TSL @TSL_korea
Polt, Symbol, and Inori are ready to fight in the MLG Open bracket!! Polt will also participate in the Lone Star Clash!!
TSL will be sending three of it's best players to MLG Columbus to battle in the Open Bracket. Including recent Winter Assembly champion Polt, the strongest Zerg on TSL, Symbol, and the PvP master himself, Inori.
Looking forward to seeing how they do at Columbus and good for TSL for continuing to send their players to foreign tournaments. Hopefully we see other Korean teams to follow the trend and send their top players to MLG as well. Shaping up to be a stacked tournament once again with lots of Koreans going.

Seeds were given out at the MLG Winter Arena. Polt didn't qualify for that tournament...

Symbol is an absolute monster. I look forward to what he can bring.
|
Gogo polt~
Tear through the open bracket and win!
MLG getting more and more stacked every event now
|
this will be fun 
|
Argh, why must I be unable to attend this?! Hate it that Ohio is so far away...
Will have to catch the stream or VoDs....
|
very nice. want more korean zergs.
|
Cool, best of luck to them but it will definitely be tough to break the open brackets now that the prize pool has increased.
|
Oh yay Symbol :D
Gl to TSL
|
wow this is really nice, I hope the TSL players can have a strong showing at this event, especially Symbol!
|
man its going to be another packed MLG. cant wait to see who goes to anaheim
|
Symbol is the most underrated zerg in Korea, he is just amazing.
|
|
|
If he goes 40-1 this time, maybe, just maybe he'll get one broadcasted ^^
Gogo Polt, hopefully they'll all tear up the open bracket

Polt qualified for Assembly so he wasn't able to compete in the Winter Arena qualifiers.

this is wrong, in an interview at assembly with polt, he said he didnt even attempt to qualify for mlg because he was already qualified for assembly.......
|
Sick! Will be fun to see Polt tear up the open bracket. Dunno why they picked Inori though. Is it cos he was on Reign before or cause they want 1T/1Z/1P? I'd rather have seen Revival over him tbh. :/

inori is good , in ipl3 he did amazing, beating players like huk and mc effortlessly while coming out of the open bracket and placed quite high until he ran into stephano. I see no reason why coach lee wouldnt want to send them if not for the experience alone, He believes in them that they have what it takes

polt top 5 ... im calling it
|
Polt and Symbol gonna tear it up.

what he said implied as if polt tried to qualify and got knocked out, i wanted to set the record straight and say he did not even attempt to qualify.

lol well one of the last 4 spots in lonestar is polt
|
This Polt guy, I heard hes doing quite well lately where did he come from?! :p
|
Polt is going to destroy at MLG! hes such a beast.
Never really liked Symbol's playstyle/strategies at all. Imo he wont go far in MLG.
|
Polt had a 22-0 run at MLG Orlando.
He's on top form right now, so he'll probably just take the whole thing. Fuck the seeds, go Polt!
MKP vs. Polt finals, please.
|
Awesome. Die-hard fan of Polt and Symbol is fast becoming my favourite Zerg.
|
Oh.. man Can you guys feel the HYPEEEE.
Columbus is gonna be so sick!
|
So happy to see Polt and symbol going. It's a great chance for symbol to show how good he is.
|
Polt at more foreigner events= more gosu english interviews! hell yeah!

Was really hoping Polt would go, I want to meet that sick nerd baller so bad.
|

|
Gogo Polt! Last time he made a pretty sick run through the loser's bracket and open bracket.

There no shame in not making through that bracket. Top players like MMA didn't even make it. In the end it doesn't matter, everyone knows Polt is good
|
Gogo Polt! Hope he wins it!
|
Way to step up teams other than Slayers. I think with 76k up for grabs this years MLG's will be a who's who of Code S players.
Polt has been playing stupid good lately, glad to see his team is stepping up and supporting him
|
Yeah!!
Symbol was amazing in IRONSQUID Qualifier #1, he is a freaking great player !
Inori and Polt fightin' too. gogo TSL !!

Symbol's PvZ is pretty unique, i recommend you watch his game vs IMSeed in GSTL, his unit composition was ultra/bling drops/hydra, it was very fun to watch. But i kinda agree that he wont go far due to the overwhelming amount of code S players.

Guess we can expect no Polt games to be streamed when starts beasting up the open bracket :D
|
Omg Polt! I'm so stoked for this event!

Clide was actually supposed to go to dreamhack for TSL last year, but then he left the team.

Polt is gonna rip through the open brackets!

Absolutely fantastic news, I wish all the TSL line-up the best of luck, but especially Polt for delivering some of the most fantastic and mind boggling good game so far out of 2012.

Inori has had some great success due to his extremely solid PvP.

