His best performance was advancing to the Round of 4 in the 2nd Korean Air OSL. After returning from the military, he joined Jin Air Green Wings and was seen participating at their team workshops. Head coach Han Sang-yong said of Pure; "While he current lacks skill, he has commitment in improving and is quickly catching up to the rest of the team".

Not to mention the Which is the one with HwaSin, SAviOr, Stork, NaDa and others photoshopped onto girls' bodies? Some of those make a good case fro suggesting there are multiple "pretty boys" in Starcraft. I'll edit in the right name thread if I see someone list it but for now the name evades my capture. + Cool! I went for WeMade FOX in the early days of my SC fandom when NalrA and NaDa were my favourites and, due to NaDa, my taste for green and foxes being my favourite animal, I chose to support WeMade FOX. I remember Pure. I think he put on a few really good games here and there and disappointed for the most part (even got utterly mauled in numerous games) but it's good to see him come back. Hopefully he will do a good job and it is nice that he's joining Jin Air as we'd like to see more good players support that team, especially with Jaehoon retiting. o_O + Show Spoiler + Whether he is one of such "good players" is questionable and we'll just have to see! ;P | ||

KT, SKT seem to be secured...no suprise at all CJ: rumors about cancellation of the team - future unknown Samsung: All players participated in old Khan uniforms @ the wcs prelims but the team isn't even called like that anymore. I see khan's/Galaxy's highly questionable, also because of potential ace players besides maybe roro SOUL: GSTL & Proleague participation - impossible, kespa won't be much of a help anymore as i heard. Jinair: the help might have been too late for team8 + the departure of pure is a strong sign torwards clearance of the squad. Woongjin: no real squad at all to participate in team leagues, still with + 3 b teamers still playing there EGTL: no more team house - what else should be said? ----- it should be clear that this can only mean the cancellation of proleague | ||

Haha so good. Sc2 has no future, starts streaming BW. Makes sense though, must get some donation just like Bisu, so for him that is probably true. And making money as a pro in Korea only is pretty hard, especially on Kespa teams. Wouldn't mind a small comeback of BW content from Korea. | ||
