I can have some privacy, stream more and be all around more relaxed. All is forgiven. | ||

Learning a language is hard, it's not something you're going to do in 2 weeks or even 5 months. Being disappointed about that, especially when the only effort was to buy rosetta stone (which is a horrible way to learn a language, especially an eastern one) makes no sense at all. If you wanted to learn korean, you should have stopped with the progaming and gone to a language school in korea. It would still take at least a year before you could communicate on a comfortable level. Right so he's going to go to Korea with the intention of furthering his PROGAMING training, then stop Progaming so he could go to language school and learn Korean, effectively making the trip to Korea in the first place useless? Okay. | ||

Rooting for you no matter where you are homie! I understand, sometimes a man just needs his space and living in the Gom house couldnt have provided much solitary time. Go home, chill out, come back better (and more entertaining), and I'll still be here watching you. <3 | ||

Shame to see Sheth not returning, but people should certainly respect that he finds that it was not his thing. | ||

Okay. Not everyone wants to practice 12 hours a day and do nothing else, some people also want to do something else with their lives and have more then 1 hobby  .No offense to those koreans, but practicing 12 hours a day and do absolutely nothing else so u can be the best isn't healthy. | ||

Okay. It was hypothetical advice. He obviously went there to game professionally, which means it would be impossible for him to learn korean in the timeframe he seems to have hoped for. Learning a language takes determination, it's easily a fulltime job if you live in a country and want to speak it as fast as possible. I'm not saying he should have stopped progaming, I'm saying he has no reason to be disappointed about not being able to learn korean. | ||

And, well, not everyone is built for travel and dorm life. This came up in one of the previous FXO threads, but we tend to forget that Korea to a Korean is a 4h, max, train ride home. For anyone else, it can be a brutally long flight and a culture barrier. Then you have to up your SC2 game at the same time. Not everyone is ready for those huge changes. So, practice hard, rest up, and kick some ass at MLG dude! | ||

I think, in the end, it was just too much for Sheth right now. | ||

Most people's job involves working at least 8 hours a day (plus travel time etc...), I don't see why pro gamers should be any different. Regardless it's Sheth's life, he can do as he wants. However, the days of winning any major tournaments or even placing well without living the pro gaming house life are severely numbered. | ||

 I totally understand Sheth's decision though. I would not be able to live with 10 guys either. I guess it's easier for younger kids who move directly from their parents place to pro houses. But for older players who are used to living on their own in their own place that kind of transition can be extremely hard. | ||

Sheth would be able to get by awesomely there cause everyone speaks english in Malaysia (though some do sound like kellymilkies) - so it wouldn't be a "forever alone" feeling. Not to mention the FXO house is probably like a palace in comparison to the GOM house... | ||
