The finals were amazing, ForGG is looking really strong.

Haha seriously, champagne always turns out to be the greatest enemy :D
Most points: - He was already happy and thought he'll beat Life again. - Life always opening lings and not adapting to Mech is what won him the game in the upper bracket final. - Banshee/Hellbat is a viable strat, but you need to mix enough Vikings and even then it doesn't always work. - Mech/Bio mix (like Fantasy popularized once in Proleague I believe?) isn't working anymore since Zergs adapted to it. - Terran not too strong against Zerg, but strong against Protoss. - Innovation best Terran against Zerg, but he got no clue who is the best against Protoss. - If he couldn't play in WCS EU he would have stayed in France regardless to play other European tournaments. He thinks it's fair that he's allowed to play but other Koreans who joined WCS EU way late can't. - He thinks Terran Mech vs. Protoss will once again be a disappointment in LotV, mostly because Immortals (even if their hardened shields are changed slightly) are still there. Although he does say he hasn't invested much time in seeing what changes LotV brings. - He thinks that SC2 isn't doing well in Korea, but he doesn't really know since he's not playing there anymore. - Players like HuK, Naniwa and IdrA were good for the scene, but he personally doesn't want to trashtalk. He intends to entertain with entertaining Starcraft gamplay and thinks that his strategies are seen from no other top players. - He agrees that mechanics are not so important in SC2 and that that's likely the reason why SC2 is not popular in Korea.

what exactly makes you think that ?
Well there aren't many other reasons for him to go back to Korea all of a sudden after spending more than 2 years in Europe.
for me it sounds like hes just missing korea kinda.. why would he hide such an important fact if hes leaving europe for military service ? and is he gonna stay on millenium ?

Goodbye ForGG. I will never forget your Game 3 vs. LIfe at Dreamhack Winter. You have been a great SC2 pro, and I enjoyed your distinctive TvT style and ability to connect with fans. Good luck man.
