Lmao.

Lets petition Kim Jong-un for stopping being a threat to SK so e athletes can shine.


Surely it's all just black and white. There is no chance that the North Korea threat is a convenient excuse for their government to extract a couple of years of forced labor from each man and for their military to strengthen its position. Conscription army is the only and the most efficient way to fight an enemy even in the 21st century.

wouldn't an army doctor have to sign off on him not meeting their physical standards to delay his service? so wouldn't that mean it's the military's decision, not his? im not south korean, so i could be wrong, but i cant imagine they let people just say "yeah, im sick, cant join up yet"

im sorry for whatever made you so quick to judge and ridicule total strangers and i hope you heal

How can that be good news? First, health problem is never good news, second if his army service is delayed even more i dont see him returning to sc2.
Why so serious?

I don't even know if he ever plans on returning, if he's gone for another few months before his service, then does his service, he'd be looking at a Polt 2020 or 2019 comeback, and there's no telling what SC's gonna look like by that point.

Not in a bad way, or anything of course. But I think he's probably gonna take it one year at a time.

It could be anything laying it out like that. With an issue of any sort, the military wants to be improving a person throughout their mandatory training. Insisting a civilian can do something when they physically can't is counter productive to mandatory participation. Old injuries are important to assess, as well as current form. In that sense it's a blessing he didnt go and sustain injury.

To see this makes me question whether or not South Korea knows he's captain America. Do they have the same cable packages as us foreigners? Captain America can take the pain. There is this part in one'a his movies where he's hanging, and then he falls all over his back. It's totally brutal. For sure, I know if Poltu can preform at that level, and take matches off of people like, foreigners and koreans, and other foreigners, he can handle the BBQ in the korean kitchen(military).

Hope the best for his body, he's a strong mind.

I think what he means is that the military isn't ready for his body yet, instead of the other way around.

Probably some wrist or other related injuries, it isn't going to break the South Korean armies back that every 1 or 2 people out of 100 don't meet the physical requirements and they can't use them.

The army doctor is a Polt fan.

Abuse of a professional player, and a much loved one at that, gets a warning. How about a life time ban of this worthless piece of **** instead?

Those four asterisks could of course be for w-o-r-k.

Good to have Polt streaming for a little longer then. And yes he needs to do his military service because of the threat to South Korea's existence that comes from the North.

This is nothing unusual for the world of Korean esports players. Conscription is a mandatory part of modern South Korean life, something both Polt and his now former team EnVyUs were aware of upon signing the Terran player in May 2016.

Known by his fans as “Captain America” for being one of the most dominant players currently residing in the USA, Polt was considered by many to be one of the favorites to win the StarCraft 2 Global Playoffs and Finals that will take place at Blizzcon in a few weeks. However, because of the timing of this development, Polt will be forced to drop out of Blizzcon and forfeit his shot at the $250k grand prize. He will also be leaving Team EnVyUs.
