Popular Streamer and Former Pro Player Rush Completes South Korean Military Service

A Brief Look at Rush’s Career
Rush gained popularity with North American audiences as a player and streamer. In 2015, he competed in the LCS and reached the playoffs of both the Spring and Summer Splits with Team Impulse. He also received the MVP award during the second split of that year.
Afterwards, he joined Cloud9’s academy team but took an 18-month break from competitive gaming. He made a return to professional play in the 2018 Spring Split as a jungler for KT Rolster. He then moved back to North America to play for Echo Fox. Following a disappointing 2019 season, he retired once again and transitioned into becoming a streamer and content creator for CLG. On November 30, 2020, he joined the military to complete the mandatory service in Korea.
