That's why I wrote "in a sense" and not that it was a fact. As in you're potentially saving the money for the flight back to korea and than to MLG again. Of course you'll most likely already have paid for these flights beforehand and/or the actual tournaments pay/paid/would've paid for these flights. | ||

One in particular is well known to drink and smoke a lot. He still is the best player at one of the best clubs in the Netherlands. Could he be better if he didn't drink and smoke? Yes. But he's happy the way it is now and nobody feels entitled to say he must stop smoking and drinking. It's just the way it is. I also understand your point about sports being different. Sports require a lot more sacrifices than other careers. But that doesn't mean it requires every sacrifice that one can make. And I dare say Sheth has made a lot of sacrifices already. He has sacrificed more then probably 99% of the people arguing in this thread for sure. But in his post the reason for not flying back seems to boil down to the fact that FXOpen was unable to provide him with a ticket to return home before MLG to see his family. And I think that you can be critical of that. Again... Sheth himself knows best what is good for him but let me say that I'm surprised by how calmly FXOpen seems to react to the fact that Sheth is not returning to Korea because of that. I do not know what their agreement with GomTV is but when I saw the GSTL schedule the first time I noticed right away that FXOpen plays every week the first couple of weeks without a break in between. I'm quite sure that was done on purpose for the benefit of FXOpen. | ||

Hope the other guys stick it out, with Malaysia as well. They'll improve so much as a team. | ||

It makes me wish he had just stayed in America all along. | ||

Some people are going to be better off without it. People have different personalities (gasp!) and for some, having no privacy and living with 12 people in cramped conditions will simply not allow you to grow as a player or operate optimally as a person. It is unfortunate that Sheth left early, as I do believe that he does have some responsibility to his team to stay, but otherwise Sheth knows what's best for Sheth and those who are bashing him over that are only showing their own immaturity and closed-mindedness. | ||

Everyone will benefit from the Korean training style. Everyone is best off in a small team house with no privacy. Some people are going to be better off without it.

I don't think people assume equal personalities but people are just stating the fact that Korea is the best place to train for SC2 and this might hurt Sheth's chances at becoming the player Huk or Jinro has become with the Korean training. If you actually purely consider SC2 and training, Korea is the best and the best style. The results show it and there's no denying it. Also, I think most people are being supportive of Sheth's decision. He had good reasons and if his life isn't up for the task of Korea then it's his choice. | ||

Several things that have kept me from staying for another Code A at this time and from even going back after NASL. First off I was hoping to have been able to learn Korean better, I bought Rosetta stone even, however in the GOM house there are no CD drives. Thus I couldn't do that and thus I was unable to go do things I had planned on. (I could have read a book on it, or went out of my way in my free time to do this, I just bring this up as something that was disapointing.) probably the most disturbing part of the thread - what kinda internet-gaming training house doesn't have CD DRIVES on their computers? what the hell? | ||

It's possible that Sheth would be worse off if he stayed in that environment not only as a person, but also as a player. While it's true that the best players in the world thrived in that environment, it doesn't mean that every player will thrive in it. It's a fallacy to assume that everyone will become a better player in the korean training environment, just because the best players came from it. | ||

Sacrifices, people, are we all just spoiled gamers that don't want to fucking work for a living? I work a full time job and am currently getting through college by doing online courses. Dedicating probably 60-70 hours a week to purely working. And then someone bitches that they couldn't see their family for a week?...... this is your job, welcome to the real world. This worries me because I see too many people given opportunities and squandering them. If players continue to do this, and organizations don't put their foot down, then Koreans will continue to be top, and it will continue, and the disparity will get larger and larger, cause they will have practiced harder and better. | ||
