INnoVation revealed on Ryung’s stream that he will be beginning his mandatory military service in the near future, with the World Team League playoffs likely to be his final competitive event. According to INnoVation, he had received barely a month’s notice on his exact enlistment date.
INnoVation said he was not considering a return to StarCraft II after completing his eighteen-month service, citing his age.

This definitely feels like the most bloody year of Korean sc2 so far. Sigh.
Hope Inno has a good performance in the WTL this weekend to go out in style.
|
Not entirely unexpected, but a real shame nevertheless.
|
Too bad, it’ll be weird not having him around, but it did seem like his motivation had diminished a lot. Hope he can go out with a bang in WTL at least.
|
Yea I mean, this was inevitable, a matter of when and not if. Not surprised though, Innovation has been way out of form for a little while now which means I’m sure he knew (despite the short notice) that mandatory enlistment was an any day thing and since of his age probably time to start moving on.
I’m okay with it, Innovation was so dominant for so long and gave us all so many amazing series, good luck to you in this next phase of life sir.

That is very sad news indeed. We lost one of the best Terran player ever.
|
We all knew it was coming but its really sad and the end of an era. Tough for terran to lose TY and Inno in 6 months.

That’s a name I’ll dearly miss for sure, such a stable top contender for such a long time. Hope we see one last great Machine performance in the playoffs.
Also going to be interesting what KaiZi Gaming will/can do to replace him, as they’ll be a player short come next season of WTL.
|
A contender for GOAT. Will be missed and the scene will never be quite the same.
|
That makes me quite sad, especially since he doesn’t plan on coming back :/. The end of an era, truly.
|
My favourite ever player, still follow and cheer for you , wishing INnoVation all the best for the future!
