I just saw this on Milkis twitter.
Polt changes his name back to Polt. He has also left Prime and no longer belongs to a team.
http://twitter.com/#!/OrangeMilkis/status/113837907189563392
I wonder what the reasoning for him leaving is.

EDIT: Milkis just added
The reasoning he has given was that he "wanted to give/bring new change". I'm not too sure what that means either.

Here's full translation of TIG article(I'll leave Korean names untranslated, as it's pain in the ass to write them in English) :

The Super Tournament Champion 최성훈 will leave OptimusPrime behind and return to Polt.

Prime coach, 박외식(GerradPrime) announed on 14th that 최성훈 is leaving Prime and will act as an indepedant player.

최성훈 has been consistently participating GSL since Open Season 1, and won first chapionship for Prime in LG Cinema 3D Super Tournament and was presented the name OptimusPrime.

최성훈 who's been in Prime for about a year, left the team expressing he wants changes and will act as an independant player.

Prime coach 박외식 said "I am thankful to 최성훈 who has been with Prime since Open Seasons, and as he's a player who is dilligent in everything, I have faith that he will continue to be competitive even after he leaves the team" and added “For now I have made this decision believing that respecting 최성훈's opinion is more beneficial, but I hope to keep good relationship withi him and have him back in Prime in the future"


As result 최성훈 will not be part of Prime in upcoming 2011 GSL Season 6 Code S which will hold group nomination on 15th.

I guess he just wanted to focus on uni... Seoul University is no joke, and it must have taken quite a bit for him to be able to balance both school and starcraft.

I was thinking it was more to do with Koreans being with Korean teams.
But it's been done before.