Polt is going to do very well at MLG I cannot wait! TSL fighting!
|
After watching a lot of Polt's stream recently, I love watching him play. It's great to see players like these make it out to big name tournaments and get featured. All the best to him.

Polt fighting!, became one of my favourite Terrans at Assembly then on his stream today he was listening to ff9 music!! :DDd

So how does that make it wrong? He didn't qualify, whether he actually attended the online qualifiers doesn't really matter. Only way to get into championship bracket is through the arena, polt decided to not try to qualify for that so he starts in the open bracket, as simple as that and the reason why he didn't go to the arena doesn't matter at all.
Good to hear that TSL is able to sent 3 players, seems like things are finally brightning up for the team.

Makes me happy ^^
Polt especially gonna be knocking heads!

He's gotten himself a large foreign fanbase, and doesn't need to worry about the GSL and GSTL now. We will be seeing Polt in a lot of foreign events. Besides this, he also qualified for NASL Season 3 and IPL 4, so he will be participating in all 3 of NA's major tournaments.
|
Will MMA attend MLG?
Because if he is he got trolled hard
|
Polt does need a seed, but I understand why he doesn't have one of course. =P I hope he does well in the open bracket!!
|
All three of those players are so handsome.

2012 is so gunna be Polt's year!

Symbol needs more attention, because this guy beat TaeJa 3-0 in esvtv korean weekly.

I would also like that to ^^

Thats cool

I find Polt extremely overrated, but eh, good luck to him and his teammates.

Time for foreigners to step it up and take these kids out. It can be done!

Hahahaha saw the title "Polt, Symbol and Inori t…" on the sidebar and thought those 3 left TSL. Can't imagine TSL surviving something like that. Anyhow, good to see Polt in more foreign tournaments, but also good to finally see Symbol as well.

The poorest team in korea that also was the first korean sc2 team that gave salaries to its players and was also the first that actually got sponsorship? Don't you recall the G.Skill commercials when watching GSL? TSL is pretty well off.

There is no Assembly/MLG seed program. The only way you can get seeded in an MLG is by qualifying for the Arena. Top 16 of the Arena get pool play, bottom 16 get seeded deep into the open bracket.

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.

Cool, will be awesome seeing them there

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.

Yep results wise he deserves to be considered God tier. God tier terrans include MVP and MMA. Like the other two, they have GSL's and more to back it up.

How many games in a row will polt have to win to get one stage match at MLG ?

When you give out something like God-tier so easily, it completely loses meaning. No one, not MVP, MMA, MC or Nestea, has attained God-tier in SC2, and definitely not Polt. He's good, but definitely not God-tier.
|
I agree with you. God-tier does not yet exist. Now that there is a much more difficult format for GSL it will be much much harder to win multiple GSLs.
|
I wonder how TSL can afford this? Never can understand that team... they seem on the brink of falling apart so often, now they can afford to send three of their players internationally?
|
Very glad for those players, they deserve it very much. Especially Polt, for he is such a good player and all. I really hope that he will be able to break through the open brackets so that we can see him fight his way to the title of MLG Columbus champion.

I think you're thinking BW Bonjwa. That level of dominance will probably never happen in sc2, but we know for sure that those terrains deserve a tier of their own.

Don't call them God tier, call them S-caliber or something. Right now the only person I could somewhat justify calling "God" would be Flash, simply because how dominant he has been (with his recent loss to Dear, now people are even starting to call him mortal).

Gogo Polt! He deserves it.
And Symbol! About time he got into the big leagues! Expect him to trash the scene!

I wonder how TSL can afford this? Never can understand that team... they seem on the brink of falling apart so often, now they can afford to send three of their players internationally?
I have a feeling that coach lee is a well connected guy, because of his heavy background in esports.

He also owns a few PC Bangs that bring in a pretty good amount.
Not to mention TSL has a pretty good list of sponsors.

About the sponsors, 95% of their sponsors from last year seem to be gone? (No patches except thehandsomenerd.com on their jerseys).

Well, I'm excited about one these.

Polt deserves a seed =X Seeds were given out at the MLG Winter Arena. Polt didn't qualify for that tournament... this is wrong, in an interview at assembly with polt, he said he didnt even attempt to qualify for mlg because he was already qualified for assembly.......
Which means he didn't qualify...I didn't apply for the job, but I am still not the manager of England.

ugh hate how Inori wins a few pvps in a few weeks time and he is known as PvP master :\
besides that can't wait to see Symbol and Polt show their skills!!!!!!!!!!
|
really looking forward to seeing how Symbol does! 
|
TSL....POOLLLLTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!
|
Gogogo Symbol!
And I remember watching Inori playing in IPL3, doing awesomely. If there's no zerg matches on, he's definitely on the top of my list.

I have a feeling Inori is gonna tear it up

Pretty excited to see Symbol play. That guy has a really interesting play style. I love watching ex-brood war pros play.
