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.

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

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

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.
He shouldn’t have lost that 1. Evidences that he wouldn’t last in Code S.
But it’s ok Serral understands this. He plans to go to the military and win EWC during service.
The ultimate challenge and career-blocker to any KR Starcraft player.
He will deliver, and then all will see.
gl to him, 1 yr break is not too long

Quoting the official website:
“Depending on the training, military service lasts 165, 255 or 347 days. Conscripts trained for rank-and-file duties serve for 165 days, those trained for rank-and-file duties requiring special skills and those completing unarmed service serve for 255 days. Conscripts trained to be officers, non-commissioned officers or for the most demanding special duties in the rank-and-file serve for 347 days. Non-military service lasts 347 days.”
I guess an RTS player fits most for an officer role? XD
Shouldn’t they let you know how long it takes so that you can plan accordingly?

I wonder why the duration is a wide range, instead of a specific number. Shouldn’t you know the duration beforehand?

Maybe it’s something he choses to do or will be chosen for him once he entered basic training?
From wiki
The conscripts at first receive basic training, after which they are assigned to various units for special training. Privates who are trained for tasks not requiring special skills serve for six months. In technically demanding tasks the time of service is nine, or in some cases 12 months.
