Like Dream for example didn't think he'd ever go pro again after military so he didn't play much. ByuN is using a lot of his off-time in his service to play SC2 still and he's always high on ladder. IIRC his name also came up as a practice partner during this season of GSL.
I mean he's not gonna win GSL in his first season back but I don't think he will drop off as far from where he used to be as other players did.

Man is this just gonna be bio vs LBM every game? I could use a bit of variety.

SoO is such a weird player. Neither his results nor his games ever (well yknow what I mean) look dominant, but damn is he a great player

Yeah ByuN has several accounts at 6.9k MMR and got a job in the military that allows him to go home at night (and practice) iirc. Even without seeing him in tournaments he's probably the best of the returnees.

Oh, I had no idea. If people want to practice with him already that is a different thing entirely. And if he's on 6.9k mmr, that's crazy.
Nevertheless, quarterfinals in Code S seems very difficult in his first season. It was difficult for him even before he went to the military.

I guess ByuN is showing everyone how to handle military service.

that looked like lings and banes went to exactly the wrong targets

this is a good series, I agree it lacks a bit of variety so far but I'm enjoying it
|
Still no overseers in the muta control group
|
Remarkably decent game for a TvZ on P&I.
edit: But terran wins as usual.

Inno's ability to not run out of shit will never stop being impressive.
