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 -_-


What, thats crazy. Why?

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.


Maybe that was the problem. He produced very good results in the last months and MarineKing is struggeling/slumping atm and all they try to do is to send MKP.

I hope he'll return to Prime in the future for more Maka/MKP/Polt bromance :D

MKP has the most fans...who are they suppose to send...the guy who sells their brand or the guy who wins and is underappreciated on the foreign scene?

Seems only rational for Polt to be turning away from SC2 after he gets his super university degree. Pro-gaming is very cool and all, but i think a top student at Korean Universities has many prestigious paths to pursue.

That's what I meant, maybe he's searching for a team which is focused on/around him and where he is the superstar.

Was Polt's pictures ever in PrimeZzang?

It's possible he disliked that part of the teams' activities.Maybe he felt it wasted training time. Maybe he is just uncomfortable with that idea. His interview did say he had some differences in vision with the coach.

I think it'd be good to understand it as there being little differences between the way our coach thinks and the direction the team is seeking out and my own thoughts.

Nice to see a player leaving with good graces from the coach after all the shitstorms that have been stirred up in the past couple months.

I'm guessing that MKP got really mad at Polt for taking the Optimus name and Polt got scared and ran away.

In all seriousness this is very strange. It would make more sense if he was leaving the team to join a different team but in this case he's leaving to be an independent player. Only thing I can think of is that he wants to focus on his schoolwork and can't keep up with the practice schedule of the team. Still it's strange that there isn't a more comprehensive explanation.

What the...? I love Polt, I just really hope that he can be accepted into another team which will help him to continue to succeed.

No drama here looks to be something like when band members leave because of creative differences. I wish Polt good luck in his future SC2

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


? Who is in this "Big Three"?

come to think of it I would be extremely pissed if I were Polt if MKP was getting sent to EGWC and getting all the publicity when he's the one who won a GSL and been putting up amazing results !!
