Sheth not returning to Korea from NASL - Page 41

Watching the videos from the team houses, where it's typical that Korean players sleep on the floor, have multiple guys to one bedroom...I can kinda see how moving from home to that type of environment would be a huge shock to your system.

Who knows how FXO's teamhouse was setup, maybe it was setup to be more foreigner-friendly, but what I'm trying to say is, it probably wasn't any one thing that bothered Sheth enough for him to throw in the towel. It was surely a snowball little things here and there, and finally the homesickness topped it all off, and decision to leave was simply the light at the end of the tunnel.

You work hard, only to see that it's a life not worth living.

So you GG now, before it's too late.

Yeah that actually makes a lot of sense. I hope we'll get to see him in "our" tournaments then, such as Dreamhack and MLG, and possibly next NASL. I actually didn't check the info on the second season, it's been so busy for me in the last few days that I feel I need to take a deep breath.

Every time I watch some tournament with friends, I think we all pretty much root for him when we see him.

We like Sheth!

I think FXO should think seriously at Sheth's complaints and consider creating a team house. I know they have a FXO mansion but how viable is it since its not located near Soul? Also this goes on GOM's shoulders for not finding a bigger place to house FXO. They should have done everything in their power to accomodate FXO comfortably.

I read pretty much every post in this entire thread, including Sheth's explainations.
This whole thing is pretty laughable.

1) I wanted to install rosetta stone but they didn't have CDROM drives (when you buy rosetta stone online you download it, if you bought a retail copy you can still download the media files and use your key on the sleeve)

2) I wanted to go home after the GSTL but learned due to flight restrictions I would have to experience Korea an additional two weeks. This is unacceptable.

3) Korea is for people who are about 5 foot 1 inch and roughly 98lbs dripping wet

All being said, it's completely obvious to anyone paying attention to this that Sheth offered to sleep over your house, but then called his mom and asked for her to come pick him up. He knows it's a dick move, but he's doing it anyways.

You put faith in people, and then they bring their personal problems to work. Time was, shame would keep this behavior in check. Seems like shame has been nerfed over the past couple decades

How is it laughable at all? It is Sheth's personal choice to go home for many different reasons which are his own. You can go on and on about what you might have done in his shoes, but the fact of the matter is that he is going back to America for MLG and the like.

1. Sheth's issues with Rosetta Stone were completely legitimate for him. Perhaps he could have downloaded the program off of some external server, but Rosetta Stone is an expensive investment regardless. I'm sure that if Sheth wants to go to Korea for any great length of time he would like to learn about the culture and immerse himself in the Korean lifestyle. Language is the barrier which bars him from doing this.

2. With MLG Anaheim coming up, Sheth wanted to be able to spend time with his family before playing over in America. Certainly he could have stayed in Korea for the remainder of that time, but it is understandable why he took the early flight home rather than wait. After all there were other conditions which he was not particularly happy with at the time as well, and besides, MLG is tiring in and of itself. Nothing like some family time to prepare yourself for it.

3. That is a pretty silly statement. Sheth explained that he enjoyed Korea, but some of the living conditions weren't for him. Maybe some people do not like to be cramped together in a small room, no?

And what is all this about shame and other crap? Sheth did stay in Korea for the majority of his prescribed travel time. Sure he did not stay and watch the rest of his team play in the GSTL, but that was his choice. Get over it. It sure does annoy me when some people make these hardcore posts detailing exactly what should happen without putting themselves in their target's shoes. Be a bit more lenient. After all, I believe Sheth said that he would like to go to Korea again after he has had a bit more time to prepare himself for the experience.

And as for all that crap about sleeping over and what not, it's more like Sheth came over to your house for five days out of the week and then requested to go home for the last two so that he could see his family for a couple days before going back to school....
