Glad to see that he's back though.
He's just (or is about to?) finished his military service.
Haha, awesome. I wasn't following the pro scene before TheSTC left for the military. Was he considered one of the top Korean players back then? Did he also come from BW? Thanks in advance <3

He's finished it and is back in the oGs house. He was assigned a desk job while in the military which allowed him to take part in some online and Korean competitions (notably the FXO Invitationals and the Gainward tournament) where he showed that even with limited practice, he still can hold his own against the top tier players.
He was largely expected to make it back into Code A in July, and almost made it, but unfortunately lost the final Code A qualifying match.
However, I'm looking forward to him making an appearance during the GSTL and owning it up DRG style.
Can't believe I missed TheStC. FXO has some of the most underrated tournaments ever. This is incredibly stacked without a lot of high name-recognition players.
