Very sad to see this, I hoped that seeing how the Koreans dominated in the NASL finals would've motivated him to train his ass off in Korea and step up his game even more. Well, so much for my Fantasy GSTL.

Hey there TL. I wanted to be the first one to explain this, but I guess Josh beat me to it.

Last time for Code A I didn't explain everything to the community and problems occurred, so this time I will! (Mostly =D )

I have thoroughly enjoyed my time in KR in the GOM foreigner house playing in both Code A and GSTL. I have had a great time with GSL and all of the wonderful people in Kor. Besides my team I've had the experience to be able to hang out with Tastlesss, Artosis and Torch. There are others of course, but hanging out with those three was a great time.

However there were things I was unaware of going into Korea. Several things that have kept me from staying for another Code A at this time and from even going back after NASL. First off I was hoping to have been able to learn Korean better, I bought Rosetta stone even, however in the GOM house there are no CD drives. Thus I couldn't do that and thus I was unable to go do things I had planned on. (I could have read a book on it, or went out of my way in my free time to do this, I just bring this up as something that was disapointing.)

Secondly I was expecting to stay here for a month (through all of GSTL) and then go home. However it turned out that there were no flights available from the team for me go go back after GSTL. I don't know how this happened (something to do with buying flights in bulk), but either way I wouldn't have been able to go home after GSTL to see my family for a week before MLG. This was something I had greatly looked forward to while in Korea. Having to stay away for another 2 weeks or so might not seem a big deal, and it wouldn't be for a lot of people however it was for me. I miss my family and friends quite a lot.

Thirdly just quite brutally honestly I'm not fit for staying with 10 other guys in a small area constantly for a month mixed in with random 12 hours flights back to America for things such as NASL and then MLG. Its just not something I enjoy at all and I would have put up with it were I able to at least visit home to recharge after GSTL.

I realize if anyone is to blame here its me, for not being able to stay in the team house like I had said I would for a whole month. I'm very very sad to have left my team in Korea to finish GSTL without me. This is a dick move. I get it. However try and put yourself in my shoes, that's the only defense I can offer. I will miss my team and the training quite a bit. I can go into plenty of excuses, but the main point is I'm leaving the GOM foreigner house to go home where I can have some privacy, stream more and be all around more relaxed. Those who saw me at NASL can tell I was stressed and tired, hopefully being at home for a while will fix that.

I will miss you in Korea team and if in the future I can find a way to live on my own in Korea and go to "work" at the GOM house for the day I'm sure I will try my best to do this. However for now I'm heading home to prepare for MLG in my own way. Hopefully you at TL the reader can respect this and if not I understand. I still have much love for FXO and ofc TL. <3 Sheth

Understandable reasons. Go crush some American/European tourneys for us now

I don't think there is anything wrong with your decision. It sounds like staying might have even made you play worse in upcoming tournaments.

Goodluck in all your endeavors Sheth!

It's hard to live in a 'small' teamhouse with so much people training for 10-12? hours per day.
I can imagine it's very stressful and you barely have any privacy.
I wouldn't be able to do it too.

Sheth Fighting!

I hope you understand that alone you can only get to a certain level of skill and to get further you need to be a part of a practise house and train without any diversions.

Im pretty sure I wouldnt like that "team house" atmosphere either. Sounds like college but no booze or pizza.

GL sheth!

Of course its hard to stay with 10 guys in one room the whole day, it was hard for Flash, it was hard for Jaedong, it was hard for Nada, it was hard for Idra, It is hard for Huk and Jinro, but thats the price to pay if you want to be a champion. No love for the quitters.

If he can't handle Korea I wonder if he'll go to the team house in Malaysia like he said he was going to. Oh well sad news

Nice and genuine post from Sheth.

I don't blame him at all and being able to just say that he needs to be around family and friends kinda rings true what I've always thought about him from watching his stream. GL to you Sheth and I hope this doesn't hurt his standings with his team (feel like it will regardless but blah :/ ) and you are an excellent player and seem like a cool down to earth dude!

Actions like these usually lead to a player (Sheth) leaving the team and joining a team based in America who can send them to events or other types of things. I forsee sheth leaveing and joining a new team, I would look towards It's Gosu or EG to pick up Sheth. Even though EG has zerg's I would think Sheth would do great in a Team House with Idra and Machine, and I guess LzGamer but he has recently switched to zerg and I do not know if he is going to the Team house.

GL to Sheth and FXO for whatever happens.

Bullshit. I can 100% understand him, some people just need their privacy more than others.

:/ Really sad to hear this. It would be really rough to live with so little privacy and autonomy, but it's only for such a little while.
Also, wanting to see family is noble and all, but sometimes making sacrifices like that is the right thing to do. I feel like this is a big let down for more than a few people, not least the other FXO guys. FXO's chances for at least making a good showing in GSTL are significantly worse now.
