Fuck yeah ByuN finally back!!
The 2nd god of Terran stronger as ever with an epic comeback.
Hopefully he saves Terran while Maru heals (if that’s even possible) his injury...

ByuN basically hit the jackpot in terms of career planning. Went to military a few years before he absolutely needed to instead of trying to stall things out until the last possible moment. Now he's coming back and can focus 100% on the game without having to worry about military. He can go to any event outside of Korea without issue as well once those are finally possible again.

And all the while he always intended to come back to the game, so when he had time to play he did. Meaning his level didn't take a hard drop like for other military returnees.

Yeah, Dream for example got to the millitary early as well, but he didn t practise while serving. I took him like a year to come back into Ro8 contender form

And his wrists are probably in a better shape right now, plus he will have to face players with less qualities than the ones actually playing due to this military thing.

ByuN was in the 7k MMR range basically during his entire military service. And with the qualifiers played online because of Covid he's probably feeling comfortable as well. I think overall not too surprising especially since I don't think those 3 are the best vT players.

I'd still consider 2-0'ing Cure a huge upset for a guy who hasn't played a professional match in almost 2 years. And Byun had fallen off quite a bit when he quit; relatively I'd say he was at the same level as Cure is now, maybe even lower

Would be a different thing if they weren't playing from home I think. With this it's probably more comfortable for ByuN to play to his ladder level. I wouldn't necessarily expect him to immediately go deep in GSL though.

Yeah even I thought he could upset Dream but no way get past Cure... he was not in superb shape before leaving and ladder ain’t the same as playing professional matches as said before.

Very impressive return.
Playing from home definitely helps though indeed. But that’s supposed to help Cure as well...

If ByuN has to retire again now he’ll have a 100% match win rate in competitive games after returning from the army right?
