Well, Life still goes to school. But then again, university workload (especially at a foreign univerisity) is probably more demanding. | ||

Why does a foreign university make a difference on the workload? I'm fairly sure that a top Korean university would be as tough as a top American university. If he is sensible with his work then he should easily be able to continue practicing, although he will have to refine his practice regime as he will have less hours available. | ||

Maybe he meant because of the language? That should make a big difference. | ||

no offense to any of you, but don't you have any fucking perspective on pro gaming at all? No one can do this forever (white ra and boxer exceptions lol) you get paid peanuts and there is no transition for when you retire. I am so happy he is continuing his studies. He was going to Seoul National University, a top 100 uni in the world, would be a shame if he gave that up for starcraft. Sad yes, but inevitable. We should celebrate his career, not tear up. He is going some place better, with a future, and I know he will represent the community well.

Lets face it, SC2 aint no BW, but you still need to practice every day to be at the pro level. His skill will inevitably decline, but such is life... T_T | ||

I am comparing it to workload of Life. At foreign university, the language barrier makes you slightly more demanding as well. Although since he qualified for the exchange program, his English should be decent. Also, he took a year off from his studies for sc2 this year so it will be a huge change in the amount of practice. But overall, I think it is great for Polt because progaming careers just don't last too long. Nice to see he is getting a good education. | ||

Nah, most Korean universities are not nearly as difficult as US universities, especially when you add in the challenges as an international student, which is kind of weird because of how the Korea K-12 systems is. | ||

The only thing I've seen so far is that Polt is going to America to learn English. If this is the case, then it probably means he just wants to live in the USA, become better at learning English, and join a foreigner team so that he can communicate well and thrive in a foreign environment. | ||

Seems kind of farfetched to just travel to the USA to learn english. Ofcourse you can move to USA to learn english but to me it sounds rather odd, the language barrier isnt huge for him (rather say its almost non-excistant since he speaks it well). For a foreigner its usually harder to speak english than read it. And to be able to read it is what he needs to be able to do if he wants to study there. And thats what I think he will do. He believes he has enough english skills to study his main courses there but he also wants to improve on his english skills while just studying his main stuff. | ||
