Korean Terran (Wiki)KeeN has announced his return to (Wiki)Afreeca Freecs after recently returning from his military service. He was previously part of the team until September 2019. Since the Freecs are about to lose both (Wiki)Stats and (Wiki)TY to mandatory military service, KeeN will be a necessary supplement to their line-up in the World Team League.

Looking forward to seeing him in World Team League.
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.

Going by his match results since his return, it seems like he's still a few months (or more) off of being a GSL-caliber player, but I'm excited to see him recover his form

I still hink we lost a great showmatch opportunity when both cj and liquid had a protoss hero and a terran bunny. I wanted that TvT and PvP of liquid vs cj with players bunny and hero.
I would also have wanted to see a show match TvT of Reality, Dream and Fantasy. These name based show matches are just a wish.

Forme Liquid Hero was done. He used to stream a lot before but he stopped. As per CJ herO, he is finishing soon but rumors that he is not interested to play sc2 anymore.

Sounds plausible. herO definitely didn't look to have much passion for the game in the last year or so of his career.

Don't his parents operate a restaurant or something where he's been helping out before he went to the army? I vaguely remember RagnaroK having filmed a video for his YouTube there. Anyways, he might just look forward to managing that place one day instead of coming to progaming.

No shot PartinG joins because he wouldn't be allowed to stream on Twitch to my understanding.

yeah, and Parting has a huge following in Twitch with an average of 1.2k subs so going to Afreeca is a big no for him.
