Daily Esports recently interviewed soO about his upcoming military service and long StarCraft II career. The most interesting bit of news was that soO made it clear that he has plans to return to StarCraft II after finishing his military service.

DES:Do you plan to keep progaming after you're discharged?

soO: Yes. I'm not thinking about retiring yet. I definitely think I can keep playing after finishing my military service. There are actually some StarCraft II players who keep playing in tournaments after finishing their service. I was inspired by watching DongRaeGu reach the semifinals of GSL Season 2 in 2020, thinking "I could do that too," and I want to place him as my role model.


soO is set to begin basic training on October 22nd.

Artosis said that his MMR in BW ladder is high so he might return to BW instead.
Don't practice until you can get it right, practice until you can't get it wrong.

Might explain his poor performance in SC2 recently, might have been playing a lot of BW

Well, he may return to the BW scene.
I imagine France should be able to take this unless Lilbow is busy practicing for Starcraft III. | KadaverBB is my fairy ban mother.

TIming wise he should be able to return halfway through the 2022-23 season, which is the last season Blizzard has guaranteed funding for. After that, who knows?

Technically speaking being funded and being alive isn't exactly connected.
