the drunk part hurts but honestly you should at least know how to tread water, in a pool you can also always use the bottom and go up and down.
Also pretty much any pool like that will have a life saver nearby just throw it in the pool to him before jumping in, or grabbing the poles they keep by them. Almost all situations like this it's better to think calmly and react with a plan after taking a few seconds.
It really should be basic knowledge if you spend any time in / near water how to deal with drowning. I spent a lot of time over the summer swimming in a nearby body of water and I never felt in danger at all even though it had a pretty good current and I would swim out to the middle alone. You can tread water for a very long time if you know the techniques.
Owell honestly it was a good thing you did jump in and try and save him. It is possible you guys might not have noticed him drowning. It was a very good thing you at least recognized the danger he was in but it was a very foolish situation everyone here should learn from.
Wait, can someone fill me in on how this SloggerDogger guy seems to be chummy with Jaedong and Flash and Kal? That's awesome. (The friendship thing, not the almost-drowning thing.)

He's SLoG4, Korean American who lives in korea half the year. He knows most all the top progamers and has been doing officiating at WCG grand finals for years.

it was 6am and he hadnt slept a wink. pool depth can be quite deceptive and i doubt kal looked around to check for signs indicating the depth. you do stupid things when you're sleep depraved.
The ref did know how to swim, he just didnt know how to save Kal who was paniccing and pulling him down and then he started to drown too, big difference ;p. Flash for the win though, goldenboy.
This sounds like the beginning of a very traumatizing slash fiction. Alcohol, men, life-saving heroics, etc. Thankfully none of the progamers lost their swimwear during the struggle.

That is awesome. Absolutely awesome. I think one of them should be asked about that during their next interview.
