Well that's good news in that there isn't a long wait! Sad that means we are going to lose some players though

They have to do their service at some point. So only a matter of time until we lose some draws for a year or two. We'll have to get behind some new players if BW/ASL is going to continue. I'll keep watching that's for sure.

There is an option to go for the alternative civil service in Korea (as well as in many other countries where the military service is obligatory). So you can still play in the evenings Pros need to consider this

Im happy with that hoping to be true, since this ASL is already full of upsets and we know who will be the champion, a new one will cheer all the fans for sure.

If I am not mistaken, Korean service must be started (completed?) by the age of 30. This week Bisu will turn 28; if we count by Korean age, I think that will make him 30 in January. I'm not sure if the "rule" above uses normal age or Korean age, but either way the clock is fast running out for Bisu who is a bit older than Jaedong and Flash.

It would be nice if I can get a bit more details on the above issues of started/completed and "normal" age/Korean age for the requirements.

You're not allowed to stream though while you're serving.

In most countries, where military service is obligatory, there is also an alternative for pacifists, religious people, or whoever doesn't want to serve due to whatever reason. Alternative service means that instead of wearing combat boots and shooting all day long, you do some usual full-time 9-17 job for the government, e.g. yardman, teacher, attendant, repair worker, carpenter, you name it.
You stay at home instead of living in a barraks (or, if you are sent to some other city, in a hostel, provided by the government).
You have a salary, you have free weekend, holidays, etc. etc., but it's also almost twice as long (1yr9m compared to just 1yr of military in my country).
That's, at least, how it works here, in Russia. I just know that there IS alternative civil service in South Korea, and IIRC one of our forum members is/has been serving alternatively.
And my alternative service begins Summer, 2018.

Yes, and even from there you aren't allowed to stream. Fantasy is in civil service, he might be playing but he is not allowed to stream. I guess it has to do with something in the military penal code due to security, etc.

If they're using both 'normal' age and Korean age in official matters, depending on circumstances, I'd find it super weird.

That's not what I meant, I know about BWAI.

Please don't intentionally spread misinformation.

1. the bot isn't consistently beating pro's.
2. it's 1v1 games which don't mean anything in a game like dota
3. the games had special rules/limitations such as no runes, no returning to fountain,...
4. the bot doesn't analyze pixels on the screen nor does it use a keyboard or anything as a form of input. This means it has a significant mechanical advantage.

If anyone is taking my vague comments on a game I don't even play on a forum that isn't even about that game as a credible source on the topic, that is not my problem. I'm just asking questions, and I actually find the topic interesting since BW is such a different game.

And most of my information comes from this, I don't care to be really accurate on this topic, though.



very awesome!

unfortunately the upcoming man vs ai fight is not against a trained neural network is it?

If they're using both 'normal' age and Korean age in official matters, depending on circumstances, I'd find it super weird.

I can completely see how cultural practices may be kept out of official matters; for example, practices such as drinking age and etc. seem like they would be very much affected by people being 2 years older than they are on paper. Bisu turned 2 years old in Korean age when he was 2 months old in biological age, for example. I imagine it would cause a lot of problems for other matters as well. Perhaps a native Korean can clarify here? It's something I've been curious about for a long time.
