And what about physical exercise (regarding polt)? Can someone just skip that and still be fine? I guess households chors include preparing food, or can you eat healthy takeaway food for a decent price in SK?

Really impressive by Polt, I fell in love with his healthy attitude. I think that keeps him from feeling easily exhausted. I kind of feel inspired to give all my free time too playing sc2 now, just for the heck of it, but working overtime and cash it all out in a 30 days vacation in Asia simply is too good to let go off. I feel split in my head!

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.

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.

18 hours of classes for me means I need to put in the work of 72 hours per week to my studies. I don't know exactly how Polt's school count credit hours, but I can't imagine him putting in anything less than 36 hours per week to keep up.

Cool content. Is it just me that feels the tonality of HerO and Polt's voices would actually suit the image of the other player better?

Didn't a caster say that HerO is half Canadian during the recent WCS? I think it was Day9... not sure if he was telling the truth either.

I.. No. Pretty sure he is full Korean, but Day9 said cuz you know they were in Toronto in Canada so... People get hyped if you say something like that.

I have 28. FML.

But from what I know about english classes the homework shouldn't be too bad. At least if it is anything like it is at German universities. Still very impressive by Polt.

If Polt keeps improving his english at this rate he should be perfectly capable of being a commentator full time in next few years. Although his voice may not be ideal.

Awesome interviews! Thanks for your effort!
The Polt interview somehow gets you motivated: just because you start working doesn't mean that you have to give
up your dreams!
hwaitiiing!


Well you do have to give up your sleep apparently, which reasonable people don't want to do.

I study a Masters Degree. I have less than 18 hours (Around 16 hours), and I spend a great deal of time preparing and doing projects. Plus reading of course. Our line of study is considered 50 hours work load during the week due to a long summer holiday etc.

So from 16 -> 50 would mean that for Polt it should be around 56 hours of school.

Obviously this isn't necessary the case, but just goes to show that just because you don't have lectures it doesn't mean you don't have to spend time working.

Wait, let me get this straight. He takes 18hrs of English every week? He only studies English, that's it? No other subject? Not to take anything from polt, but having just one subject to study (even 18hrs) is not that hard, and that's why he says so. It's a foreign language, not rocket science, you know?
