Except that it's "only" a ST (in 2017 it means far less than when Polt won, far less players, less prizepool), and that he is already acknowledged as a good player. And he already was a Starleague champion 2 years before the Super Tournament win. And adept/phoenix really isn't comparable to BL/infestor. | ||

It's still really powerful and he wouldn't ever win against these three terrans back to back in a balanced era so still. The fact that he got 3-0ed by Impact right after is funnily reminding of such GSL champions tho :x | ||

No but afaik he didn't beat 3 top form terrans (aLive was top form during GSL ST, so I consider the form, not the reputation of the player overall) back to back previously, did he? Like he could in any given tournament beat one, or maybe two, but beating 3 in the same tournament? However such brackets are rare anyways so it's hard to gauge. edit: http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/2017_VSL_Season_1/Team_League Am I right that team GSL champs is Team Zest (ByuN, jjakji, Zest I'm sure they won, and Classic I think he won one too?). Then team JA/SG is team Rogue. Team CJ is team herO and then team Impact. I will have to think more for these liquidbets because insta liquidbetting hasn't worked out at all with favorites underperforming left and right :/. Stats will probably not carry, however Patience and Impact are doing well on KR ladder afaik... Still gonna vote for ByuN team because ByuN is in it. For the other match, team herO have more racial diversity which is HUGE now that protoss got nerfed, however team Rogue have two zergs which seem to do the best in the current patch, especially since Bunny isn't the best TvZer... but Creator with protoss nerfed is probably dead weight. go herO | ||

TY being in top form is pretty questionable, so let's say 2. http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/2014_KeSPA_Cup This was 2 weeks after Flash won IEM Toronto and a week before Bomber dominated the RB: Washington event, so I'd say they were in pretty decent form. So herO doing well against in-form Terrans is not without precedent. Even though the difference between herO's playstyles in LotV and HotS is night and day. | ||
