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


I'm 90% positive that's not why he isn't going to blizzcon. It sounds like he had no choice and the Korean military is forcing him to do it now (he's 28).
When I think of something else, something will go here

So because Hydra can't attend because of his long ago planned wedding and Polt because of mandatory military service means this Blizzcon "seems secondary" to them? Sure.

Nice ded gaem post btw

If this years Blizzcon plus WESG don't make an improvement the game is kinda dead. Nothing wrong with stating a fact, though I dont know about the making blizzcon seems secondary argument.

He's not wrong, though, by saying that Hydra views marriage as more important than Blizzcon or that Polt views not breaking the law as more important than Blizzcon.

It's just annoying how people have to attribute every negative event to proof of Starcraft 2's death or the WCS region lock.

Except that what he is stating is really an opinion at this point and not actual proof. It's like people saying daed game because the KT team supposedly disbanded when it actually just moved buildings.

This might be the most heart breaking news I've seen on TL and just before Blizzcon Best of luck to him and can't think of a player who has consistantly entertained more than Polt.

According to my Korean male friends, when the first time they get call from government, they can make excuse to delay the service, but they cannot delay it to whenever late you want. Seems like there's an extending limitation. After that, you have to register to the training camp on the very day the government appoints.

I don't know Polt's situation, but maybe there came something that made him have no choice.

He's a fan favorite for sure so a lot of people will miss him at BlizzCon but realistically speaking ByuN is so infinitely better so its no loss for competition.

Sucky timing for him. Pretty lame that two people who were meant to be there couldn't make it. Drogo/violet/elazer at blizzcon doesn't exactly fill me with hype.

TT

My favorite WoL terran, one of the smartest and most charismatic player ever, who won in every expansion. What else is there to say...

I was actually surprised about his age while checking liquipedia earlier this year, so i kinda foresaw that retirement with the military and all, but definitely not right before blizzcon

Farewell Polt, you will be missed!


Oh and Drogo you better not throw away this opportunity

Asking Drogo not to throw something? I feel like I know what he would say.

Drogo huh? Meh. I'll miss not seeing Polt play at Blizzcon. Not only for his play but just for more diversity within the event. Now we're down to 2 Terrans. But watching Polt play is always something i've looked forward to. You just never could tell when Polt would turn it on & put forth a magical run. He will surely be missed!
