Hope he can play for ACE... they could really learn a lot from him and apart from this he also wouldn´t be the worst choice in terms of SC: BW... would really love to see him kicking someones ass with his impressive reaver/shuttle mico...

You can say a lot of things about him, but you can't fucking claim he didn't try. He had some good runsl Gl to Rainbow, may this be a swifty service.

Rainbow has his own flair and style for Terran, and I really respect that.

Come back soon.

would be cool to see him maybe be able to participate or partner up with team ACE while he is serving his service. Hopefully its one of those military services were he just works in an office!

I never really got why people hated his new username. I found Hopetorture insanely awesome.
With that said, I look forward to him owning up after his military stint. My favorite terran player.

WHAT i want to attend the party!


Also, hopefully with esports having advanced so much and stuff (and him already having a decent stream!) he will come back and still be interested in being a progamer! After all his girlfriend is a progamer now too.

I remember back then in his interviews, he said he was only good at SC2 (in GSL opens) because of his BW skill, and he had a job and really was playing more just for fun. From the interview it didn't seem he was quite happy (not too interested in progaming). He said he didn't practice much, and he still had to do military service, so he would just basically keep playing until the others' higher practice hours allow them to pass Rainbow and skill (basically if Rainbow can't stay in GSL anymore)

Reading that, I really hoped Rainbow wouldn't get knocked out, but I saw him get ripped apart by Leenock (the first time they faced off, rainbow ripped Leenock...) and was really sad. So now he's not been able to requalify for the GSL ever


Well now with change of things (he can make money by twitch and stuff, SC2 becoming bigger cus of BW switching over, and foreign teams having lots of money, he is engaged to a girl progamer), perhaps after his military service he will be refreshed and either find a new will to keep playing or what seems to be an old passion will be brought back to life ^^

Unfortunately he can't. He said he won't be able to play SC2/games with the position he has in the army. Though I hope maybe even occasionally he can play... even if it's like once every few months. So I'm guessing he's not in the airforce ;(

How long is the military service? When could we expect him back if he did want to play SC again?

He should switch his name back to HopeTorture when he comes back, it's like 1000x more awesome than 'rainbow'.
