Afreeca freecs could be a good team for him I reckon. Considering they lost both Leenock and perhaps Life as well.

Well he has to play in Korea if he wants to keep playing, so he might aswell get himself a job on a Proleague team, no?

I feel like it is the time to also underline the great support of Roccat in those 2 year they always flew him everywhere even when he was not doing as well. After Huyn got scam he realy needed a good team and he seem to have found it!

It would not make a lot of sense to keep him now since he cannot go outside of Korea.

Good luck for 2016 Huyn!

Considering he can only play in Korea because of his age I'm not sure either of those would want him.

Might be him slowly transitioning into retirement, or maybe he's looking for a KeSPA or another foreign team. The Goberman's still got fight in him even though he's old and probably considering military service very soon.

JD's game been off for a long time. Maybe lack of practice who knows. If I were him I'd hit that foreigner circuit. Not sure he'll survive in Korea.

Also, he plays some Heroes of the Storm if I recall it correctly. That doesn't help him either, I think...

Out of curiosity, how many years those koreans have to chose when they`ll do the military?

Seems pretty easy, to an extent, to postpone it until you fell like you should.

Somewhere I heard that the limit is 27 years. After that you must do it.

If he's going to KeSPA, I think he'd fit really well in Samsung. (Plus I think he could grab me some FPL points since I picked Samsung.)

hmmm, the other day Creator thanked JD for practicing with him, so maybe JD might actually come back to JinAir?
anyway, I think Hyun to Afreeca is very reasonable

Guess by end of the year, other than hydra, there won'the be any korean players who play for a western team, considering polt also is almost too old to delay his duty any more? There are teams like DP or MY I but I don't see any reason they will keep Korean players on their list as therected are few westerb tournaments they can participate.

Best of luck to Hyun where decides to go. Maybe he'll go to CJ since he was practicing with them last year? But Afreeca could use him.

Guess this was kinda expected to happen as he already announced after HSC that he'd play in Korea from now on. Hope he finds a good team and kicks some ass before he'll have to join the military eventually. l'll miss meeting him on foreign events, he's always such a nice and fun guy to talk to. <3

If you are at certain age and have not done a military service yet, you are not allowed to travel outside of the country. This is because South Korea is still at war with North Korea (literally since only cease fire agreement was made at the end of the Korean War) so men have to undergo a conscription before they are too old to serve as soldiers. Some people tried to escape the conscription process by travelling to other countries when they are near the age limit so the government put an age limit on that.

Most likely retire and stream BW. Same goes for Hyun I guess.

Given the trackrecord of previous people who retired and were successful in BW, this is the most likely situation. Those who weren't succesful will just stream SC2 on twitch I guess

I like HyuN. Hope he finds a good team.
Stopped watching ESL content in 2022 when the company was acquired by Savvy Gaming Group. Also object to sponsorships by the U.S. Air Force. Thanks for the lively discussions about sportswashing. StarCraft II is not for me anymore.
