Maybe he doesn't want the responsibility that comes with being in a team since he's going to the most prestigious university in Korea. Better to not be tied down.

One year ago, when HuK Polt became PoltPrime, we at EG were left wondering what could've been. We spent the past twelve months watching from the sidelines as Polt, thanks in large part to excellent support from Prime, went to Code S, and most recently, became a Champion of the GSL.

With his Prime contract expiring, we decided that we didn't want to spend another year looking in from the outside. After receiving permission from GerrardPrime, the owner of Prime, we entered negotiations with Polt, and quickly came to a verbal agreement. After several weeks, and multiple discussions with Polt, his new contract with EG was finalized. Subsequently, after speaking with Gerrard, EG purchased the remainder of his current contract from Prime.


:D

I dunno what that was. At least i thought it was funny. ^.^ Best of luck to Polt though. Watching him in the Gom studio at the team leagues, he seems to be very tight with the Prime members and Gerrard so I do think this is on good terms. Best of luck to Polt.

While he isn't bottom skilled, he certainly isn't top skilled right now. Puma, Huk and DeMuslim are all better atm.


IdrA is, however, the most popular player by far and gets by far the most viewers for his matches - which is much more valueable than skill.

And saying that DeMuslim is more skilled might be true, but there are no results to back that up.

I'm pretty sure IdrA would be the last player to get kicked from EG.

Ranking isn't necessarily going to correlate with difficulty however, whether that be in terms of hours spent studying or teaching methods

Firstly, he's doing law.

Secondly, Seoul university is the top university in Korea. Now this is probably unsupported, but Koreans admitted into Seoul university are by far smarter than the large majority of students in University of Michigan, Duke, University of California Berkeley, Northwestern University, UCLA, and University of Wisconsin.

My friend got into UCLA studying 2-3 hours a day. Kids in Korea study up to 12 hours a day and only 1% or so make it into Seoul Korea.

IMPolt, EGPolt.

Either way, good player on the loose!

My prediction:
He will finish school. He will not come back to SC2.
He's too smart to play SC2 fulltime when he has his SU degree. I dont really think that's his career plan.

This came out of nowhere. He probably did it to finish up school, maybe he's going to come back after he's done.

lol bro, youre proud about some rankings? :D
No "real" studies are a joke, this has nothing to do with the so-called top x universities smartypants, at least not for somebody trying to compete in a sports with some fulltime pros.

It's either because of uni and he'll free up time for it like that while staying somewhat competitive without any responsibilites or pressure or he simply didn't get what he wanted in negotiations with Prime. IMPolt seems possible, OGSPolt isn't that far out there either, Slayers is probably full in terms of Ts but EG could easily pick him up if say he wants to do a Masters in the US anyway?^^

Yes but he may not join a team, it doesn't appear to be a disagreement with prime, more a reluctance to commitments. I imagine, he's going to be taking programming a lot less seriously to finish his course with a good degree
