Kinda obvious he won't do SC2 full time, have really enjoyed his play in the beginning of SC2 and hoped for some special stuff in Hots. Hopefully a great NA team can pick him up. | ||

Or Team Liquid announces their new sitcom 'Pony Tales' starring Hot_Bid, R1CH and Polt, where they all get into lots of crazy capers. For the pilot episode Polt deletes the Team Liquid source code trying to make room for his HoTS install. | ||

Polt is not planning to be full time pro. EG needs full time pros which will be streaming and going to as many tournaments as possible. Polt is not going to give them this as he is going to study. I rather believe that it may be Azubu or Liquid. | ||

Now Korea came to NA instead, and both sides can learn from each other. You are in another perspective.It's actually not good for NA at all, do you have any idea how hard it is to go from nothing to a successful pro gamer in NA? All the MLG's are filled with Koreans, all the NASL's are filled with Koreans, all the IPL's are filled with even more Koreans. There are no events that aren't extremely extremely difficult to win. In EU, the Koreans don't travel there as much and you actually have a shot at winning something like a dreamhack, homestory cup, or IEM. The smallest NA LAN I can think of in the last year was http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/GIGABYTE_ESPORTS_LAN_Invitational and it was dominated by Koreans too America is their playground, they take 90%+ of the money from every premier event. Now that Polt is moving to NA, he can play in NA qualifiers for events like MLG or IPL. Previously he had to fight the entirety of Code A and S for spots in those tournaments, now he gets to prey on weaker NA gamers and get easy spots. If enough good Korean pro gamers move to NA you will never see a real NA player in a premier tournament ever again. And no they aren't going to restrict access to polt from playing in NA qualifiers, technically he is NA and it would be unfair to make him play with lag on KR to qualify. Golden and Sleep played NA qualifiers. It is supposed to be hard going from nothing to something. Otherwise anyone could do it. It gives NA a higher aim to do better, when it is harder to compete. It is not a lost cause either. Lastly, Polt is a likable and intelligent guy, and that can only be a plus. | ||

Whatever he does I hope he's happy with it. The guy is amazing, super nice from what I've seen so far and hugely talented. He deserves it all. | ||
