how can this stuff not be figured out before hand? every year people drop out of blizzcon, or don't bother practicing for it. it's a joke. what other game has players/teams just up and drop out of the premiere tournament with regularity? you can't tell me polt can't delay his military service for, you know, one week, especially when he hasn't said anything on this topic previously

Polt was one of the last of the original high skill SC2 players that still played regularly, and the last one I cared to watch. And with this, their watch is ended.

How can you not care about Byun?

POLT! NOOOOOOOO!!!! There have been so many, "end of an era" statements, but this is HUGE! DAMNIT! I remember this guy in early wings of liberty splitting marines against tanks and Tastosis saying, "this style rarely makes a champion". Damnit all, I am actually upset.

I was totally that guy that made fun of people who "mourned" Michael Jackson's death, but I am now a giant hypocrite.

TT sad to see Polt go. He was always one of my favorites. At least him and DRG can go military together. GG SK Archon

Can't believe I'm feeling like this over a gamer but my heart dropped. This guy is an absolute fucking legend and the reason why I love SC2. I really wish he would have at least played out Blizzcon so we could give him a proper send off. Thanks and GL Polt

I guess this explains his performance in KFC earlier this week...
He is certainly already out of practice. Going to Blizzcon probably means just getting eliminated in the first round.

That's a bummer, but it seems like it's an urgent summon. I hope we get details about it eventually.

in a way, im glad koreans are making the biggest sc2 tourney in the world seem secondary to them. future of sc2 is looking bleak. not a ded gam post, just be realistic; do you see this game holding up for the next 2-3 years?


Well we are still here enjoying the game and lots of new people coming in and enjoying the game w/ more fun Coop, Arcade (Carbot!) and other modes.

I guess these people who are saying that SC2 is dead are the people who are not playing it at the moment.

A surprise for sure but not that big of a surprise considering his abysmal showing at Kung Fu Cup. Guess you could've seen it coming... since yesterday?

bad news for Snute. He was taken out of a group with 3 P, and ZvP is his best MU right now. RIP
