Um, go to the military after Blizzcon? -_-

Sorry if I'm ignorant of any sort of registration dates or w/e, but this seems silly.

you really think you can decide you can go to military now or 2 weeks later? Either now or next year. Polt is 29 next year, it means he is over 28 and have to leave South Korea permanently. 28 is the latest chance to go military.

edit: actually america is in the same position. I know there is no military enforcement but if america calls you, you better don't fefuse it otherwise you have to leave america permanently very likely.

Its a strict system, and im very sure it isnt up to you when you attend the military.

Cant really blame korea either, i mean with the north threatening nukes on your capital.

Honestly, polt isnt more than a gaming celebrity, and although hes much more known than Random Korean XY he still has to go do his military service.

As many have already posted, it's was either now or never, and if it's never Polt can no longer set foot on Korean soil or risk be arrested AND have his and his family's reputation ruined.

This is a case of the korean military saying "NOW POLT!" Blizzcon be damned.

how can people be saying the game is dead. for me the Korean scene has never been so exciting. the international scene is at its best and having international players being upon the top earners of the year.
we have a non Korean winning a Korean event and we still have 2 events that will earn the winner 200k each.
and keeping in mind all the match fixing scandals at the end of last year having us loose some of the greatest of all time.


i have never been so hyped about starcraft even if i lost my all time favorite player i have become a fan of players outside my favorite race.
I watch more starcraft than i play it

in a way, im glad koreans are making the biggest sc2 tourney in the world seem secondary to them. future of sc2 is looking bleak. not a ded gam post, just be realistic; do you see this game holding up for the next 2-3 years?

Agreed. Polt forfeited his blizzcon spot because the tournament isn't important to him.



youre like a whiny manchild :D

That's just sad. I just wanted to see one last hurrah at Blizzcon against high level competition.

And it makes it even less understandable that he originally signed a multi-year contract with EnVy. Did he not realize?

Weird isn't it? Looks like a sudden chance of plans. Maybe he was counting on some sort of exemption rule he misunderstood or something like that..

This just makes his crappy Kung Fu Cup performance even more upsetting.

Why does a 28 year old have mandatory millitary service?

Anyone know how they did the seeding for the new groups?

It seems like most wcs player just moved up 1 rank and got seeded accordingly(#1 wcs vs #8kr, 2#wcs vs #7kr etc.). For some reason Drogo, Elazer and Violet seem to be on the wrong spot though. Like e.g. Dark as #1kr should be playing vs #8 wcs(drogo) but instead he plays vs violet who is #6 now with the new seeding.

Seems a bit odd to seed everyone based on the wcs ranking except for 3 players.
