Nah Drogo is a hard worker for sure. But I do not if he is confident enough though.

He pretty much has the hardest group too imo. He might practice hard but I wouldnt be surprised to see him go 0-4

Such sudden and sad news. I'm sure Polt would've gone if he could, and tried filing an extension.

It was wonderful watching him play, and having a Korean pro that could speak English so well was really nice. I'm glad he's made such good use of his time, and wish him luck. I hope he'll be back when he's done with his service.
Beauty is not the goal of competitive sports, but high-level sports are a prime venue for the expression of human beauty. The relation is roughly that of courage to war.

Bye polt.

I hope you're better at denying sovereign leaders their right govern (via NATO) than you were at SC2.

Has anyone heard from Polt since he left? Just saw he retweeted a couple things but that's it.

As someone mentioned before, the first time I paid attention to Polt was when he was trash talking Jinro, and then he beat my favorite terran at the time (MMA) in a big finals, so I started out strongly disliking him. He really grew on me though and eventually I became a fan (except for the parts where he kept beating TaeJa *fistshake*). I loved his cheerful personality and attitude and matter-of-fact communication, and he gave us plenty of entertaining games. Going to miss him lots, but I wish him the best in all of his future endeavors!

I'm so sad now! I looked forward to seeing Polt compete one last time before expected service. The timing of this makes me question what the real story is behind the change.

Polt is THE LAST truly GREAT player of the first generation of SC2 progamers still playing at the top level.

Truly sad to see him go without a chance for a shot at the last big score / tournament @ BlizzCon, which he has earned...

END OF AN ERA.

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.


Lilbow actually qualified off of his own merit though.

Captain America should've renounced his Korean citizenship to apply for US citizenship, that's one way to get out of military service.

Not really any different than Drogo. Lilbow mainly qualified from WCS Premier just as Drogo got his points from WCS events he did well in.

Drogo only qualified because 2 other people dropped out

How is that statement ridiculous? He's just expressing how he sees it. Now, if he had stated that EVERYONE should see it the same way he does and there's no other right way to see it, then yes it would have been ridiculous.

Lilbow only qualified because the players he played against to get enough points to qualify weren't better.

I really dont get what you think "off of one's own merit" signifies :D

I'm pretty sure that's also a good way to never be allowed to go to South Korea again.
