Translation from verecunda:
+ Show Spoiler +
Hello, everyone! I entered the Recruit Training Center at the 6th Infantry Division on Nov 21, and have finished my training as of Dec 28. My conscription was very abrupt, and I'm sorry that I couldn't inform you sooner. Currently I have entered the 3rd Transport Training Group to begin two weeks of further training as army driver, and will receive my final posting after my training is complete.

I would like to express my sincerest gratitude to everyone who has cheered for me over the years. The support and love from fans mean a lot to us professional players. Please continue supporting the remaining SC2 players in 2017 as well!

I'll keep you updated on my status. Thank you.

Polt, Taeja, Bomber, and even T.O.P in BIGBANG all going to military next year. Guess it's good time to play other games for now and come back even stronger in 2018/2019.

At least Taeja and MMA (even MC) retired with a well deserved one last performance... Not so much for players like Polt, Bomber, Hydra... they just went into oblivion. I guess not many players could get a retirement ceremony like Flash.

Bomber was easily one of my favourite Korean pros. Even if it was already public that he was retiring, the final blow here still stings. Hope he can do well in his future!

I will miss Bomber. One of my favorite terran players over the years. Now I have a case of serious nostalgia for startale and gstl.

Can we start a collection of the greatest bomber games? Obviously gonna start with Startale.Bomber vs IMmvp in the Code A finals of the LG Cinema 3D GSL in may 2011.

So thankful that this guy honored SC2 with his presence. For me he was kind of the only SC2 player who was able to match the aura of Boxer. Playing anachronistic, walking his own way, being able to perform for such a long time, giving all that experience to younger generations of players, being somewhat worldly wise - he really stood out.

Do we have a thread that lists when players will finish their military service? That might be interesting.
Furthermore, I consider that some kind of Code A must be reestablished.

Honestly the accuracy of the google translate translation is amazing.

Korean is one of the languages they've rolled out their new machine learning devised translation for so I guess that's why.

Yeah GOM uploaded the VODs to Youtube. It's a pain to find the right ones because they are all titled "- Starcraft 2".

@ Elentos, thank you so much!

I really didn't remember how close the games actually were. Bomber played from behind both of them and still managed to win. 2014 was an amazing year.
