Trying to connect into Austin for his preliminary match to defend his North American title, Choi "Polt" Seong Hun ran into issues connecting into Austin. This forced a forfeit of his first match in the round of 32. Getting on in time for the second game, "Polt" won and narrowly took the rubber match to advance to the round of 16. The bane of online gaming is things like this, but it was lucky "Polt" recovered to continue onward.
