(Wiki)TY announced via his AfreecaTV channel that he had returned from military service as of January 14th.

On his first stream back, TY revealed his interest in both StarCraft II and Brood War. He put more weight on StarCraft II as his primary game, but also said he wanted to play BW on the side and try to qualify for the ASL (he will be participating in the next ASL qualifier).

AdministratorHey HP can you redo everything youve ever done because i have a small complaint?

Wow, amazing thing to hear! I am a bit surprised he chose sc2 as his main game given the hearsay that he was going back to BW, but that’s nice for us

WriterSee you at Katowice 2023 :), will be the guy with a Maru shirt

Hopefully he can achieve the KeSPA dream of being the hybrid player they always wanted

That’s so exciting ! One of my favorite players of all time for sure, can’t wait to see him pick up the game again.

I don’t think splitting your attention is a good idea tbh, but TY is a smart guy, he should be able to allocate the effort he’s going to put in either game in reasonable ways hopefully :D
If he is gonna qualify for ASL it’s time to watch some bw again, that much is clear.

It’s always time to watch some BW.

Does seem like odd to try to do both. He had all that time in the military to make a choice and then didn’t.

Trying to qualify for most stacked tournament of the game he didn’t play for at least 10 years after being discharged? Only TY has so much courage. It’s going to be impossible but TY been playing BW and SC2 more than half of his life so who knows…

sunbeams are never made like me…

I just haven’t watched it in a while tbh, it becomes more interesting when you have someone to cheer for!

It’s a little odd, but my honest thought here is that he already wants to work on establishing a bw audience, because that seems to be the most stable way to make money in the korean landscape. While sc2 is still worthwhile to compete in for players who have the ability to do really well in tournaments.

TY has always been regarded as a multi-tasking master, but this is pretty awesome. Hope to see him qualify in ASL and also be competing in GSL at the same time if possible.
