His wife would probably kill him

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?

I'm willing to bet that the wedding was scheduled, booked, etc. well in advance of WCS Finals dates being publicized.


Blizzcon dates were announced in April though. Maybe Hydra forgot that the Ro16 was played the week before.


usually weddings are planned over a year before
I watch more starcraft than i play it

Yes they are and they are also planned when it's most suitable for all invites of both parties. It's really hard to find a date where most family members and friends are available trust me. We had 100 invite at our wedding (which is about average in my country) and there was litterally 1 weekend where it fit for most people and location. Priorities mate.

Hydra's response does clear things up. Normally weddings take 6 months to a year to plan. If they did start a year, that explains much.

Regardless, it sucks he is retiring. I enjoyed watching his matches at DH. And I admire him, Polt, violet and now True for taking the leap across the great pond to play in foreign WCS.

Anyways, violet and elazer better send Hydra a wedding gift!

Good luck in the future Hydra! Enjoy your wedding day!

With full respect to Hydra's decision, i'm still a bit confused to why he would plan his wedding that close to blizzcon dates?
Like this phrase does not make much sense:
"Last year and two year ago, BlizzCon started on the Nov 1st, so I thought it would be fine to book my wedding on the 29th(+time difference between kr and usa so would arrive on the 29th.)"
Would anyone here plan to have a wedding and FLY THE FUCK OUT the same day? Or maybe he planned to combine honeymoon with Blizzcon and chill in California with his wife? If this is the case, he has only himself to blame for a mix-up

Maybe Korean army allows conjugal visits/leave to see their significant others. I'm sure he will see his wife more often than an inmate gets to see theirs.

But that does suck.

Seriously. You guys are such nerds to not know that weddings are planned more than a year in advance. I'm already facepalming so much just reading the first page.

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.


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


When did you get married? I know a bunch of relatives, friends, coworkers' kids, etc. who got married in the past 5 years or so. The weddings happened roughly 18 months after the engagement. The weddings cost around $30-40k. The venues need to be booked over a year in advance, with maybe a $10k deposit paid. They had roughly 150-200 guests. That's in the US.

Those weddings are considered small in Asia. I've heard from people in the Philippines that 500+ guests are normal...

I think that differs a lot depending on in which part of the world you live and how big the wedding is. Mine, for example, we planned for about 5 months. It was a smaller wedding, about 90 guests.

Best of luck to Hydra!
