South Korea with Heung Min Son from Tottenham Hotspur is in Grandfinal (vs Japan) now. South Korea won 4 years ago and all players were exempted from Military. Son didn't attend (Leverkusen said no to him). This rule exists since WC 2002. | ||

Korea team career relied on winning the Asian Game gold medal for male soccer. https://www.theguardian.com/football/2018/aug/31/more-than-a-game-not-just-gold-on-line-for-son-heung-min-in-asian-games-final This is because there is a law for military exemption if athletes can win medals in a competition where all type of sports can compete in (so no World Cup or specific sport championship). I think it's written in the law/rule that it has to be bronze medal up for Olympic or gold medals for Asian Games. Since this Asian Games has Starcraft 2 as one of the sport competed, I was wondering whether Maru would be eligible to apply for exemption or not. But it's in the experimental sport category so it might not count. | ||

Kinda crappy that eSports not given same treatment as other sports though, makes no sense in esports. games are too short-lived, most games lives about 2-3 years, few games like sc2 live a little longer. football etc do exists for 100 years and are going to exist next 100 years. | ||

Yes, people who win Olympic medals are exempted from military service except some token basic training for a few weekends. This was expanded to those who win gold medals at the Asian Games. Maru doesn't get exemption because it was a demonstration sport, not a medal sport. Maru could lawyer up and press the issue, although the general principle is bringing pride to Korea or raising Korea's international profile, and maybe StarCraft 2 doesn't do it that much. The hard part is not pressing so hard that he looks like he's trying to dodge service but argue that he's legitimately better for Korea as a pro-gamer than a soldier (and this is more like convincing your mom, not a bunch of people on a forum dedicated to the game). | ||
