TY announced on his stream that he is set to begin his mandatory military service this year. While TY was unsure about the exact start date, he said it would be sometime in June or July. He stated it was likely that he'd be able to compete in GSL Code S Season 1 as well as IEM Katowice, though he was unsure about Code S Season 2.

TY will fulfill his military service as part of the auxiliary police force, an alternative to active military service.

Will be quite sad to see tournaments without TY. ): I guess it's also worth noting that herO/Gumiho are coming back around that time just so it doesn't seem all bad.

Will he be able to play at home (similar to what Byun did) if he serves in the auxiliary police force?

RIP. Very sad day. At least Gumiho and Hero are rumored to be coming back soon.

All his titles were already a big hit to the Korean casting, now this Sad to see him go, but there's nothign I can do about it
I imagine France should be able to take this unless Lilbow is busy practicing for Starcraft III. | KadaverBB is my fairy ban mother.

Sad, with the way he was playing I felt like he had a chance to make the G5L race competitive. Guess now it's up to Inno to make it tight.

Was bound to happen sooner or later. Here's to hoping he comes back to the scene once it's over...if it's still here. Form is temporary, class is forever.

There's really no right time for doing it... You either make the most of your early pro-gamer career but come out of the military in your 30s with no broader skillset, or you do it young and give up some of the only time to do what you want.

Oh well. I'll be committed to TY no matter what!

Will miss his play and commanding performances, but he will be back sooner than we know it.

Oof, this one hurts. He's definitely one of the most consequential people in the scene and arguably the best of the legendary Korean Terrans currently. Hard to spin this one in a positive light

It is a very sad day when the best Terran in the world at the moment announces military service.



Hopefully Maru recovers quickly from his injury. Don't think anyone will be able to contest Maru as the best Terran while TY is gone.

This is big, time really does fly. We're truly in an era where we're finally losing all the big names to the military, hoping meanwhile for the ones already in to return once they're finished.
Good luck TY, make use of the big brain of yours in the army as well

Shocking and very sad since he could probably have postponed it until 2022.

I can understand why he would jump at the chance to go to aux. police instead of the military before that option is removed, but as a progamer it makes little sense imo. When he's done it will be just in time to not qualify for Katowice 2023. That is also the time when Blizzard's contract with ESL expires. One has to be a pretty big optimist to imagine the EPT and GSL being played beyond that date in something resembling the current setup. I don't really know what it is TY expects to be able to return to.
