폭풍’ 홍진호(KTF)가 공군 e스포츠병 모집에 지원하기로 결정했다.
Tornado Yellow (KTF) decided to go to air force e-sports team.
공군은 병무청 홈페이지 공군병 모집 공지사항에 ‘2008년 7월중 공군병 모집계획 알림’을 통해 오는 7월 1일부터 15일까지 e스포츠병 모집을 시작한다고 밝힌 가운데, 홍진호는 지난 6월 30일 지원을 결정한 팀 동료 박정석(KTF)에 이어 최종적으로 지원을 결정한 것.
Air force management office homepage announced that they are recruiting from July 1 to July 15 for e-sports team. Last June 30, Reach decided to go, and Yellow followed today.
KTF 프런트 관계자는 “홍진호와 전화통화를 통해 공군 e스포츠병 모집 지원을 최종 결정했다”고 밝힌 뒤 “홍진호와 계약 기간이 남아있긴 하지만 프로게이머로서의 장래와 전기 마련을 위해서나 병역 문제 해결을 위해서도 공군 e스포츠병 입대가 최선의 방법이라고 생각하고 선수 본인의 의사를 존중해 지원을 결정했다”고 말했다.
KTF spokesperson: "We talked with Yellow on the phone and he decided to join the team even though there is time remaining on his progamer contract. He thought it was the best way to solve his military service problem and his future as a progamer.
또한, “홍진호가 군 복무를 마치고 제대할 경우에는 선수로서 다시 KTF에 복귀하거나 코칭스태프로 활동하길 원할 경우 최선을 다해 도울 예정”이라고 밝혔다.
Also, "After he finishes his service, if he wants to come back to KTF or work at coaching staff, we will assist him."
1982년생인 홍진호는 이번 공군 e스포츠병 모집을 놓고 심각하게 고민한 끝에 결심을 굳히지 못했지만 프로게이머로서 지속적인 활동과 본인의 장래를 위해 지원하기로 최종 결정했다.
He was born in 1982 so he was really worried about going into the air force e-sports but he finally decided to go for his progaming career.
이에 따라 현재 공군 e스포츠병 모집에 지원했거나, 지원을 결정한 선수들은 홍진호 외에 박정석, 차재욱(온게임넷), 오영종(르까프), 김성제(SK텔레콤), 박성준(은퇴) 등 6명으로 늘어났다.
Other progamers applying are (Reach, Anytime, Rainbow, zergman, cloud)

The only way they wouldn't make it is if ACE scraped the team completely, and really there's no solid reason to do that.

BoxeR/Yellow anyone?:D
Reach/BoxeR?
But Reach/Yellow still rocks.
|
What omg? Air Force is like pure old school players!! i love it

Pachi said to keep the Airforce thread on Anytime's announcement thread, so expect this to be closed.

Reach, Yellow, Anytime, Boxer. It appears I -may- have a new favorite team.

Yea, dude, I don't think they'd turn down Yellow/Reach, who immediately add like 20000 fans to their fanbase. Not to mention LR, who will have to root for Ace next year.

ACE is going to do so well next year. YellOw/BoxeR/Reach action!
+ Show Spoiler +I don't really consider Anytime old school. -_-

Its a good feeling to know that these older progamers who have paved the way for the newer generations in Starcraft will still have an opportunity to play and keep their skills from fading away into oblivion while in military service.
Everytime i think about these new additions to ACE, it just brings Garimto to mind, and what he might have become if he was still able to play Starcraft while serving in the army. Its comforting to know we can still see our heros play for ACE though.

Why does Reach have to go too?
