Polt wins over soulkey? are you high or something? Last season finals polt went 0-4 against the first code s he met, now you say he will win over a code s champion?

Have you seen Polt playing recently? Definitely possible.

Sure polt has been playing great, but his opponents are on a lower level than Soulkey.
Jaedong maybe the only opponent that has a chance with JvZ.



Hey did you hear about that one guy who supposedly beat Soulkey 3-0 in a high-stakes ZvZ? Couldn't have happened, right?

Or that guy who JUST beat Jaedong in "JvZ" and then went on to lose to Polt?


So many crazy stories. But at least we know for sure that unless you play in Code S, you don't win tournaments. Especially not if there are other Code S players present

wait


Yeah, i dont get his soulkey hype at all, i dont think soulkey is a top 3 (or even 5) zerg.


I'd question your ability to assess players then. I don't care much about hype but to say Soulkey isn't one of the top zergs at the moment is kind of bullocks. He's still pretty high up there in my book.

Well maybe i dont rate him as high cause we dont see that much from him, but i wouldnt be surprised if he doesnt make it out of this group.

If, in a given tournament, there is no Leenock or Life on it, it is irrelevant to me.

Still, i am going to watch the finals and see how Dear crushes all opposition.

Polt > Jaedong > Code S players,

therefore Polt > Code S players?

Nice logic


Better logic than

One particular Code S player in one particular tournament > Polt

therefore

All Code S players > Polt

Correction: you don't see enough of him. Lots of other people have seen quite a bit of him, but there is an overarching principle here. A lot of players don't get the proper exposure or enough game time to make them relevant on a global scale. This is a problem in itself and a lot of that has to do with WCS overriding a lot of other events. It's not a proper circuit. That's not the only issue; it's not just the WCS. We've been using the same formats for too long and Leagues like the GSTL aren't really much of a League (had to be said, sorry was never really a big fan of it). Sure we have a little round robin now, but there isn't enough teams and like you said. A lot of people don't get a lot of looks. If you followed PL (I know time zones are a bitch and everyone has their own cliques) you would have seen quite a bit of SK. He did pretty well at that time, but that's not the point. We're talking about more exposure and there are a lot of things we can fix. For starters, I'd abolish the GSTL and make one Team League that goes on for the rest of the season, which includes all teams and all major broadcasters/organizers would have a piece of the pie.

Well yeah i agree , my point is just that in the last 1-2 months there werent really much games he played. He did look quite good in proleague but i dont think that matters right now. i guess we just have to wait and see, maybe he shows that i am completely wrong, but yeah... Jaedong fighting i guess :D
