Korean government is still ruining kr starcraft2 scene. It`s not hard to exclude people who qualified to GSL before 2019 for example. Army would lose several men, and SC2 scene would be much healthier.

Why would they? It's not the army fault the scene is in this state, currently it's Blizzard's money and they did what they did in the past years.

Cya, ByuN! GL HF, mate.
I imagine France should be able to take this unless Lilbow is busy practicing for Starcraft III. | KadaverBB is my fairy ban mother.

This community just gets better and better. Tuck you (much better).


His comment was sour but not untrue. Recently ByuN hadn't had any results that would keep him from delaying military service. Rational decision.

So what? Do you have a permission to be a dick? Recently Byun... hadn't result... Show your respect to a man. What's your aim to be and stay in stacraft 2? Just fucking talks about who had recently any results and who is not? That's all? Congratulation.

I mean we learn about the decision to go into retirement to do his military service, how is it a dick move to say that he doesn't has a lot of result recently, and probably doesn't have a lot on incentive to stay? If he was earning hundreds of thousand right now he probably wouldn't go just yet.
And honestly how is "showing respect" a better contribution to the community?

With that said I'm still gonna make my mostly shitpost:

Good luck BuyN, hope you can come back to us one day!

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

I can't accept this news.


Polt should be back soon, Bomber back, and others.

Service is only 2 years, seems to go quick every time

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.


It's not like ByuN was having astonishing success recently; probably herO will follow, but the other ones you mention still have a shot to the top so it would be weird to see them essentially retire this year.

His unexpected reappearance in 2016 after years of absence, the GSL championship, and him winning the WCS Global Finals at BlizzCon was one of the most exciting storylines in all of StarCraft 2 for sure.

Good luck in the military, ByuN! Thank you for all the great games.
Stopped watching ESL content in 2022 when the company was acquired by Savvy Gaming Group. Also object to sponsorships by the U.S. Air Force. Thanks for the lively discussions about sportswashing. StarCraft II is not for me anymore.

I'll be honest, ByuN is not the first I think of, when talking about respecting your health, but good on him to be thinking about it. ByuN has shown he can make come backs, so I'm really not sad about this news, just get that military duty over with.
ByuN is a very inspiring player, I hope he keeps us updated.

thanks for one of the best sc2 stories ever and for your godlike micro!


It's a shame, but it's best to get it out of the way now. At the very least he made it out of Kespatraz and won GSL and Blizzcon. Wishing him the best!.

It's not a bad time to go. The service time requirement has been reduced from 2yrs to 1.5yrs. Imagine if you were a crazy (Bisu) fanboy for a player (Bisu) that went into the military (Bisu) just months before this change occurred and is stuck serving the full two years (Bisu). ;(

This is what it looks like, and it really hurts for every single fan (especially from 2 to 1.5). You watching and can't do anything with it.
