i see esperanza and fivek (as igl) playing for damwon, not sure about anyone else though, maybe efina back to tnl or play for an org like talon/spear? bunny and zunba military service though :(
Obeeey [#2]Hanwha Life gonna sign them per sources COPIUM
where did you hear hanwha is going to val? surely if theyre joining afreeca has to aswell right
thanatos11 [#4]What are the rules on military service? I know Heung Min Son got out of it because of Korea winning the Asia games but still had to do the actual training. How long is the training then the actual service?
18 months, you can choose any time from 18-28 in korea to do your service
only people exempt are those deemed mentally unfit to go to service or sports atheletes, esports wise i think only lol, dota, and sc2 players are exempt
Sprouts [#5]Maybe uniting under a new org? ie Lunatic-Hai, Talon, Element Mystic
hai already has their tryout roster (shotval page) and it doesnt look too promising besides redwater, itll be a while before orgs like talon and mystic join though, but depending on whos picked up i can see efina definitely being signed
i just think fivek and esperanza are better fits to damwon due to the rebuild, as an igl fivek seems like a good bet and esperanza is a driving force to f4q's berlin performance

I didn’t think esports athletes got any exemptions, I remember watching worlds a few days ago and they were saying about how this was someone’s last worlds because of military service

think that only applies for the notable representatives though, unless people like faker still arent exempt

Yeah, hai seem pretty determined to have a bad roster again, even though they have the funds for a good one :/
Picking up F4Q would’ve been worth it though imo, but it is kind of a weird time for orgs to enter the scene from a financial standpoint

It was a joke

You mean Khan, it will be his last Worlds and he will probably retire for military service.

Plays for Damwon?
turkey [#15]i’m not educated on this so i’m sorry but do the other 3 not have to go to military or have they already served their time
fivek has already done it i think, esperanza and efina are young and have multiple years to go before having to attend
SeulgiVLR [#17]fivek has already done it i think, esperanza and efina are young and have multiple years to go before having to attend
when do you have to do it, 18?
turkey [#18]when do you have to do it, 18?
you must enroll at any time for 18 months from 18-28 y/o besides if you are deemed unfit to attend
