That could be a possibility. He's entered a few online qualifications (for IPL and NASL). And Prime doesn't really have the funds to fly him to foreign tournaments.

Thats nonsense, he has a 100 million won.

Actually probably not, since all asian males turn over their entire savings to their parents -_-

Well why pay for your own travel when a team can do it for you. XD

I really have no idea why he might leave, just spitballing here.

hmm...this is interesting. I say that after university, Polt has a few options:
1. Join EG.
EG has been picking up players left in right (ie Puma, Huk etc.), but idk how much money they can throw at Polt.
2. Join another Korean team (probably MVP, NSH, TSL?)
MVP to team up with DRG? 0_0 lol, i'm not sure about the other two, but he won't be joining SlayerS cause to many terrans, not IM cause they already have their "Big Three", and OGS? maybe...but with NaDa and TOP, i doubt it.
3. Go back to Prime?
highly unlikely, but who knows?

fantasy wise, prime's value will fall hard, but i mean, they've virtually nvr played him, so yah.

but who knows, maybe everyone goes crazy and tries to do ridiculous things to grab him

Please not slayers, please not slayers, please not slayers.

Hopefully not IM either, as I don't really want to root for Polt.

First: There was an update. Apparently Polt did not leave because of school -- he's on leave of absence for the rest of the year -- but because of a difference in vision between himself and his coach.

About the bolded part. Ehhhhhh. SlayerS picked up CoCa who crushed Alicia into the ground when they played. And ST picked up FD and Trickster even though Virus eliminated FD and Trickster kept July from advancing. Just because players beat each other up doesn't mean a team won't court them or that they wouldn't consider a particular team. Polt's looking for a team that'll give him what he's looking for, whatever that is.

I think he meant that OGS have some strong Terrans as it is, and won't really need a Polt on their team. If i'm OGS, i'm pretty happy with Nada, Top, SuperNova and STC as a solid 4man Terran lineup (plus the other guys).

This. I think he wants to be in more foreign tournaments, and his coach does not. That would explain the "different visions" thing.

I would not be surprised if he winds up joining a foreign team.

Between EG and Liquid, they are going to pick the Korean teams dry.

Ahhh, my bad, then.

I dunno how often teams factor in their current line-ups when they're thinking about picking up a player. I can see SlayerS not going for Polt more because SlayerS is absolutely huge than because they have enough Terrans. As for IM ... IM really needs some depth, and I think it'd be smart if they recruit Polt. ST should also try for him because they're lacking in a Terran line-up; they basically have Bomber and that's it. Same with ZeNEX and NSHS. Wouldn't hurt if oGs called him up either; though TOP and Supernova are solid, NaDa's only good at TvT while STC is still in Code B, so Polt could only bolster their team.

Good to know that he'll be with the SC2 scene for a while longer then, though its unfortunate that he probably won't be rejoining Prime if his visions do not align with his coach/the team.

I strongly suspect that it has something to do with the focus on foreign scene, as Polt has on multiple of occasions tried to qualify for the IPL. Prime does not really have strong presence in the foreign scene, and even if they did all they've tried to do was send MarineKing.

They've recruited one Korean each.. hardly see that as "picking the Korean teams dry"

I hope Polt ends up joining a team that will send him out to compete in other countries, would really like to see him play more he's a great player in almost all his matchups (TvT Fail ).

Polt just said in the group selection that he wanted to practice at his own pace. This usually indicates that a player is probably going to a team like StarTale, which has a pretty loose practice schedule. Anyone know the other teams that have looser practice schedules?
You should not have to pay to watch the GSL, Proleague, or OSL at a reasonable time. That is not "fine" and it's BS to say otherwise. My sig since 2011. http://www.youtube.com/user/dabom88

Good luck to Polt, wonder if he is just wanting to be on a different team or if he is just going solo while he finishes up school. MKP is going to need more TvT practice to be the best. His TvT seems a bit off lately.

IMO it's not possible to pick Korean teams dry. There's a hundred odd talent out there lying about in Code B that we have yet to see.
