This is a article on fomos. I didn't write this, but sure had fun translating it. I first began watching professional StarCraft the December of 2007. This was few months after GGPlay had won his Daum OSL, and began to slump. That's why I Always saw GGPlay as a "weak" player, and paid more attention to the upcoming star Jaedong. In fact, I Always thought Jaedong was the best player ever, probably because I've wasn't there to watch Bisu 3-0 sAviOr in a dramatic series, or GGPlay make a 3:2 comeback against Iris, but I was here to watch Jaedong beat Stork with mutalisk and scourge on Katrina. Also, I never thought about the rigorous practices these progamers went through to achieve their dreams. This article gave me a new respect for GGPlay, and maybe it will help you think of him as a great player rather than "The least deserved OSL winner". I hope GGPlay continues to work hard throughout his life and becomes successful in whatever he does. My cheers to you, GGPlay!





A Requiem for GGPlay: Translation of the article "Cheers, GGPlay!"

Thanks NeverGG!


Since the progaming world is one where only the top small percentage survive, we can classify even those who just debuted in the broadcasted gaming world "a winner". We have moved on from the era where an amateur moved naturally to the world of professional gaming on his own, to the time where each team finds and raises talents in a team house, through fierce competition. In an environment where each player, with his own reason to play the game, gathers in one place and spends one half of his day practicing, the phrase "hard work" may seem irrelevant.

That is why to a progamer, "hard work" and "diligence" goes one step beyond their original meaning, defining a person who has strong mindset and determination. Lee Seung Won, an ex-commentator, called a match between two gamers a "mental sport". A match to prove which player has a stronger will.

Except a very small percentage of players, every player goes through being "no-namers", playing in the minor leagues. The recurring failures, the pressures of a possibly dark future, doubts about oneself, and the constant increase of strong opponents make a player's heart heavy. If we call the players who has the mindset to overcome these pressures and continuously evolve a "hard working type", that in itself would be a compliment.

If we pick the "hard working type" players using this definition, although there will be debates, we can pick the protoss (P)Stork, the terran (T)fantasy, and a very special role-model progamer, (Z)GGPlay.

You're going down!



GGPlay originally debuted under the spotlight as the "Hanbit Stars (former name of Woongjin Stars) zerg that would succeed (Z)Junwi". This was back in 2004 when GGPlay debuted in his match against (P)Nal_rA in the OnGameNet Challenge League Offline Preliminaries. He defeated Nal_rA, creating an upset, and qualified for the main league in only two tries.

"I want to spread my name"

What GGPlay said before his match in the main league was this calm and succinct. Although he couldn't climb the limits of a new player and was eliminated from the league with all losses, he again returned on his third try, passing through the offline preliminaries.

Unfortunately, in his group there were (P)Kingdom, who was one of the three top protoss at the time, and (Z)sAviOr, who had just all-killed KTF (now KT) and gained fame. Even with such a hard group, GGPlay did not falter. Against sAviOr he won after a close game with large scale mutalisk fights, and defeated Kingdom in a long game with queens and carriers. On the winners round with (P)fOru and (T)TheMarine he lost after tiebreakers, but defeated (Z)Max and (T)DoGGi in the dual tournament and became one of the 16 people to qualify for the OSL. He was the only player from Hanbit to qualify.

Unlike today's qualification rounds, it was significantly more difficult to make it to the round of 16 back then. For OSL, the 16 players were chosen through the offline qualifiers, then the challenge, then the dual tournament. MSL also had an offline qualifiers, then the minor league, then the major/minor rounds. So for a progamer, becoming a starleaguer in itself required a lot of effort, and the strong players' true abilities were revealed in the starleagues.

GGPlay smiles as he thinks of the candy mountain as he prepares for his match


However, for GGPlay, this was only the beginning of hardship.

In EVER 2005 OSL, even after defeating two strong opponents, (P)Kingdom and (T)Midas, GGPlay lost in the tiebreakers and failed to qualify for the round of 8. Then so1 round of 16, Shinhan S2 round of 16, S3 round of 16. Soon, he got the infamous nickname "round of 16 zerg". Besides winning the "most wins award" in 2005 first half of the proleague, he faced failure after failure.

For a progamer to continuously lose in a similar fashion every time can be more devastating than failing to qualify. The player begins to feel as if it's the limit, and getting the same results after intensly hard work truly shakes his will. That's why GGPlay's OSL win is even more dramatic, and shows how he continued to evolve into a winner.

Did you see that..? I'm number 1!


If you want to see the zerg trend between 2005 and 2007, you simply have to look at GGPlay's games. From the revolution of TvZ by the two Parks ((Z)GoRush and (Z)July), to (Z)sAviOr's 3 hatchery and (Z)ChoJJa's fast hive, GGPlay's changing style shows how intensly he practiced.

In time, the two parks left, ChoJJa's last spark disappeared, and even sAviOr's dominance seemed to end, but ggplay probably continued to test their legacy in many different ways. The traces of this can be found on the finals match with (T)Iris.

In the Daum Starleague Finals 3rd set, GGPlay was down 0:2 and contained by Iris. However, GGPlay broke the contain with amazing mutalisk micro that seemed to remind us of (Z)JulyZerg breaking (T)Goodfriend's contain. The 4th set where GGPlay placed a proxy hatchery and continued to spawn guardian and hydra reminded us of the "gambler" (Z)Silver, and the 5th set was like a game to answer all the previous Terran vs Zerg.

