prime coach 박외식 said "I am thankful to 최성훈 who has been with Prime since Open Seasons, and as he's a player who is dilligent in everything, I have faith that he will continue to be competitive even after he leaves the team" and added “For now I have made this decision believing that respecting 최성훈's opinion is more beneficial, but I hope to keep good relationship withi him and have him back in Prime in the future" As result 최성훈 will not be part of Prime in upcoming 2011 GSL Season 6 Code S which will hold group nomination on 15th. | ||
