Every second that passes makes the fact that we'll lacking new blood in Korea clearer and clearer
hopefully he doesn't retire before the end of the year though, he's a cool guy

I sincerely hope he's not retiring, he's such an entertaining player to watch. It would be such a loss to see him go but at the same time it makes sense. As others have said, he's 28 and still has to do his military service. Unless he never plans on returning to Korea, this might be the last year (or even last few months) that we see him on stage.

Thats horrible news. So many teams shut down their SC2 roster and currently there are so many teamless players... Hopefully Polt doesnt retire yet. Would be another blow to the community

Best of luck to Polt.

As is also mentioned by others, the lack of new blood coming from Korea and also the amount of teams whose involvement in Starcraft 2 is coming to an end is quite worrying.

Oh no Polt... I hope he isn't retiring yet. But I understand he can't play SC2 forever and he has gotta move on from the game eventually.

I thought Polt already did his military service though.

How did people even drag lack of new blood from Korea into this? Sure it's true but they're completely unrelated.

Either find a new team/finance everything with streaming, go back to Korea or retire.

I hope he doesn't retire. I would miss him so much


This so much. I'm a massive fan of Polt, it would be sad to see him leave the scene :`(

Well didn't polt get hit by blizzard's wcs racism?

can be compete in foreign events? if he can't then he has little reason to be a professional starcraft player. i thought he was studying in the US.

He can technically play in all WCS events, just to play in smaller events he can't go through online qualifiers but instead has to go play offline qualifiers/open brackets etc.

Doesn't really matter much for him though, since he hasn't done military service yet his WCS life would have ended after this year anyway.

Hey we found the exception to the rule. A foreign team parting ways with a Korean we CAN'T blame on WCS

So sad to see what is happening to SC2. Just not enough money an attention to keep it going it seems.
