Not really sure if I should post this here.

Anybody knows what happened to the old school Zerg? Has he moved to any other games or quit completely? Any news would be appreciated.

Chojja was my inspiration when I took Brood War seriously with Zerg and started focusing on 1vs1s in the early 2000s.

I heard him sync goodfriend and aqua got kicked off the team for "behavior problems" (note this is pretty old), probably lack of motivation...I remember a flash interview where he said Chojja was by far the most talented player ever, since he barely practiced but still could destroy players...yeah

Retired, here's the thread/tribute (by plexa):
http://www.teamliquid.net/blogs/viewblog.php?topic_id=65143
If you can't find anything else on him he's probably left progaming. Beyond that there's usually no information on what progamers are doing after they leave the scene, at least not in English.

Man this brings back memories.. I started following progaming around the time he was dominant. He definitely had potential to be bonjwa if he had stayed around.

Man ChoJJa is a badass, I really am curious what he is up to now as well, I remember a post a long time ago by rekrul I think where he said ChoJJa was the most badass pro gamer, he could take losses so well. I'd really like to know what he is up to as well !

Pretty sure Chojja switched to Terran. Hope he didn't get killed

In terms of long term success, he's probably the 5th best Zerg player ever. I wish I could have seen him in his prime. You could almost consider him a member of the Kong line with 2 losses to NaDa in a row. But I guess finally winning a Gold over the resident Bonjwa in 2006 gets any mention of that legacy erased.

His nickname came from the fact that he liked making Ultralisks (cows) before they got really popular.

Chojja was a badass ! Seems like one of the unsung zerg heroes. Every zerg who played in dark times and was good was a hero, Yellow, Gorush, Chojja.

BTW Any news on Kwanro ? Stork vs Kwanro was like one of most hilarious rivalries in modern broodwar. He was such a unique character in proleague. Is he still set that he won't play anymore?

I was so happy when he beat savior and got his first title, back then i really wanted yellow and chojja to obtain a title, but one of them failed =[.

I remember a zerg_zzang vid (old school fpvods) where he went 9pool speed zvp got 4 lings into the p base and microed it around for like 5 minutes until his 1 base mutas popped lol, crazy multitasking esp considering the mechanics of players werent that good yet back then. I can upload the vid by the end of the week if ppl want

I actually got to play the guy after our Clanbase Inviational match against 2L (a clan I think was set up for this league, featuring Testie and ChoJJa among others) and got raped soooo badly. I was never good at bw and didn't expect to win or get even close to, but that wasn't even funny.
