no way was he an 'average' player, he was pretty damn good. An average player wouldn't win WCG/korean prelims.. although I think in 2003 the korean prelims were online and had a lot of wintrading.. cant remember.
I think he used defilers a lot in ZvT when it was fairly unpopular to do so at the time(2003)

Before I get banned I would like to say  Ogogo was a zerg player with very good mutalisk control. He was one of the few that could play well on island maps - he made other (mostly european however) players look like complete newbs when he dominated them on "impossible to win" island maps mostly due his trademark muta micro (some sort of July zerg prototype, or follower of Yellows muta-harrass tactics). On normal maps he was an "average" progamer zerg, playing mostly the now forgotten low-econ lurker-ling strat in ZvT, mass mutas in ZvZ (with ability to snipe the scourge) and pretty traditional ZvP (I think there was a replay where he massed mutas vs protoss and killed few archons - pretty entertaining). Ogogo produced some quality replays - like a game where he managed to stop an early bunker rush on LT 6/12 (during the era when terrans said that TvZ is easy - "just bunker rush and FE" - who said that btw?). He often played with European players, due to lack of korean training partners.
not really, ogogo revolutionised zvp, especially on lost temple, hydra/lurk drop was his trademark, especially dropping hydra on lt (hill above exp) and then morphing into lurks <3
he won boxer in his prime so he was damn good, he really dominated him in those wcg games. one of the best zergs at that time for sure.

No. And what does Bill Gates have anything to do with this? Bill Gates is one in a million (billion, really) miracle.

richard branson is similar, but no where near as rich as bill gates :p

No. How about you come back and read your post and say if this has anything to do with what I'm trying to say? And what does Bill Gates have anything to do with this? Bill Gates is one in a million (billion, really) miracle. You don't see anyone who try to be like him and become as successful as he is, do you? While in my *true* scenario (yes, Shinhan did say that progamers are skilled with computers and would like to give them jobs in the banking industry), there are many progamers, while many aren't successful, a job opputunity such as what Shinhan was offering is not limited to only those who are successful, thus include people who have never achieved anything. Besides, most progamers are within 15-20 years of age, which is still very young to have any true potential in a proper working setting. They have a whole decade ahead of them to try to switch professions, and get back to college. Progaming also gives the players publicity. Techinically, they are employed by the company sponsoring them. Just putting that in thier resume, not to mention the possibility of being hired by those same companies outside of their progaming team, is a big bonus.
If you arent a top tier player, you have no name recognition. Just 10 years wasted on a game.

This is almost as disappointing as the time I beat ogogo with tank drops on LT in 2005.

Certainly it is easier, but that does not make all good players addicts. There are specific symptoms that define an addict that stretch beyond doing something a lot.
In Korea, progaming is a feasible dream. People can commit to that dream, loving the game but not being addicted to it, and they will spend numerous hours gaming. That does not mean that they will go anywhere in life, even as a gamer, but that does not make them an addict.
Throwing around such terminology meaninglessly is stupid.

I think the game you're referring to (Grr does a lot of sexy defending with DArchons vs waves of Ultra/Ling) was vs ZergLee, not Ogogo.

I think you missed the point. The point was not that kids find STARTING gaming easy, it was that kids who reach the TOP of the gaming have the willpower to succeed at anything.

qft hippie. This is completely untrue. There are some things in life you cannot reach the top of, no matter how hard you try, unless you are born with some natural talent for it. No SC pro could probably ever top Michael Jordan at basketball, Babe Ruth at baseball, etc. Not just feats of a physical nature either... I honestly doubt every sc pro could become the next Picasso, or Shakespeare, or Frank Sinatra.
So no, determination is not enough. People telling their kids stupid nonsense like you're spewing is the reason every kid thinks they're going to be an astronaut or an actor or the President. Some things are just impossible, no matter how hard you try.

Wouldn't it be kinda funny though to be robbed by a starcraft player?
You'd have to say something like "wow 300 robberies per minute" or "hanna dul set OGOGO STEALING"
