Inven Global Image via T1 In the StarCraft 2 scene, the name Choi “Polt” Seong-hun is a standout one. Not only was he older than his fellow pro players, but he also divided his time during his career. Seoul University is ranked number one Korea, and to be able to graduate from such a university while winning six tournaments is not an easy feat. Polt is greedy for success.
After his mandatory military service in Korea, Polt returned to esports as the general manager for T1’s League of Legends team. This news created a lot of discussions within the broad LoL community. “How was Polt able to get such a position without experience and in T1, the most prestigious esports organization in Korea, at that?” The fact that his esports career was exclusively in StarCraft 2 added another layer of doubt to the voiced concerns.
