The table below shows the physical exam's possible grades and their outcomes, according to the Military Service Act.[9] Men must enlist by the time they turn 28.[10] Conscription in South Korea has existed since 1957 and requires male citizens between the ages of 18 and 35 to perform compulsory military service. I guess it's possible to delay until 35, but other than that he is 28 years old in Korean age already. | ||

But KeeN, aLive and DRG didn't exactly have many big runs so it'd have flown under the radar a bit they were sponsored by Afreeca all year long. The fact that they decided to pick up 3 more players (and really good ones at that) after KeeN's retirement is a good sign (though I suspect aLive is probably going to retire soon too). | ||

if Afreeca means to revive their Freecs team and not just act as personal sponsors with "S2" brand like with Keen and aLive then it's double the good news | ||

https://gall.dcinside.com/mgallery/board/view/?id=sc2&no=528686 DRG says they're now called Afreeca Freecs, 'just like the LoL team' funnily enough, he said it with the AFS2 tag still attached to his name ^^ | ||

But seriously, overall these have been pretty good pickups I feel. soO gets to play for a korean team, Juan gets picked back up, and it looks like most everyone's ready to go for 2020. | ||
