Normally sOs is the wild card of any tournament or group he's in, but I feel like ByuL is the real unknown variable in this group. He was very good to start the 2017 season (3 top 4 finishes) but was pretty bad at the end. (failed to qualify for GSL season 3) What's his current form? How much has he been practicing? The Koreans probably have a good sense of what his game is like these days, but I have no clue.

Byul was a monster in 2015, he did pretty good in the first half of 2017, I hope he's on his way up in form but I fear he will be "protossed".

I'm happy for Sortof that he qualified, it'd be a HUGE upset if he gets through this group, best of luck.

That's a bold prediction!

Quite curious to see what form ByuL is in these days. I can't remember the last time I saw him play.

sOs seems so much better than everybody else in this group

although it's hard to say how good someone like ByuL is right now
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

Zergs are doing great in ZvP in EU so he should be fine, altho I feel like SortOf can qualify!

A GSL day without terran is a sad day, let's hope it's the only one.

So it could be the last televised matches of Byul ?

Didn't he announce his retirement last year? Maybe he changed his mind.

If he still plays in his spare time, going to the qualifiers for fun and the chance of an easy payday is not a bad decision. That's basically what MyuNgSiK did in season 1 last year.

Didn't someone say ByuL found his passion again and wants to commit full time?
Zest, sOs, PartinG, Dark, and Maru are the real champs. ROOT_herO is overrated. Snute, Serral, and Scarlett are the foreigner GOATs

I don't know. I'm just saying that him qualifying doesn't necessarily mean he isn't retired.

Surprisingly, this isn't SortOf's first time playing a televised match in Korea: he played one game in GSTL back in 2013. He was the first victim in a Ganzi all-kill, but still.

Ah yes, you're right :

I think I gave you wrong information.
According to sc2unmasked, ByuL plays SC2 hard recently and participates WESG qualifier.
I must have mistaken Patience's name for ByuL's name.

https://www.twitch.tv/videos/203847701?t=02h15m04s

RagnaroK said "Ji-Hyun" (Patience's name) and I heard it "Ji-Won" (ByuL's name)
Patience has played PUBG a lot recently.
I'm sorry for misinformation.
The guy who plans to switch to PUBG seems to be Patience, not ByuL.
(It's not clear whether Patience really switches to PUBG or not.)
so we can see ByuL playing SC2 next year
