Polt with no major tournament wins vs top koreans? What was he doing when he won the Super tournament?


To be fair the top Koreans of 2013 are of a higher caliber than the top Koreans of 2011. In the super tournament you had players like MKP, MMA, MC and Nestea. Can you really compare that group to one like say, Innovation, Maru, Bomber,Flash, Soul key, Life, Symbol, Rain, SoS and Dear?



haha, flash.


Obviously you did not watch last proleague season right? He did even better than Innovation there, who was considered as the strongest player back than.


doing well in Proleague doesn't make you a good player overall, unfortunately. Just ask all the sweet Kespa Protoss players who haven't made a dent in the scene outside PL despite being beasts in there.

. It's a good article. I was just hoping for Fionn is all.
I root for Euro Zergs, NA Protoss* and Korean Terrans. (Any North American who has beat a Korean Pro as Protoss counts as NA Toss)

I think the autor means despite his Super Tournament run, which lies more than 2 years behind us. And since then, Polt has allways just won tournaments, where not a lot of the GSL/OSL elite was present.

And so the waiting watch concludes. The board is set, the early dawn breaks on the battlefield that will tomorrow be littered with the bodies of the glorious fallen. The great conflict of our age awaits.

Those who are about to play, they salute us. We can only offer them the same respect, before battle is joined.

Victoria aut mors!

no innovation was considered stronger .. but flash has the most kills .. flash is certainly deadly in sc2 .. but does not have the juice to become a champion .. even if we wanted to .. we may see it happen ever

Fionn's dwindling sc2 passion confirmed extinguished. Glad you were able to get them all out before Blizzcon. Polt is in a good spot to do well with his bracket but I think a lot of people are underestimating aLive. If Polt beats him he should be able to get through either of the 2 P players in the Ro8. Another Ro4+ finish would be pretty incredible for a part time player


Fionn was taken by the monsters of LoL
we don't speak of that place

I really love Polt, but I don't think he really has a chance to win :-(
Another clue to my existence.

Chances are quite small, but he is definitely able to win it. We will need to see the solid Polt of the two last WCS NA, not the passive one of WCS Season finals.
First match will be determining.

Great collection of articles, fellas.

Also, Polt better destroy Alive. Winning the whole thing wouldn't be too bad, either.

I'm behind Polt for this tournament, but He hasn't been doing well in tournaments that include WCS KR players so far. =/
