This is awesome news, are other AM players like Polt recognized as athletes too? Polt is in the US on a student visa as he is studying at Texas A&M or something like that. Polt is actually studying at the University of Texas at Austin, not A&M. That's actually a pretty big difference among us Texans, so don't go around mixing the two up if you're ever down here 
Yup, unless you're down for a fight. Too bad Polt decided to go to the second-rate school that is UT  lol
On topic, congrats for Violet!

Aren't all Texas schools second rate kind of except for Rice?
U of T Austin has a great law program though.

EG.viOlet inc.
Actually, I think his personality fits better on Liquid- also would give Liquid a serious top tier trifecta (sorry Zenio )

U of T Austin also has a top-20 Business School too.
So no, U of T is not second rate.

Nice generalization. Yeah, here in Texas we ride horses to school (only attend school after herding cattle, number one priority) and our women chew tobacco.

Have you been in texas or even talked to people from texas? I have done the latter and the answer is no

Assuming there's multiple rates beyond second rate, then I guess almost all Texas schools (along with most other schools) are second rate or worse.

Now hold on Skeeter, he ain't hurtin' nobody.
Seriously though, I think he's probably just a highschool kid who is looking at a list of "Top 25 Schools".

So happy for viOLet, we can finally see him play and he overcame the diplomatic hurdles to his dreams.
|
This is great news for NA ladder IF Violet participates. Let's hope he does and gives everyone some great practice.
|
Good for violet, makes you doubt MLG as an organization.
|
Wow great news haven't heard news about violet in forever
|
This is actually huge. Afaik it's already happened in LoL but seeing it happen in SC2 just reaffirms the fact that it is huge.
It gives validity to the notion that "professional e-sports athlete/player" is actually a profession. Big ups for the U.S. Government and all the people involved making this possible.

Ya, those lists are BS, public schools like UT regularly get shafted on the rankings.
I went to a public school and our rival is a private school who's shot up the rankings like 10, 20 places every year and finally tied us. Does anyone really believe a school can 'improve' that quickly? Not me, they basically gamed all the monetary rankings (alumni fundraising, spending on research, and other money categories that have little to do with what ugrads actually do).
Rankings aside though, the perception of a school's quality goes up the closer you live to it too lol (having friends who studied all over the US it's interesting to see what their peers thought of as top-schools).
Edit: On topic, I'm wondering where the rumor that Violet was a Visa overstay came from then if that wasn't the case.
