As per his Twitter. (Wiki)ByuN is of course most well known for his GSL championship against sOs in 2016, and his BlizzCon championship against Dark that same year.

He'll probably try if there's still a pro scene. Wouldn't hope for anything though.
Zest, sOs, PartinG, Dark, and Maru are the real champs. ROOT_herO is overrated. Snute, Serral, and Scarlett are the foreigner GOATs

Well, Fuck. Scene is getting empty. Forte, Byun, Ryung, herO (soon).

I can't accept this news.

ByuN fighting! I will never forget 2016. He was the last KeSPA-era GSL champion.

Not much to consider for a mid-tier korean in the current system.

User was warned for this post

Based on the timing, right after WCS Winter 2019 was announced, as well as the delay in GSL, it seems like there could be some pessimism in Korea about GSL being scaled back as well.

That's what I thought. He streamed like two days ago. Everything was fine. Right? And now, boom. Right before Xmas.

Should feel proud of serving his country. Well done Byun. Better than playing video games all day long.

Wow, didn't see this one coming. I know he is no longer in his top form but he is still a fan-favorite player. I guess he is 25 so he wants to get it over with. I expect herO, Zest, soO and sOs will follow soon. Hopefully they will stick around for 2019 before heading to military service.

Best of luck to ByuN.
