Short Summary:

SK Telecom coaches, iloveoov and Dr. K will be joining the military after the Shanghai finals. iloveoov, who is married and has a kid will be joining the military as a full time reserve force, and Dr. K will be joining as an public official.

This gives SK Telecom more reason to win, and due to this, the coaches have been trying extra hard to rally the players

The next year will be the TRUE test of Fantasy, I want him to prove himself to be much more then Oov's puppet so that he can finally shake off all the haters.

Weird, for some reason I thought he (oov) had already done his service.

Well it has to happen sometime in Korea, best of luck to them!

What does being a full-time reserve force member of the army entail? He'll go through training and then not have to do much after that?

Actually I had thought he was ineligible after going so long and not going into the military (also considering his injury).

Wonder how largely this will affect SKT1... but actually it's just about time that they're going to do it. Cant postpone it forever

uhhh shit SKT's coaching staff has been a huge factor of their success.. I fear the worst for SKT next year ;l

Wonder who they'll get to replace them.. maybe they'll ask Kingdom to return to his post as SKT Protoss coach lol..

Any idea if they'll come back after they're done with their service?

Things are looking grim for SKT1 after the PL finals D:, oov being gone will surely hurt the players morale a bit. Hopefully this will motivate them to destroy in Shanghai though

my thought exactly! SKT1 was built by boxeR and iloveoov.... 2 gone, skt1 will have a hard time. Pretty sure the fantasy > stork final was mainly credited to iloveoov metagame @_@
