What happened to wolf ( or was it doa? Cannot remember) saying you can pickup basic hongul in an afternoon (expecting overstatement here) in about an afternoon, since the language was built with ease of learning? Also, ummm. No CD drives? I can probably think of a lot of free and easy to use places to learn Korean. Im just not getting this one. I am NOT being critical, just trying to understand what has been posted so far. The privacy thing I totally understand. You can definitely pickup hangul in an afternoon, it's a very logical and simple writing system since it's so modern. Unfortunately, it doesn't help you much at all. Going from being able to read a word of hangul at 1 symbol a second to actually being able to read a sentence with decent speed is a huge jump, and even if you do, you have no idea what any of it means. Korean words conjugate quite hardcore, it can be hard to know when two words are just two forms of the same word. Well thats fine no one is expecting anyone to pick up the language and operate it perfectly in a really short amount of time. I mean non english speakers speak really really broken english and we dont really get all uppity over it. How are Koreans at accepting Konglish, or no wait, Engrean? Koreans are like Japanese. They LOVE when you show interest for their language and will call you great at it when you say hello incorrectly. That said, when you get beyond the "omfg that's so cute, he sounds like a baby", it gets pretty tough. Koreans and Japanese are not used to foreigners speaking their language like Americans are with English. They can easily misunderstand or not understand you at all, even if what you're saying is pretty much correct, only with bad pronunciation and some misses in the grammar. What if I am pretty good at not anglicizing spoken words. I can duplicate the sound fairly well. But my overall knowledge of the language is pretty minimal. Can I learn broken Korean? And have it be understood? Absolutely, but why stop at that? If you can get to that point, all you have to do is improve a bit and it won't be broken ^^. However, not anglicizing words is a big thing. If you're good at that, it will help you a lot. Yeah I have pretty good mouth micro or at least im told from years of french class. That is great news then. A language you can pick up quickly and an appreciative audience? Oh yeah i am totally feeling that. That being said. For a person who doesn't play LANS.... to go to GSL? Major balls. Big ones. | ||

Some just need their space and suddenly going from your own apartment to bunking with 10 other people isn't cut out for everyone. No offence, but those sound like "personal" reasons to me. Its not like Sheth suddenly had VISA issues and had to give up all chance at staying in korea despite it being against his will. We can all agree that this feels like a waste but i cant help but feel let down that his decision is due to such. | ||

Going to Korea shouldn't be a prerequisite to getting respect as a foreigner. Perhaps putting in a lot of work in a country not named Korea can make you a great player as well? You're also misunderstanding sickles argument. He's not saying you have to be in korea and do good to be respected, he's saying it's a waste that Sheth took the opportunity to go there and then leave his team to fight alone. He has good reasons which at least I respect and understand, but that doesn't make it less of a waste. It's not really a waste because you dont know what you're getting into until you actually get into it. And he WAS taking a shot at sheth, saying you deserted your teammates is a pure insult. You dont just linearly get better in Korea no matter what, if you're miserable than you can't help that. In reality you'll be spending your days in a foreign country that's alien to you in essentially a dorm with no outlets to your family or friends at home. It's not for everyone. | ||

Korea might be a difficult experience, but guess what?, Sheth's full time job is to be a professional gamer representing FXO. I am sure many of us have had to make sacrifices on our jobs and progaming should be no exception, especially if we want e-sports to be taken more seriously. I am sure if any of us pulled this on our jobs, we'd be cleaning our desks the very next day. Two weeks is certainly not enough and I can say that is was a disrespectful move to bail on the team especially after the organization flew him back to the US for NASL and I am sure booked a return ticket for him for Korea. Not many players have the privilege for that type of financial backing and I am sure none of this was a cheap investment. I apologize for sounding a bit harsh in advance if Sheth had more severe reasons to not return to Korea, but the biggest loser is certainly the fans. Maybe Sheth isn't someone I should be rooting for. Looking forward to Naniwa, Thorzain, Fenix, and Sase in August. | ||

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. 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. Actually the best sportsman around the world work and live like this. Do you think C. Ronaldo just watches TV the whole day? He practices shooting and other stuff even after the team practice is done. | ||

Few just wouldn't make it. Haha, very true. If I'm not mistaken Sheth had only moved out from home fairly recently, so to go from living with family to living with one room-mate to having 10+ guys in one house within several months can be pretty tough. | ||
