But it has just started... I quess the long breaks are pretty annoying tho. You can watch some player streams in the meantime or something else.

About Polt people used to hate him a lot when he cheesed out MC of the GSL and beat Boxer who was considered a heavy favourite during that time.
Now i am happy for the guy who has now gained more fans and he is really good now. Oh the irony

results needa be updated better @ Liquipedia or in the OP.. hard to follow because only 2 matches are getting streamed at a time, but there are about 4-5 playing atm? Otherwise, enjoying so far!

Doesn't surprise me one bit. TSL is an amazing team at taking mediocre or poor players and turning them into brilliant players. Just look at Polt, Puma, JYP, Symbol, Alive, Heart, Clide. That team is just a production line of great players. polt was only "mediocre" when he was playing part time while going to school... So Polt was originally pretty bad. Then out of nowhere he won the super tournament but his play looked kind of gimmicky with a lot of cheesy stuff and timing rush based play. Then he moved to TSL and he turned into the sickest solid macro player who still has the sick micro and rush builds he's always had but also has developed great mutitask and late game play which he definitely did not have pre TSL. He's definitely a far better and more versatile player since he joined TSL. not only did polt not come out of nowhere he was also a code S terran for the majority of the time before winning the super tournament while still going to school ~_~ All sorts of bad players were Code S then and Polt was considered (probably wrongly) one of them. Why would arguably the best TvP-player at that time be considered bad?
You revisionists make me laugh.
Pre Super Tournament Polt had played 5 whole games of TvP in GSL.
And if you bring up the Asia Champions Tournament which precisely nobody watched or cared about I will 100% know you weren't around the scene then.
Polt's notariety in TvP came after he won the Super Tournament because he beat Huk (a Code S Protoss with good TvP who'd just beaten MMA who we didn't know was awful TvP yet) and Alicia (at the time he was the number one hyped Protoss newcomer set to wash away jobbers like Tester, Anypro and Hongun and considered a PvT specialist).
People then took a lot more notice of the fact he'd beaten MC (because if you remember those games MC was taking huge risks like nexus first and Polt just rushed him so people thought little of it)

The whole story against Jinro wasn't really good for his popularity as well. But he's forgiven right now.

Anyone know where can I find the brackets? Thanks

He's not. Subject come from Inori doing well since he's in TSL, onto TSL players etc..

Azael is a pretty good caster, probably the best on show with the possible exception of DoA
|
Xeris, update us, as liquipedia doesnt. new results?
|

|

Still, people watch EG despite it all, atleast they market themselves so well that even if their results are sub-par, they're still pulling viewers. Also tied the highest number of players by a foreign team to make it to the pools in MLG, out of the open brackets!
It must be nice for EG to have such marketable players that are currently pretty average, even the ones at the bottom of the EG ladder currently still draw viewers whereas the lesser Quantic players... (wait, what are their names? I can't even remember) What use are they to their sponsors?
