Team StarTale Kim “RainBOw” Sung Je is to leave for the army on the 26th June 2012 to fulfill his military service.
We hope to see the Korean Terran player make an impressive comeback to the Starcraft 2 pro-gaming scene on his return from service.

Together with his partner and fellow StarTale player Aphrodite RainBOw will be having a party before leaving for his military service.

The source of this information is through James Banks, owner of D-eSports and StarTale European manager
He got the information from Kevin Cho – Startale manager.

Where to find RainBOw:
- RainBOw’s TwitchTV stream
- Fanclub
- Liquipedia page for more info on him
- Facebook


RainBOw has a rich history in StarCraft eSports history, much beloved BW Protoss player returning to eSports to lead StarTale in Starcraft II as Team Captain. Whilst it will be sad to see him go we hope he returns refreshed and ready to compete once more!

Gaming is much more than just a hobby.

"When asked why he chose now to leave for the army, Rainbow responded 'Maybe 1 year from now, Zerg and Protoss won't be so imba. Right now, I'd rather peel potatoes than play TvP or TvZ.'"

Godspeed Rainbow. Hopefully he can come back and play well in a few years. Can he play during his military service?
Edit: By play, I mean ladder.

maybe he can play next proleague season for ACE
The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother

i always felt bad for the guy he was just a jobber for fruit dealer's cinderella story

and even tho he dominated in season 1 open he faded into obscurity afterward

but i always cheered him on, same with fruit dealer, hongun and inca and all the other season 1 guys

Will always remember him from SKT1. Too bad he couldn't get his break in SC2 after GSL season 1.
