seems like they could have just...planned their wedding for a different weekend. I mean, sure, he can't miss his wedding, but I bet his wife wouldn't mind that 10k dollars in the family bank account either.

It's also possible that his deposits on certain things related to the marriage could amount to nearly the same amount of money... Imagine his deposits would be $5k non-refundable, then he cancels, wins $10k, then has to deposit/pay $5k again? Even if you lower the number, I'm not sure it's worth all the hassle to friends and family and yourself.

Although, from what I know, Korean weddings are not as lavish/long/expensive as western weddings tend to be, but I could be remembering incorrectly.

I think it's kinda silly of him to schedule his wedding in November anyway as he should know Blizzcon is always in that time frame. I guess unless he didn't think he would make it?

Oh well at least another zerg will replace him .
When I think of something else, something will go here

American weddings cost 20-30k on average these days. If hydra was anywhere close to this then its more costly to cancel the wedding. Plus anyone not understanding hydras choice clearly isnt married yet.

I'm married and I totally understand his choice, however both of these events should have been seen well in advance. Someone said Blizzard announced Blizzcon in April. That is 7 months. To me that seems like a lot of time to adjust the plans.

Thouhastmail said planning a wedding in Korea takes 6. I've had some miscommunication in both work and life that caused me to sacrifice one for the other, but it was never something this big.

Anyways, I'm sure Hydra had his reasons. It really sucks that he can't go.

I wonder who is replacing him. They better send Hydra and his fiance a damn good wedding gift!

yeah... SC2 must be paying really well for someone to give up 10k..

Does he still needs to go to military?

Here are my thoughts I don't know when he proposed or when the wedding date was set but he should have known now for months since winning DH Austin after his 3rd/4th finish in WCS Winter at the beginning of March that he would have a pretty damn good chance at qualifying for Blizzcon so why not plan accordingly? If the date was set beforehand that's fine but imo 6 months is enough time to move things around for a potential chance at $200k and $10k GUARANTEED!!!!! Very disappointing Congratulations Hydra on your upcoming nuptials but this really doesn't make sense given the circumstances.

not sure how things work in SK but isn't Hydra blind in 1 eye? I wonder if it would count as a disability to disqualify him from service? or maybe it's not a big deal

Only partially blind. Hydra can only seen outlines in his left eye, which *could* be enough to avoid military service perhaps, but considering the strictness of the Korean army I doubt it's that simple.

isn't he 25 years old? at 25, $10K USD ain't that much cash. add that with the wedding cost brought up earlier in the thread and its not that big a shock that his wedding trumps BlizzCon.

i dont see how they couldnt plan their wedding around another important event. i mean who realistically would turn down $10,000 that they rightfully earned?

i respect his decision but its quite odd..

btw, how are you, longshot?


If you have a wedding venue reserved, shits thousands of dollars and most don't let you cancel and get any refund.

I'm fine, TL didn't like me saying proleague is over and GSL is probably over so I spent a week in Kespa jail. I had Byun's cell, he left chips everywhere, Life is still crying about getting caught, I told him to cowboy the fuck up.
If all men were created equal there would be no reason to declare it.

Culturally speaking, what other traditions in a Korea wedding do most people not know about?

Oh wow, I'm going to take it from you since you just got married this year. I assumed they were still in the 6-10k range... aye aye aye
