Athlete Visa is not nationality if i am not mistaken


... but it can be a path to citizenship.


As interesting as whether Polt counts as an American or not is it doesn't really matter. I mean he's here because he's in school. He won't go back to Korea to compete in proleague until he's done with whatever portion of his education he's getting in the USA


Actually, Polt was in the US for school under a student visa, I believe. Then he got his Athlete's visa. He has since suspended his studies and is competing full time, AFAIK.


What was Polt studying?

English

This man has it right. While Polt probably did study some English while he was here (nearly all foreign students in the US take some kind of English as Second Language education) but his actual course of study was, IIRC, veterinary science.

Polt - he's so American he can heal Bald Eagles.

Lets be honest, foreign teams would just lower the competition quality of the league.

I think they did. Okay they weren't the best team but they certainly had their fair share of entertaining matches. And every league needs an underdog and Prime did pull of a few upsets - they beat CJ Entus if I recall correctly.
