Yes he is?

Strange, why do the Korean pro gamers keep mentioning MMA in interviews when talking about the best Terran, but never mentions Polt? Well, I trust your judgement dragonborn.

Now dragonborn, Polt is a great player, and he was better than MMA back in the summer of 2011, but I don't think he is anymore. MMA's has turned into such a strong player that it would not be any stretch to call him the world's best player now that MVP has started to look very mortal (unfortunately due to his wrists )

Polt is still a fantastic player, just remember Blizzard Cup, and Polt lose in GSL/GSTL because of he was sick and his condition wasnt okay.

He is still on same level with MMA and polt's current condition is good as when he won gsl super tournament.

Wait untill Polt qualifiying for code A or getting Seed from GOM.

because of MMA's condition was better than Polt's in last 3 month.

Now Polt is better than ever and he is always been most underrated player in Korea.

Never gets enough respect, never.

so lets just say if i beat you in starcraft 2 every single day every time we met each other on ladder tournaments blah blah blah... but if you won a tournament and got LUCKY in tournament brackets and faced off mroe easiler opponents you would consider yourself the better player? i dont know but that just doesnt sound to right?


Of course you have to consider what tournament it is. If it's some nameless tournament with bad players then obviously it means nothing. But if I win a Playhem, ZOTAC, or TLOpen, and you fail at the same tournament consistently, then yes I would be better than you. Even with an easier run, I will obviously face opponents that beat you, or beat those who beat you, and that would make me better than you (if head-to-head is really that important) through transitivity. In that situation, Me > dude1 > dude2 > you.

Well let's use a hypothetical pro-sports analogy.

If the Wizards / Swansea go undefeated versus Miami / Manchester United, does that mean the former teams are better than the latter? Of course not. The team with the better overall record and more achievements is better.

And Polt has struggled to break back into Code S.

http://www.teamliquid.net/tlpd/sc2-korean/players#tblt-6994-1-4-DESC

Top 5?

MMA, Alive, Mvp, MKP, Gumiho, GanZi, Jjakji, Supernova. To paraphrase a saying from other sports, Polt isn't fit to plug in their keyboards for them. He's a good player, and you've somehow hyped him up to be untouchable. One solid win at Assembly is hardly enough to elevate him to god status. And comparing their head to head is pure folly. MMA > Polt despite their questionable stats.


Um...I understand that you think Polt is not a top-tier player, but your list is pretty much garbage. Jjakji is too volatile in TvT (he was lucky to make it out of the Ro16 in one piece), Supernova has not made deep runs in the GSL, Ganzi's TvP is woefully bad, Gumiho had one good run in the current GSL, and the same applies to Alive. MKP and Polt are roughly equal. The only players who are heads-and-shoulders above Polt are MMA and Mvp, and Mvp has struggled recently.

Did he do well in Blizz Cup?

Oh nevermind, he tied against MMA 1-1, and lost to Mvp who was crushed by MMA 3-0, and then MMA followed it up with a spectacular win against DRG. Polt is no where near MMA's level. Even if Polt manages to beat MMA, Polt is not as good against the other top tiers as MMA is.

Polt is a fantastic player, and one of my favorite terran players, but MMA is just stronger at the moment. I do not doubt that Polt has the potential to be great. I think the same about HerO btw.

Um... They all rank higher than Polt on the Korean TLPD, and have all played some spectacular games this year. So Polt managed to beat a foreigner filled tournament, the aforementioned all had much greater peaks, whether it was ro8/ro4 GSL, or good runs in MLG against top level koreans. The exception is Mvp, and as much as I don't like him, he still has played against far better people.

Congrats, but Empire beat col-MVP back in the LR1, taking out 4 MVP players and Minigun.

Good luck against FXO! You guys beat them in the NASTL, you can definitely do it again!

He won a foreigner-filled tournament by only playing Koreans from group stages until the finals, then beating the best non-Korean player in the world. I already explained why you were wrong on everyone else.

- MMA, better than Polt, has shown it over and over
- Alive had one good run, needs to show more
- Gumiho had one good run, needs to show more
- Mvp, better than Polt, has shown it over and over
- Ganzi, too bad in TvP
- Jjakji, too up and down in TvT
- Supernova, too up and down in TvP

Good runs don't mean shit unless they are repeatable.

so why are you saying HerO > Polt? Polt i dont even like him i actually think his overrated... but he has a overall better achievement list then HerO would you agree? wouldnt you say GSL Super Tournament is more Prestige then Dreamhack Winter? Polts 2 Titles > HerOs 1 Title only reason why people think HerO is the next MC is because his on TEAMLIQUID and thats the truth ...

wtf? When talking about the best Terran, neither player is mentioned when there's MVP. Since MVP's fallen off, people aren't particularly sure and are pretty silent about it though they do say there are good players at certain styles.

No, I just have brains to look beyond a single 1 on 1. Despite the 4-1 at GSL Oct, Tastosis claimed that Mvp was better than MMA till MMA wrested the crown from him at the end of Blizz cup. One matchup does not make a player better than the other, as you seek to do with Polt and HerO and MMA.

Did you know that MMA v Polt has the same exact record as MC vs HuK in foreign tournaments? Huk has won 7 and lost 2 to MC. And most would agree that MC right now is much better. I wonder why that is?

Maybe because they have common sense.

Please read properly. I said that Polt is better than HerO (read 2 messages before this), but not because of their head-to-head. Polt is better because of his over-all accomplishments. HerO has the potential to be better than Polt in the next season, though.

You know that's ranking points right?
For winning GSLs and the like from LAST YEAR?
(Wiki)2011 GSL Points

Full list. Now tell me, do oGsTOP and July look like top 10 right now?

Get real, and make arguments that have actual rationale behind them.

Oh and if you want to use those stats, since you're quite keen on making a fool of yourself, MMA is still > Polt.

Do you see where this is going? You're proving yourself inept at making arguments, and your arguments invalidate your previous assertions.
