sOs' LotV PvP didn't look that good from the little we've seen of it.

Byun going to send Lilbow to SC3.

Polt should be in charge of game design/balance.

sOs robbing everyone blind as usual.

Honestly, I feel those comments regarding Polt are too derisive. He took two games off of a GSL 2015 champion in the BlizzCon finals. I know you mention his strategic and tactical prowess and the like, but I think he deserves a bit more credit

I'll be interested in seeing how Lilbow fares against ByuN and Snute against his old nemesis, herO.

It was Polt who started 1-1-1? I though it was PuMa...

@MC
I'm worried. I feel like MC will either be crushed or crushed HARD.

@Snute
Go Snute!

The reality is such that those who enter or persevere in this career must win; anything less would be unacceptable and unsustainable.

Apparently one can also match-fix.


Yep, it was Polt. In none other than the Round of 64 of the GSL Open Season 1, and against none other than MC.

Yeah, PvP isn't what it once was

There does remain one constant about PvP, herO is still bad at it.

I also think the comments about Polt are interesting. Anyone who sees his games when he streams (which is all the time) would know they hold no weight. He also plays on the korea server, and does quite well. Actually, he's just really really good and I expect him to win 3-2.

i just wanted to mention a general thing that has been bothering me about these TL previews for a long time now: you guys never mention when the damn tournament will actually be happening.

yes, i understand i can look at the TL calendar or google that shit, but if i already have a preview, i feel like it's not too much to ask to have a quick pointer of when and where (both physical location and streaming wise) this will be going down.

Yeah PuMa didn't invent the 1/1/1. He's only known for it because he played it constantly for like a year and a half.
