Per this official tweet, Stats will begin his military service on the 18th of May. Statsboys and macro oriented Protoss players everywhere are heartbroken (including myself).

Goodbye Stats, you will be missed.

So KT will have a full military roster with Flash, TY, and Stats going to the military. It’s time to give hybrid pro league another try and bring back Airforce Ace.

At least he will have bested Serral before leaving.

Great player and great personality. I wish Stats all the best!
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.

So Zest and TY are still pending for their enlistment date? Kind of irritating not knowing when that is to make the proper arrangement for the tournament.

He's still getting enrolled with months of delay if we look at Classic's example, he had the opportunity of playing Katowice and Code S S1.

There's a 50 character limit for thread titles for non-staff, M was the 50th one.

Since some people may miss it in the first message, they are gathering message from fan to give to Stats when he leave, if anyone want to send a word.

Stats So sad to see him go. SC2 just won't be the same without him. It definitely never would have been the same without him.

After the death of KeSPa, Stats was the one who convinced many of the others to keep going. Otherwise TY and many others would have gone straight to BW. And since then, he always had a hand in the biggest and most important moments of Starcraft 2.

When TY won his first top championship (ok he won WESG too but that's just not the same), who was it there with him at IEM Katowice 2017? Stats, smiling, as his friend finally fulfilled his potential and got the monkey off his back.

When Serral, as the first non-Korean ever, did the impossible and won the World Championship, thereby surely extending the life of SC2 for a couple years do to the hype and increase in popularity it entailed, who was there on the stage with him, as always magnanimous in defeat? Stats, saving SC2 once again.

And when soO, the tormented and ridiculed Sisyphus of Starcraft, in the twilight of his career once again reached the biggest stage and then finally did it and took home the championship, thus showing everyone how the ending of Starcraft 2 was always supposed to look, and making no attempt to hide what it meant to him to do it -- who was there with him? Kim Dae Yeob, clearly happy for his friend.

Now people call Stats a Kong (ridiculous in itself because he is a two-time starleague champion, plus more) but what is obvious to everyone who cares to look is that Stats only ever lost a championship match (maybe even match in general?) because he loves Starcraft, he loves his friends, and he always wants to give the fans the best. He was too good for us tbh.

STATS GOAT!

No I am of course not saying he is a match fixer

Stats developed a lot as a player after joining KT. A lot of players has lifted Stats as a great friend. So, he's a great player and a great friend. His absence will be noticed.