In the 5th set, Iris saw through GGPlay's attempts to end the game strategically in the lair phase, and through perfect unit usage, dragged the game on to hive phase. Iris then started harassing many different places and brought the game to his advantage. This is when GGPlay pulled out his sword: defilers.

After ChoJJa, Hive management to zerg players was like the holy grail filled with poison. How a zerg used the hive tech units became the center of Zerg vs Terran. GGPlay's decision was to use defilers. Even before his usage, defiler was a key unit in Zerg vs Terran, but GGPlay polished its use. Pushing his control to the limit, GGPlay showed that zerg can profit from fighting the terran force.

After defilers made their appearance, the game dragged on to the fight at 12 o'clock expansion, GGPlay's lifeline. Iris used dropships and other combination of strategies to try and make GGPlay make a mistake, but GGPlay used defilers to defend the expansion with only zerglings. Finally when GGPlay's recovery rate became faster than Iris's attacks, ultras began to spawn one by one. The ultralisks finished the match. For the first time in history of OnGameNet Starleagues, a player came back from 0:2 to 3:2, and as a zerg against a terran.

Pop-Quiz. Is he hugging a man or a woman?


After the Daum Starleague, ggplay started to lose strength. GGPlay's perfected zerg's history began to flow towards a new master, (Z)Jaedong, and the stones GGPlay stood on began to wear down.

In the Incruit OSL, GGPlay made a comeback, climbing to the semifinals, but lost to the new and upcoming terran (T)fantasy. After that, GGPlay fell into a deep slump and retired due to an injury on his wrist.

If we look back, GGPlay was truly a Hanbit-esque, Hanbit-raised star. Coach Lee Jae Gyun, who raised (P)Reach and found (Z)Junwi and (T)Silent_Control, had a soft yet strong method of training that was probably very fitting for GGPlay's personalities. Once GGPlay got through the Challenge Leagues, Coach Lee began to use him in proleague, and his faith was returned with a "most wins award". It doesn't take much to notice how much GGPlay helped Hanbit, and how Hanbit stood as a confidant for GGPlay. Although he had to change teams for a moment, GGPlay was a true Hanbit player.

GGPlay wasn't a genius who surprised everyone around him, nor was he fancy in or outside of the games. He didn't change the course of Zerg history or show off a long dominance. However, the river of Zerg could only show its true magnificence when it came upon GGPlay.

When the hatchery bug occured while he was in disadvantage, he admitted his loss. He also gave money for the taxi fare to the fans who came from outside the city. His clean manners awarded him his nickname "Daeinbae"*, but his strong will did not stop there.

GGPlay: A true winner


Average skills or determination cannot climb the merciless pyramid of progaming. However GGPlay used his tenacity and strong will to slowly walk up to the top.

Now he is leaving. We can no longer see his games, and soon it will become rare to even remember his games. However, his back as he walks away is truly beautiful.

With hopes that the limited knowledge of the Zerg mechanics did not hinder in showing GGPlay's real self, I offer my cheers to his new beginning.

Cheers, GGPlay!

I was just saw that article on Fomos and thought it had interesting pictures, but i didn't understand a word of it.

Thanks alot. This was a good read, and it is really sad that GGPlay has to retire.

I agree. When GGplay crushed flash in that medusa game- i was screaming at the top of my lungs...

Hope that he has success in whatever he chooses to do

Great job with translations! GGPlay'll surely be missed. The guy's brought us some of the most entertaining matches in SC history. From his game vs Stork on Andro to his thrilling comeback against Iris down 0-2 and in danger of getting his nat destroyed, the guy showed us some great games and great skill.

It's a shame he had issues with carpal tunnel. One great sportsman indeed. Will be greatly missed.
God Bless

GGPlay you will be missed T.T. I first became a fan when i saw his game vs Stork on Andro, but his games vs Flash in the incruit osl really cemented it for me. I think having the nickname the "gentleman" is probably one of the best nicknames to get. I really hope he won't be forgotten. GL in whatever you pursue GGPlay!

This is a good article. ggplay seems really popular in Korea, but for some reason, he doesn't seem that popular among the foreign community.

Also, it looks like he is hugging a guy.

Thank you for translating this!

Oh ggplay, you were one half of the pair that brought us the greatest ZvZ game ever played. And who can forget Stork vs ggplay? That game is a legend.

You will be missed <3

GGplay vs Iris was one of the first series I watched on youtube when discovering SC, I should really watch them again. Thanks for this translation. It really shows a good side of him.

GGplay in a music video! (:

It's sad to see him go, though. His finals against Iris truly was an amazing one.

Carpal tunnel

His OSL final series was just so damn epic. I only started following SC really closely when Woongjin sponsored the Stars, but I watched through most of GGPlay's OSL run and his famous games and he's just amazing. I was disappointed when he didn't do much in PL

Oh, and he has the best nickname ever. MAN OF VIRTUE aww yeah
<Wolfpox> i remember when MVP beat that one guy, and everyone was like 'whoa' except that penguin dude.
