not sure if he is top 3, but top 5 for sure and it has been so for quite some time

WOW Polt staying in the states between lone star and MLG? Gives him time to recover from jet lag.

Polt won the biggest Starcraft tournament of all-time and also has made various trips deeps in GSL tournaments, was Code S for an entire year, and made another semifinal besides his Super Tournament win. He's always been a top Terran. He trailed off after switching to TSL, but he's becoming a beast again lately.

No reason not to. Even if he gets a Code S seed (he should), the GSL Code S doesn't start until the 27th or so. He might miss Code A qualifiers due to staying in the States, so I think this might be a clue he might actually have some notice he's in the running for a Code S/Up-and-Down/Code A seed.

Glad to see more solid Korean players going to international events. Polt's aggressive style makes for entertaining games. TSL must've sold a lot of shirts on thehandsomenerd in order to afford it.

Let's not speculate too much about the seeds. I doubt the seeds are finalized given that the IEM WC, a major tournament has yet to be played. Sure Polt is a strong contender but there are a lot of factors going into play when deciding seeds, and it is best not to preemptively award Polt the seed.

Didn't the three open seasons have the same 1st place prize? Maybe the conversion rate was just more favorable during Super Tournament.

GSL Open Seasons gave out roughly $87,500 for first place.

Right, if you convert it to USD. They are all still 100 million KRW.

God tier terrans include MVP and MMA. Like the other two, they have GSL's and more to back it up.
