Having previously announced his intention to return to StarCraft 2 progaming after the end of his military service on the 1st of August, legendary Protoss player (Wiki)Classic has been signed by (Wiki)Alpha X.

He has also announced a comeback stream on the 4th August at 18:00 KST (11:00 CEST) to celebrate the occasion.

Hope he can fulfill all toss fans out there winning the Code S title for them. If Classic win the title, it will be longest span in history of GSL Code S (isn't it?) since he won in 2014.

Neat clip! Stats was on Splyce so this is not at all the first time Classic was called Protoss itself, but this is probably the best time. Stats is such a laughing and joking person

I think given his talent/experience, he will be in code S in no time.

I just wanna know if he's already been practicing and has a chance in the GSL qualifier TOMORROW, or if he's just starting to play again and hasn't gotten back into the swing of things yet

He's been playing for a few weeks to my knowledge, so he won't go into the qualifiers totally out of shape.

I think August 1st was the earliest he was allowed to be signed? mandatory military service in korea means they aren't allowed to have other sources of income, so they aren't allowed to be on a team or stream

That makes sense. I thought he got out the same time as hero, who was signed way earlier.

For a few months I have not watched SC2 at all. It never happened since GSL exists. May be Classic is a hope to make this game exciting again.

I really loved Classic's play. I was rooting for him in his last finals. Hope he is able to get back in shape and show some good games
