It'll be EG. Whatever they are doing they are unaffected by the plight of some of these other teams with financial concerns.

The first 2 years of Veterinary School is just as hard as the first 2 years of Medical School.

I won't be surprised if he decides to quit SC2 after a few months of trying to juggle both.


Which is why Polt's reputation is so respected, he manages to put up top-tier, Code S level play when he should be preoccupied with studying in a difficult program in Korea's best university.


If you're comparing undergrad to veterinary/medical school... it's not comparable. The first year course load is closer to all four years of undergrad combined. And yes, I'm speaking from experience.

I'm not saying it's impossible. I'm saying it's insane.

Is he doing vet school in the US? I know he studies animal science and biotech, but afaik, it sounds like he's doing a language program to brush up his English and not necessarily doing animal science stuff while abroad. And while he'll be juggling courses with SC2, I don't think the language program will take up that much time.


Oh, okay.

That's very different from what I thinking then.

TSL without Polt is pretty hard to imagine.
I mean Polt was TSL incarnated...

Would Love Azubu.Polt.
Also Violet and Polt living together ;D The two sexiest korean players.

The Ethan Ahn Tweet only mentions "language training." Otherwise I'd totally agree with you about it being ridiculous. I'm not sure if he has actually finished undergrad yet either; the last I heard was that he took a semester (or a year) off to pursue progaming, so I don't know if he's even applied for vet school yet.

I'm rooting for coL or Axm, but moreover, I'm hoping he does indeed go to Liquid. Azubu would be intriguing as well.

While I think EG could afford him if they really wanted to, I'm not sure Polt fits their current Proleague plans.

Yeah, I doubt he will go to study Animal Biotechnology in the US. I'm pretty certain its an opportunity to improve his English skills and attend foreign tournaments, rather than study at an American university.

I was thinking it's probably a foreign exchange/study abroad program, so he'll maybe be taking classes at a partnered university in the USA. It lines up pretty well time-wise as well, since most US universities start the new semester early-January. But this is all speculation, of course.

EG needs a decent Terran + he's friends with Revival, Puma, JYP and Stephano.

Somehow Polt does not look like a potential TL recruit to me. He has been known for a long time and teamliquid tends to buy players who are on the rise.


IMO that's more of a financing issue than a set-in-stone behavior style. Taeja, Hero, and Zenio were all fairly mediocre in the beginning and I don't think many people predicted how good they would get (especially since Hero didn't get much screen time when oGs also had MC/Vines/Inca).

With Barracuda Networks, anything is possible


Zenio's peak was before he got on TL.


But Zenio was only baught because he had to leave oGs.

Exactly what I think, they are focusing on proleague so Polt would not be a good choice. They also recruited 2 players recently and I don't think Jaedong was cheap.
