Anyhow I see that some people actually care. well most people care because HOT-Forever was like the god of Zerg back in the days. It's like when Garimto retired, so obviously people who remember him from back then will take a huge blow. I started watching progaming way after his time, so I don't really feel that disappointed, but to know that a man who's done a great deal to improve the game and my race, it kinda sux. | ||

I followed progaming after his time too yet i still admire and respect him for what he did for zerg and star. I can say the same for Garimto too. I started after he retired yet he is like my favorite toss because he literally created toss. Much respect. edit. sad to see someone not care. I hope nobody does this if Boxer ever retires. | ||

Wish him all the best, army life is tough  Especially since they dont even get paid for it T_T (no 2$ a month or whatever it is - does not mean they are getting paid nomatter what you say!)Speaking of which, v-gundam is 6 months into his army service, i heard from him the other day, he seems well enough. | ||

Garimto retired when he was on top, after winning 2 OSL titles. What has HOT done for last year? Last 2 years? So I can fucking not care. I guess I spoiled your great funeral mood, by not whinning like "omg TT it sucks wtf he was so good back in the times when no one used hotkeys" | ||

IF you even know HOT's game, then you'd be fucking showing respect, rather then saying stupid comments and trying to defend your "i don't care" post. also, i've read that pro gamers just stay in the "pro" status so they don't have to be enlisted to the army...but like someone said earlier, hot is pretty old. | ||

Threads about HOT, not about you caring. Your post was off subject. So... yeah you get what I'm saying. I'd rather remember some cool HOT moments than you saying you don't care.. cuz I don't care you don't care either. | ||

Oh yeah, he grew this big chunk of new-brain specifically for stacraft. It just happened to bulge his head a bit, so no army. How about that. I've only seen a couple of games of HOT's, but heard a lot about him. Maybe he'll come back as a coach or advisor. | ||

Nobody 'really' cares if they're progamers. Yeah, progaming is big in Korea but you only get exempt from military service if you're a national soccer player. Oh, they can avoid military service by getting fat, becoming blind, chopping their legs off etc. ~_~; But they'll get something worse... like jail or being exiled. | ||

that one starleague when he played nada in groups, and at the time nada was the fucking invincible pimpmaster macro-tacular terran god. The map was bifrost, H.O.T. goes early evo chamber, 3 hatch no lair, and goes pure HYDRA after his first few lings. Nada has probably never seen that strat before, and is so flustered that he lifts his cc while building a comsat. H.O.T. runs around his small groups of hydras, jabbing at nada's rine/med combo here and there. Nada is reluctant to chase, reluctant to stay, can't do anything. When he finally commits himself to attacking, H.O.T. catches him with a PERFECT flank with another group of hydras and absolutely owns him. It's GG like a minute later. Of course, H.O.T. went on to not win anything for like 3 or 4 years but who gives a fuck. | ||

No. You're completely wrong. The age you enter and leave military is a choice. I'm not sure what is the age limit on the military service but.. it's pretty old... meaning most people would rather go than running away like a pussy. | ||

Cuz then you haven't had a favorite player in a tourney in years. Sad thing is, I still don't get what made HOT suck -_-;; His retirement was sad but I found Jinnam and Jinsu's sadder. They were better toss killers imo -_-;; | ||

He was sponsored by the entertainment group SM which is an entertainment group that manages H.O.T as well as Boa for a while during early years in his pro-gaming career. He was the only progamer to be sponsored by Music entertainment group. His original dream was to become a celebrity, not a progamer, but which he is forced to pursuit a latter due to his looks? Do you see resemblance? ![[image loading]](http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y299/1tym4yermind/h.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y299/1tym4yermind/yomdoong2_18.jpg) | ||
