While i won't put money on Polt winning Mlg, he is solid enough to get high up there. wouldn't be complimenting taeja for his macro haha, he floats thousands randomly in game. probably a better comparison would be bomber or mkp, who both have pretty sick macro | ||

He's going to have to maintain his focus and keep his fundamentals strong. Sure and normally I'd be like" well he is protoss so some random na guy will pvp him out" but tbh rain may be the only guy who actually understands pvp. I think he'll do fine, it's very rare for a kespa player to be able to go to their coach and get to an event like this, I think he knows what to expect and he wants to win really badly. | ||

I competed in MLG raleigh and day one took almost 6 hours. and then day 2 took almost 9 till I was done( i didnt even make it through all of saturday before being elimed)... And its not easy getting food and staying focused from match to the next, especially when all my matches ran long and didnt get much of any break in the end. I say this because people underestimate the amount of strain an event like this and what players go through to make that attempt to fight it out of that open bracket. Im hoping rain prepared for something grueling like that, as I really want him to go deep in this. Same with all the other tosses like SSON and MC. Been watching SSON's stream alot and im just not sure how well he will do in an event like this, he has the potential to go far. EDIT: and ughhh I stand out in that promo video like a sore thumb... Finals clip first vs leenock, you can tell who is a protoss player and first fan sitting in that crowd lol... | ||

After the first 2/3 rounds (once it's all done in one heat) it becomes a literal marathon. Players barely have time to use the restroom, let alone eat. It's really really tough on even the most seasoned players. Dallas is a stacked field and EVERY match will take something out of the players. Whoever makes it out of the Open Bracket into Pool Play has huge amounts of respect from me. | ||

Even those first few rounds and heats, are grueling as you never know when your going to play, As MLG doesnt tell you which heat your in until your name is announced... So you still have to be around and trying to find out whats going on. And to add on top of that practice, warm up is before hand, and that makes the day even longer. | ||

Leenock won MLG Providence straight from the Open Bracket. He won MLG summer from group stages. Only person to do so post-Korean invasion. | ||
