SK Telecom coaches, iloveoov and Dr. K will be joining the military after the Shanghai finals. iloveoov, who is married and has a kid will be joining the military as a full time reserve force, and Dr. K will be joining as an public official. This gives SK Telecom more reason to win, and due to this, the coaches have been trying extra hard to rally the players Source: http://esports.dailygame.co.kr/news/read.php?id=48216 | ||

Oov's position was mainly that of a mentor/supervisor, as it has been for years. I do expect this to have a significant impact on SKT, though. | ||

SKT is gonna pwn the shit in the finals for those two!!! ^^ However, I am expecting that with two big figures leaving, the mood might be down and SKT is gonna suck next season. I think this happened when Boxer went to ACE? (correct me if I'm wrong) | ||

(fucked his shoulder really badly) Nah, maybe I misunderstood the severity of the injury but iloveoov slipped in the shower and hurt his wrist iirc and retired for the most part shortly after. Always assumed that was an issue if he was delaying it this long, especially if he was delaying it until after he got married. I guess it may explain why he is "full-time reserve" and not an active serviceman (this is if I'm understanding the term correctly). | ||

Fantasy beating Flash in Ace match of PL Finals would be a repeat of the 08-09 Finals v Jaedong where Fantasy was clutch in PL and then stumbled at the finals of the OSL. | ||

Because of his conditions, his military service probably isn't as harsh and he can still stay at home, so it's possible he can still make builds and coach a bit if he wants to, although it'd be hard. | ||
