In two weeks, we will see video of a probe crossing the border...two weeks after that, swarms of corsairs will be seen...no one will see the DTs, and in 2 years time, the war will be over.

I'm really going to miss Bisu. Following him as a huge fan for over 10 years has had its ups and many downs, but I've always been dedicated. Going to be really hard to not see his stream for almost two years. Hopefully he returns to an even more revitalized Brood War.

His probe could only dodge so many years before law-abiding zerglings finally caught it.

I guess it's all up to... Rain?

The dark age of PvZ is upon us BTW. Rain has demonstrated that he has little to no clue about the match-up. JangBi is out of form, largely absent, and was never that great at it IMO. Best's variety of PvZ is pretty good, but not even close to the turn-around he made in the MU towards the end of KeSPA era. Who else is there, really? Stork's PvZ has been underrated for years but it is also completely different from Bisu's and not nearly as dominant or remarkable; I find that the modern map pool doesn't suit Stork's playstyle as much as some of the maps that were around when he was first making a name for himself. The dark age is upon us.

Best of luck Bisu! Been great following your run in the scene once you came back. The skill level rose and gate FE became more popular as well, good stuff overall. Wonder who'll carry the torch for Protoss now, Rain? BeSt? Shuttle?

Shuttle won the first ASL and beat Last 3-0 convincingly who in turn beat Flash 3-0 lol. Having said that, his recent form leaves a lot to be desired. I think we'll see protoss in the semifinals but highly depends on how the brackets work out and such.

Corsair DT incoming. Kim Jong-un is gonna rage at all those Probes in December. I hope Bisu remembers to make High Templars as well.

- I think Shuttle is still a pretty scary Protoss. His from in all those KCM matches was insane. He was owning Terrans and Zergs left and right. I still think he can be a Protoss player to make an ASL final 8.

I hope there is another ASL by the way, haven't heard anything yet.

Hope he can be allowed to stream in his free time. IIRC during the post-Airforce Ace days there was someone who would stream from time to time... can't remember who it was, maybe Ruby? Or maybe I'm just hoping against hope.

This is for the best, we have at least somewhat of a scene with Afreeca involved!

Not really no.
Would have to prove that he is unfit to serve. Or he has to find a way to get another nationality and drop his Korean citizenship (i guess many guys would be ok marrying him here on TL)

No. Unless you accomplish something like getting a gold medal at the olympics or reaching the semi finals of the Fifa world cup like in 2002.
Or you live as a korean outside of Korea for a long time and try to change your nationality

No chance that you don't go to the military. If you don't go without a real reason you are a person non grata in Korea.

More than 10 years ago there was an American-Korean Popstar who was very successful and lived there for years during his career. Then he had to go to the military and therefore went back to the States. I think he is not longer allowed to go to Korea anymore

Not to be too off-topic, but do we even know what type of service a lot of pro-gamers get, given what we can assume about their medical history from gaming? I know that iloveoov was given more of a desk job given his arm, anyone know what'll happen to guys like Bisu/Flash/JD/etc?

This is for the best, we have at least somewhat of a scene with Afreeca involved!

Flash won't go for a while I don't think.


They could have gone 2012-2014 and still made it back in time for the first ASL


Would there have been an ASL without them though?


Yes. There were decently sized leagues before their return and when they returned (Bisu first, later Flash) they didn't even do well in their first league, respectively.

Not to be too off-topic, but do we even know what type of service a lot of pro-gamers get, given what we can assume about their medical history from gaming? I know that iloveoov was given more of a desk job given his arm, anyone know what'll happen to guys like Bisu/Flash/JD/etc?


when you begin your military service you get graded on a scale of 1 to 7 depending on how physically and mentally fit you are.

grade 1-3 do the proper military service.
4 do civil services
5 only do civil services during war (so basically the same as 4 as technically the war is still ongoing with north korea, i hope a korean can correct me on this)
6-7 are declared unfit for service and depending on their status, may have to go back for another check-up in two years time.

people like bisu/flash seem fit enough that they would graded 1-3. i don't know about jaedong considering his complaints of reoccuring wrist/eye pain.

Ah okay, so the surgery FlaSh has had (and I believe Bisu as well?) won't affect what they'll do, interesting interesting.

I believe iloveoov was given a 4, then? Or at least that's what it sounded like from his twitter Q&A.

Yeah Best had a pretty good timing with his military service.

Hope Fantasy will be back soon! The terrorist was/is my favorite Terran. I hope he still have his SC1 skills like back in the day when he was th no. 1 Terran (at the end of the OSLs).

It's just bonkers how a war that ended/stopped before the parents of our younger members were even born still influences starcraft/2 and korea as a whole (and, I guess, laos the world). Good gods.

Good luck, Bisu.

The war never officially ended did it? That's why there's a DMZ

They had an official ceasefire agreement in 1953. I suppose you could call it cold-war-esque?

The Korean War never officially ended, plus North Korean's aggressiveness and increasing military investment are not going to ease South Korea's mind.

JD is younger than Bisu by a year, he still has time unless he was called up already and is delaying.

of course hes been called up already
bisu and jd are already like ~7 years late compared to when a typical korean male would go. if jd wanted to go now with bisu he could easily go.

ok thank you man. AfreecaTV’s really taken care of Bisu before his military service hehe

I hope JD was there at the farewell party, or even more JD has a sendoff party like that, with more players attending

There is a reason why all Korean males dread their mandatory military service. Bisu won't be allowed out at all for over a month. Over the course of his two year service, Bisu will be allowed out for about a month or so. Otherwise it's full on, including the weekends.

Yeah most of it is full on, I do have a friend who's mandatory service looks more like a normal 9-5 job though.

it depends on your medical grade. if one have injuries/disabilities then you get a "lighter" vocation where its more of a 9-5 job. then you can be like (P)Mini in the past where you have ample time to join tourney qualifiers to dick around then give up your spot then go back to military
