Normally sOs is the wild card of any tournament or group he's in, but I feel like ByuL is the real unknown variable in this group. He was very good to start the 2017 season (3 top 4 finishes) but was pretty bad at the end. (failed to qualify for GSL season 3) What's his current form? How much has he been practicing? The Koreans probably have a good sense of what his game is like these days, but I have no clue.

I'm happy for Sortof that he qualified, it'd be a HUGE upset if he gets through this group, best of luck.
Zergs are doing great in ZvP in EU so he should be fine, altho I feel like SortOf can qualify!

So it could be the last televised matches of Byul ?
Didn't he announce his retirement last year? Maybe he changed his mind.
If he still plays in his spare time, going to the qualifiers for fun and the chance of an easy payday is not a bad decision. That's basically what MyuNgSiK did in season 1 last year.

Didn't someone say ByuL found his passion again and wants to commit full time?

I don't know. I'm just saying that him qualifying doesn't necessarily mean he isn't retired.
Surprisingly, this isn't SortOf's first time playing a televised match in Korea: he played one game in GSTL back in 2013. He was the first victim in a Ganzi all-kill, but still.

Ah yes, you're right :

RagnaroK said "Ji-Hyun" (Patience's name) and I heard it "Ji-Won" (ByuL's name) Patience has played PUBG a lot recently. I'm sorry for misinformation. The guy who plans to switch to PUBG seems to be Patience, not ByuL. (It's not clear whether Patience really switches to PUBG or not.) so we can see ByuL playing SC2 next year
