i may be wrong but i don't think they were burdened with the 수능 (college entrance exams) that literally break many korean high school kids down.

college, you mean that sucker place Jaedong signed up?
Reach, lol.
"imma beat you up if you dont graduate these two kids"

I know this is not a 'typical' high school (obviously, given the circumstances these guys are in) but props to Flash and Stats for graduating it! Lee Young Ho hwaiting! Chin Dae Yeob hwaiting!

Wait Flash just graduated High School in 3 years? Is that the traditional length for students in Korea? In America High School is four years barring special exceptions.
So between 2008 and now, FLASH successfully completed high school in a time frame comparable or faster to any other student??
The school system in Korea is 3 yrs high school and 3 yrs middle school
I think

well i could be wrong but i don't think high school is tough ... what most Korean students (and majority of the Asian students in general) fear is the university entrance exam ... high school then becomes tough because you have to study your ass off to get into a good university or an university at all ... but for Flash and other progamers i don't think it's big of a deal ... they probably got a lot of support from the school as well seeing how they have been practicing 12 hours of SC a day ... i dont think progamers go to school on a daily basis, maybe once or twice a week/month?? and then they have special tests which are relatively easier so that they can graduate
p/s: all these are from top of my head, i remember reading them from somewhere ... please correct me if i'm wrong

TBH I dont get this at all. Well Germany has another education system but still. High school is sth like a Gymnasium maybe a little bit easier. But really in my opinion its not that much of an achievement. At least it was none for me Ive never looked back at my graduation and thought hell that was a tough time and I had to put in lots of effort for graduating. The school I visited was definitely one of the harder. Hell Ive been drinking and partying 99% of the time xD.
Now they can really play Sc1 24/7 :D

Flash has been so dominant and he's only just finished HS, I can't wait for the (hopefully) inevitable move to SC2

Wasn't Artosis the one that said that most pros that go to this "School" just have other people do their work so that they can practice and game more?

Congratulations !
Wow i had no idea that Flash was still doing high school. This is mindblowing.
