I agree its odd. We all think of these guys as super smart, but not a one can do an interview in English. Look at Dimaga, TLO and Stephano. They all had a different first language than English, but they all can also do English interviews without problem. most europeans I know usually speak at least 3 languages, english being one of them Yeah. Allmost everyone speaks english and 2 or 3 foreign languages are pretty common here.

I work at a Korean middle school.
Students learn English [compulsory] from grade 3 elementary school and in middle school they have to learn either Japanese or Chinese (at my school) in addition to English.
Hmmm, then why do so many Korean pro gamers seem uncomfortable speaking it? Do they just not want to because they're not fluent?

Just like Germany and Spain are close to France and their languages studied at school.

You can't equal the differences among European Languages to differences between European and Asian language. And also, they have too few access to English contents and people.
yeah, no korea ranks #1 on connectivity, and all that kpop makes me think they know a lot about american music, at the very least

It's illegal for Koreans to gamble except for at a single casino in the country that is located on a ski resort.
Foreigners, however, are allowed to gamble and there are casinos designed for them (Chinese, Japanese, western etc).

Countries being beside each other doesn't mean they should speak the language of their neighbor. As an option, sure, but to expect it to be mandatory is kinda too much.
Although English is like my 3rd language out of 5 lol
