Wonderful article ! You didn't need to convert me as a Polt fan, but man, this one was so well-written, so precise, so epic. Maybe the best article of the series so far.

I'm stunned that people say the most consistent TvP player in the world will do anything but SMASH the weakest Protoss in the field R1.
The world is better when every background has a chance.

It's a product of just how seriously good the WCS Korea competitors are.

I love Polt and I think he has a real chance at defeating Classic, but if any of the WCS Korea players lose in the first round I will consider it an upset. They are seriously good, even Classic who hasn't looked as great lately.

You think soO losing to Taeja qualifies as an upset? I have to disagree. I feel a soO victory, but it's like... 60/40.

I think Polt, Taeja, and Bomber are evenly matched against most KR Koreans, and actually favored against a couple. I take Polt over Classic and I put him roughly on par with herO. Bomber, Polt, and Taeja can all easily knock Innovation out in a TvT.

I'd probably even take Polt over Innovation when fighting Zest. Maru ran right over Zest in Code S s2 and Polt plays the same style of TvP Maru does. You know, minus the Siege Tanks.

i won't. players like polt, taeja and san have proven over and over again that they can go toe to toe with the best in korea. even players who didn't get many results this year (like jaedong) and players you wouldn't susect to beat top koreans (like MMA) have shown greatness and defeated koreans from korea.

Classic is still pretty good. Polt vs Classis is a very even match.

I think Polt will crush Classic. I mean, he even beat him in a bo5 back when TvP was ridiculous, Classic was in top form, and the map pool was against him. Then he did the same to Rain in the next round, whom Classic is basically a clone of in play style.

never forgive polt for trashtalking jinro and getting thrashed 2-0 in gsl~


I remember this and have always found it interesting how quickly he's been embraced since then.

He was actually not that popular after the Super Tournament either, since MMA was the up-and-coming "Son of Boxer" and he ruined those dreams.

Oh and he got hate for 'stealing' the OptimusPrime tag from MKP lol.

It's a young boy's dream, a young man's illusion, and an old man's nightmare.


His story is a young boy's dream, a young man's hope, and an old man's fulfillment.
