I would have said the same thing if they were both asian or latin american or anything else. It's just another thing in a long list of similarities between Hovz and Combat-EX.

Dunno what being black has to do with anything... but... w/e... HovZ in my opinion was never that good. When Team USA was first made, he made the team and was top 10 USA material but even then, I used to be able to beat him and at that point, I played Terran and completely sucked. This is back in the early days of Grrrr... and Elky. Once the game evolved a little bit and players got better, HovZ couldn't keep up. Artosis, Nyoken, Rekrul, Froz, Assem, Day[9], and others were, and still are, far better than him.



Yes. He showed up to his house, knocked on the door, and hit him because Nextel shit talked him (if I remember correctly). HovZ was a disrespectful punk / criminal imo. Honestly, who the hell does that? Hopefully he has grown up and isn't such a "thug".

You're applauding him punching someone over a little smack talk? Really?

I still remember that old TL thread where Hovz called out Spain, saying all Spanish players were n00bs. Pages upon pages of smack talk ensued, then some B team Spain player (called Upham if I remember correctly) challenged and beat HovZ, immediately posting the replay in the thread. Ah.. the old days. =]

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.

I was friends w/ hovz back then and helped him a lot so obviously I am biased, but he was pretty good. His TvT was pretty good and so was his TvP. He was using tank/vulture (1 base) and if you think about how TvT was played recently, I'm talking about 2010 because I don't play bw anymore, it was alot of tank/vulture except off 2 base.

Nobody has mentioned this but in WCG 2003 hovz got 4th place. Top 2 went to Korea that year and it's very possible he could have gone. In loser bracket semis he had assem completely dead but threw the game away. It was legacy of char and he had all of the top half of the map while assem only had bottom left and was almost mined out. Assem was going BC/Turret to defend vs a mass wraith transition from a tank/goliath build and hovz just kept losing wraiths over and over. Eventually assem got bottom right and hovz never transitioned to anything else and lost. Ultimately he could have just built 10+ factories or went BC and ran over assem but he didn't. I watched this in person so I could see both players screen. It's too bad this replay most likely doesn't exist anymore.

He then would have had to play Mcnasty for 2nd/3rd who he had already lost to before so he still may have not made it to Korea. Obviously placing high in 1 WCG doesn't necessarily mean you're great and since he quit we'll never really know if it was a fluke or not.

As far as where he is now I've been told he just owns up the casino playing poker.
