2 T left. Will ByuN and TY pull off a Dark - Solar SSL ?

They will eliminate each other in the round of 8, it's the Terran way.

Much as I like Drogo, it's a bit of a lwaste tbh, with his current lvl I can't see him do anything in his group.

There are a lot of people who couldn't do anything in that group, including a large chunk of Koreans.

Agreed. Polt forfeited his blizzcon spot because the tournament isn't important to him.


he's been pissed off by balance since lotv release, 6 months was required for blizzard to understand that adepts need nerf, and after that they make just -1 damage.


typical terran to turn this into balance whine.

Well, to be frank, he kinda has a point, something has to be wrong, otherwise we'd still have a decent number of Terran players left, which since LotV isn't really the case anymore.

This is not a balance whine thread. In fact, no thread is a balance whine thread.

It's been the case since BLord / Infestor, why would you want to complain now as if it's only since LotV? xD

The Blizzcon will still be interesting and it'll taste even better if the best player in the world manages to win against all odds (ByuN), iirc no terran has won a Blizzcon yet.

Polt probably knew he had to stop before Blizzcon but he needed to be funded for his trips I guess... It's such a bummer that he won't play it and just stopped sc2 so suddenly, after very bad performances in recent tourneys (still top 2 #WCS, almost #1, since Neeb had the luck not to be stopped by ByuN, so overall decent performance), without a chance to redeem himself.

This military service is really killing hype :/.

Can't disagree with that. It would already be super strong if Nerchio made it out.

I just hope Drogo realizes that this is a huge opportunity & practices his butt off to give everyone a good show & doesnt just pull a Lilbow.

Well this sucks. Polt was one of my favorite players. I knew this was coming eventually considering his age, but I hoped he had postponed it even further.

Well watching Blizzcon as a terran player really sucks. Yes we have TY and Byun but they both go between best in the world and mediocre play so who knows who show up at Blizzcon.

For the fans, it's very much an anti-timing. If Drogo doesn't get 0-4 in his group, then he will have done better than Lilbow.

An amazing competitor, and one I doubted before IEM Cologne 2014. Congrats on your place in history Polt!
