In a move that has sent ripples of excitement through the global StarCraft 2 community, Indian esports powerhouse S8UL Esports has announced its foray into the strategic depths of Blizzard Entertainment’s iconic RTS. To spearhead this new venture, S8UL has secured the signature of none other than the esteemed Korean Terran player, Koh “GuMiho” Byung-jae!
S8UL Enters In StarCraft 2 Universe
Known for his innovative strategies, exceptional mechanical skill, and a career spanning over a decade at the highest levels of competition, GuMiho brings a wealth of experience and a proven track record to the S8UL banner. This marks a significant milestone for the organization, signaling its ambition to expand its reach and compete in diverse esports titles on the international stage.
GuMiho is a name synonymous with resilience and brilliance in the StarCraft 2 world. Born on August 4, 1992, the South Korean prodigy first burst onto the scene in the 2010 GSL Open Season 3, remarkably as the only Random player to ever compete in a GSL individual event. Though his initial forays were short-lived, GuMiho quickly transitioned to Terran, showcasing a natural talent that would soon establish him as a formidable force.
His career highlights include a memorable semifinal run in the 2012 GSL Season 1 and an unforgettable all-kill performance in the 2012 Global StarCraft II Team League Season 2 finals for FXO against the formidable SlayerS-EG lineup. This legendary feat, where he single-handedly defeated MMA, Min, CoCa, Ryung, and Puzzle in succession, cemented his reputation as a clutch player capable of extraordinary feats under pressure.

Throughout his illustrious career, GuMiho has consistently competed in top-tier tournaments, showcasing his adaptability and longevity in a constantly evolving game. He has represented prestigious teams such as CJ Entus and MVP, and has achieved notable results in both Korean and international events, including a runner-up finish at DreamHack Tours 2015 and a quarterfinal appearance in the 2015 GSL Season 3 Code S.
Interestingly, GuMiho is also known for his engaging presence within the English-speaking StarCraft community and holds the unique distinction of being nicknamed “Towel Terran” by commentator Artosis due to his use of a towel during matches to manage hyperhidrosis.
After fulfilling his mandatory military service, GuMiho made a swift return to the professional StarCraft 2 scene, demonstrating his unwavering passion for the game. Now, he embarks on a new chapter with S8UL Esports, ready to bring his strategic prowess and commanding Terran play to a new audience and a new competitive landscape.
