Serral announced through his stream and Twitter that he will begin his mandatory military service on April 15th. Due to military service, it is not 100% certain that he will be able to participate in the upcoming DreamHack Dallas and Esports World Cup tournaments.

The official stream notice stated the following:

“I will begin my mandatory military service on April 15th. The duration of my service is 6-12 months. I will be part of the Finnish Defence Forces Sports School, which will allow me to train during my conscript service. I won’t be able to participate in all of the events during this time, but I will TRY to participate in Dreamhack Dallas and the World Championship tournament.”

Serral gave additional context on Twitter:

“Just to clarify, it is highly likely that I will attend the larger events. Additionally, I won’t be disappearing anywhere, but you are going to see me less often during my service.”

This is not a troll. They were going to be creating a new livestock division to accommodate goats, but recent reliable intel on Serral has changed the military’s decision, and he will be put up in a barracks.

Oh nice, im super glad he’ll be able to try to compete at Dallas and EWC!

If he’s able to win EWC despite being in the military – then that’ll be another huge achievement.

For the note. That ‘6-12 months’ uncertainty is due possibility he may be chosen to go NCO or Reserve Officer courses, in which cases he will serve longer than just minimum 6 months.

If we are super-pessimistic for a moment: It certainly would be fitting for a game that has historically been plagued by military service retirement that the best player misses the possibly last big tournament…through military service.

Hope it works out and he can atleast go to Riyadh (I can’t write this damn city in english…) and win it all.

Even being a foreigner can’t stop the military service retirement.

Safe to assume that to be good at Starcraft you need to be born in a country with mandatory military service

Scary time to be doing military service in Finland, what with the situation with Russia being so heated right now. But unless anything serious happens Serral will be back in a few months, Finnish military service requirements aren’t as long as Korean.

What do I gotta do to be the GOAT? Who else do you need me to beat? Fine, I’ll destroy everyone in the biggest tournament out there. 20-1. Cherry on top of my legacy. No? Forget it, nothing will ever be good enough for you guys. Fuck it, I’m done here, I’m joining the military.

It has a strong technique, but it lacks oo.
