As others have already pointed out, he is an extremely well-mannered, positive force within this community, a highly skilled and entertaining player, a great contributor to the TL Strategy forum and did a 24 hour livestream very recently for charity. Forgetting those things when expressing your opinion about a person (which is what a lot of these posts are, they aren't judgments of the opinion, they're judgments of the person, ad hominem) will not lead to a reasonable discussion and is highly reactionary. on point no 2), the world "in general" (the media anyone?) does tend to judge people by a one incident that overshadows anything they have done in the past, like having a criminal record pretty affects a person chances at jobs for life. the fact that he left code A and the GSTL prematurely will probably stick with his name for a while no doubt, even though he explained his circumstances (which personally, i find it disappointing. I thought he could be the next jinro/huk, especially when he beat San) . the willingness to not judge a book by its cover is not something everyone has on the forums, not like they need to have it especially since 90% of the people commentating here are anonymous | ||

Best thing to do is to not let this negativity affect you and to set a positive example to the rest of the community so that hopefully these people may come around. | ||

Some people can handle a big paradigm shift in their lives, other people can't. Sheth couldn't, its a shame, but thats how it is. Just to make clear: I am not blaming Sheth for anything. He has done very much for the non-Korean esports scene and is a great player, I respect him for that. My post was solely directed to people who say that Korean cultures is what makes the Korean players more comfortable with those living conditions. | ||

If you can't live with 12 people in the same house (something I'd say is quite reasonable - I have problems with just three roommates) it will affect your play and eventually your overall skill at the game. I hope Sheth makes it to the grand finals of NASL Season 2 and wish him the best of luck. | ||

Oh my... I think it will be a VERY long time before any comparison like this between the SC2 competitive scene and the multi-million (if not billion) dollar industry of the NHL is anything but nonsensical. | ||

I think he's doing what's best for him, and by that I mean what he wants to do, and there's no shame in that. It's not like he straight up said "fuck you FXO guys, I'm out of here". I wasn't paying attention to TL but did Moonglade get this kind of shit for not going? | ||
