These guys are just too awesome <3


But, man! Polt! You are just freaking amazing! Your English, your attitude, your skills! Especially your attitude! He just seems like the nicest guy ever! Would love to meet him one day! So inspirational!

Yeah, Polt's English skills are great! I couldn't tell so well in the games I saw him casting with DAy[9] but he is very good. :D
I wasn't surprised at what Polt was saying about studies. *Shrug*
18 hours isn't "full-time" like a full-time job with SC2. Normally you'd study a lot outside of course hours but maybe with THAT many hours dedicated just to the one subject, he isn't required need to? I'm not sure though.
I was hoping he would get at least 6 every night though. 8 is always nicer than 6 but getting less than 6 (4-5) always feels much rougher for me than actually getting at least 6.
I hope he's careful about not sleeping too little, for the sake of his health! The same could be said for many korean students though.

HerO does speak English well enough for interviews, but of course if your vocabulary is still somewhat limited and you're not feeling very confident, giving interviews in English would be very daunting, even if you easily speak enough for it.
In other news, more evidence that Hirai rocks.

edit: basically a lot of what Fuchsteufelswild also said :p, was slower

It's still impressive but i'm more surprised at the reactions in the thread.
30+ hours of classes in college was normal in portugal (dunno now), around 6 hours or more per day in high-school.
18 is around 3.6 hours per day, it still leaves plenty of time for other things. In addition is just english.
What makes it impressive to me is still the dedication to starcraft itself and ocasional chores, he has a better time management than many i guess

I do hope he manages to sleep 6+ hours more often than not though, below 6 he may cause permanent brain damage if i'm not mistaken. And it's probably detrimental to his practice and tournament performance even though he didn't like to think of that because of sounding as an excuse

Regardless, awesome dedication and glad he still loves it! good luck to Polt at blizzcon, hope to continue seeing him play for a long long time

Thanks for the interviews

Polt is so good at SC AND at his life. He is a role model for people who want to become progamer imo. Admirable guy.

You will notice the camera starts to shake after Polt explains how easy it is to take 18 credit hours and win WCS America back to back and that's because I couldn't stop laughing at how goddamn nonchalant he is about not sleeping, as if everyone does that and it's the most straight forward and easy decision to make.

we will also notice how the cam follows when a beautiful gal goes by, but you hold it like a boss then.

You don't have 40 hours of lectures a week though, do you?

HerO tried to decline a video interview at WCS America. A simple "Hey, who pays you?" quickly resolved that.

18 hours of classes is actually not that much, you could do that in 2 days and this would leave 5 days of the week free.
