I was just curious where Hovz went. I know he used to be really popular, but I never understood the story about where he went. I don't want to say something that's wrong, to just create drama, I just used to enjoy talking to him on wgtour.

He started playing poker for a living. Last I heard he was doing pretty well playing live, but that was a couple years ago(maybe even longer, time flies). If you ask on liquidpoker.net I imagine someone there would know where he is in life right now.

Wherever he is, I imagine he's showing the Spanish who's boss.

Yo, that is really racist, saying he played Terran.

I was just curious. I had heard so much about him, but it was always impossible for me to tell the difference between the rumors and the truth when I was talking to him. He had the most elaborate stories that he'd tell me years ago, but I'd never believe him. I just liked to listen to the stories. I know lots of people say that he wasn't good, but imo he was pretty good. I felt like he just got too caught up trying to sound tough.

For those that need some background, here's an interview/chat with Hovz by Manifesto from around 2004ish:

This guy is like a more oldschool version of Combat EX. He brags a lot, has no wit, keeps saying dumb things, thinks he's better at the game than he is, is black, and is a douche bag. :D

you can say what you want of hovz but in his prime he was definitely one of the best terrans in the U.S. Probably 2nd or 3rd best, honestly I can't remember what terran in the U.S. I had more trouble vs than him.. but im probably just not remembering.
