Darren Su, VP of iBUYPOWER:
"We here at iBUYPOWER are beyond excited to have a player like Choi "Polt" Seong Hun join us. What more can be said about a champion who has already conquered every region he has competed in? We have been personal fans of Polt for quite some time and have been waiting for an opportunity to support his success and become part of his legacy.
Today, that opportunity has arrived and we are eager to join forces with this rising Starcraft Champion. We believe Polt to be an amazing person and athlete to work with, and we look forward to supporting him through his many future tournament winnings.
Thank you Choi Seong Hun for joining us and welcome to the team!"
Andrew Tomlinson, Founder and CEO of Cyber Solutions Agency:
"From our first meeting, I was impressed by Choi Seong Hun, the Starcraft player known as Polt. “Impressive” is the best word for a pro gamer from South Korea who has mastered the English language, claimed titles across Europe, Asia, and North America, and simultaneously maintained top scores at the University of Texas before receiving a P-1A Professional Athlete visa from the U.S. Government.
It took bravery for Polt to make the kind of decisions he had to make to further his career, like leaving Korea and pursuing Starcraft full-time. I am proud to have helped him make that transition a productive one. Polt’s drive and talent are demonstrated daily, and it is a pleasure to work with a professional who is so positive and so deserving of the support this community shows him.
As such, it is with beaming pride that I congratulate Choi “Polt” Seong Hun and iBUYPOWER on their new partnership."
Choi "Polt" Seong Hun, Professional Starcraft 2 Player:
Hello, my fans, and thank you for your support! I am very excited to share the news that I have a new sponsor: iBUYPOWER. iBUYPOWER has supported Starcraft for a long time as a partner of leagues like NASL and MLG. In fact, three of my biggest tournaments wins have been on their PCs. Now I will be representing the brand that enabled my victories! I promise I will continue to work hard and make iBUYPOWER, my sponsors, and all my fans proud. I hope you continue to cheer for me in WCS and beyond!

No, CMStorm remains as Polt's title sponsor.

Polt, stealing all the sponsors for himself 
But seriously, huge congrats to Polt! The guy definitely deserves it.
|
Polt is literally living the american dream ! So much success for this guy. 
|
Given Polt's current level in English, I wouldn't say he's "mastered" it yet. That being said, he's certainly miles better than his fellow countrymen.
Congrats to Sir Polt!

It's great to see an American gaining such a good sponsor. :D
|
Congratulations to Polt, he deserves it.
|
That's awesome, great job polt!
|
Polt ! It's funny at first it was Polt and Maka, the twin terrans, and now Polt is a star and Maka disappeared.
|

|
Gz Polt! This is awesome :D

No... personal sponsorship =/= team sponsorship... he's still on CM Storm he's just has an additional sponsor to his sponsors.

Revolt and Polt has a nice ring to it. Someones gotta make a nice sounding two liner out of it or something.
congratz to everyone involved and congratz on Polt for being awesome
|
Considering he also has a baller education in the works, I think this makes Polt the biggest boss in all of progaming. I don't think that can be disputed.
|
I guess we don't have to worry about him when his progaming career ends. This guy has everything he needs to do what he wants.
|
One day Polt will get all the money in esports. Until then, I can only dream

They have been good to the SC2 scene in general, and I personally am glad to see them continuning in the scene and sponsoring a deserving player. Also, a player that will likely give them a good amount of exposure with his talent and popularity.
Good news all around for SC2 lately.
|
Polt is gonna end up like EG, but he gets all the money himself
|
My next pc is ibuypower 
|
Wow, either Polt has some great representation, or he is a savvy businessman on top of all his other obvious skills.
Either way, dude is such a fucking badass.
|
If you ever read that Polt, you know that why you are successfull with sponsors and other's arent? Because you are human, as human should be: you seem to be a nice and polite person, it is just nice to see you play. No matter if win (I prefer that) or lose (  ) you always seem to have a polite and heartwarming attitude which is way more closer to us gamers than these other cold "pro" players show. That is why I like you, and I hope that is what you really are, cause that way you can continue being that way (and that is what I wish you to be).
BTW would still watch you stream games /comment on progames as a caster or whatever you do in future after your progaming carrier, unlike this one unpolite player called Idra, who doesn't know how to deal with people

Lol Team Polt>Team EG sponsors

Hard to believe Polt went from being a notably horrible player in the GSL Open Seasons to the amazing "OptimusPrime". I guess playing in the GSL while you went to a top korean university really hits your performance?
|
Man, Polt is such an exciting player. Cannot do anything but support iBuyPower !! Go team!
|
Polt Love....is a rare and beautiful thing...

Congrats Polt . You deserve it and more.

Andrew, you're such an awesome manager. I hope you and your co-workers and agency grow further and further until you guys reach a pinnacle that well suits how greatly and positively influential/contributory you have been to e-sports. You are exceptional at highlighting your clients to the various communities, and you are admirably professional about it too. Fantastic.
Edit: In addition, you also have a personal interest in e-sports alongside your role as a manager for players like Polt and Violet, which is simply great. They are quite fortunate to be teamed up with you. (and probably vice versa :-] )

You could sell oranges, if you'd sponsor Polt, everyone would be like "HOLY HELL SUCH AWESOME ORANGES GO POLT!"
(I don't mean that post in a bad manner, I just feel like there's no way a sponsor giving money to Polt couldn't get the ROI he wants)

Does this just mean that well see a revolt ad on his stream? Go teamPolt

Polt is really deserving of this sponsor. He exudes intelligence and is a great SC2 player! It's funny to see though he has better personal sponsorships than some organizations have!
|
Great! Great move by the company, to sponsor such as a great player! Polt is a great example for a lot of people, who want to combine study / work and Starcraft II.
|
Grats to Sir Polt! Once you become a knight all the sponsors want a piece of you!
|
Well played Polt - well deserved!
