I wonder if he found a new team or if he will be teamless for now.
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

Wouldn't be surprised if he stayed teamless for a little while.

Really didn't expect that. I know 2017 was slightly disappointing for him but I doubt Expert would drop him over that. Maybe he found a new team

No idea, I guess a statement from Expert should be released soon?

I'm really curious.

Even with his 'slightly disappointing' year, he's still probably the number 1 fan favorite Korean, that kind of exposure is great to have as a team. I'm led to believe he was the one that initiated this.

How far from the army is he ?
SC2 is the best game to watch and was the best to play before I grew old and slow...

Not even so far off, I think. Innovation simply doesn't need a team to back him up, he gets his consistent share of prize money out of the Korean tournament scene and some other online events, so he doesn't even need to travel and all that sweet $$$ goes right and 100% into his pocket.

I guess Byun just felt he doesn't need a team environment anymore and can do pretty much the same

Maybe he wants to get out of his comfort zone and earn his salary online as in 2016.

Not the first time he's done that. He's cleared out his twitter at least once before

Perhaps Byun will vanish again and then 2020 he'll come back and win everything again
Furthermore, I consider that some kind of Code A must be reestablished.

But Innovation is on Ballistix, unless that changed since Blizzcon?
