Hogil

The Hogil Day9 Daily is one of my favorites. I think there might be two of them on Hogil. Anyways, this sucks. I've always enjoyed watching this guy. Wish his mid game had been stronger.


I remember those. I always cheered for him after I saw those

GL in what you choose to do with your future Hogil.

Ehh never really cared about or noticed him specifically so whatever. Would have been hilarious if he had joined ACE to make them into a further joke.

Very surprised. Hogil's born in 1991, still a few more years before he reaches the age when progamers usually enter military service.

It might have something to do with the fact that he wasn't started even once during Winner's League. The CJ environment is so cutthroat.

Anyway, good luck to him in the future!

Never liked Hogil, but losing BW players isn't good as the scene already have lost tons of players.
I wish him good luck in his future though.

Shit happens when the nation comes knocking on your door(or in this case, Hogil knocking their door).

Good luck, Hogil.

I remember a game he played against Flash last year or so, just when god young ho started to show dominant play. I always though he had some potential but never really used it along his progamer career.

aww laem!!! I always liked HogiL as a person but didnt like his play (except when he beat JD).

And two years of military service is mandatory and normal... Here you have about 1 year and I know a friend in Sweden and there they have no mandatory military service. You can like fake a injury or something or just say you dont want to go and almost all the times you dont need to.

I'm really sad . His defensive management oriented style really contributed to the developement of the zerg race especially in ZvP and to lesser extent in ZvT . People here might call it just boring turtling , but in reallity it is pretty hard to pull of . His game against free in the day9 daily showed how good Hogil can be at defending and taking control of the map without overextending himself and really not giving a fuck if protoss will get more bases and equall yours , because he can take them down with lategame management and well executed attacks .

This will surely hurt CJ , maybe not in their lack of players in the line-ups in PL , but their performance in it , because Hogil has been no doubt a good practise partner for the team if anything . Well thats how it is in CJ probably the most competitive players can get within a team . There are always younger players who are striving to surpass their superiors , but that is also why i like them the most .

Never really found him particularly fun to watch or astonishing (except when he beat Jaedong recently), but abrupt retirement is sad news regardless. Best of luck to him.

Dang... crowded Entus lineup is taking it's toll...

I will remember Hogil as a decent ZvP player, even if his policy was always to turtle and bring it to the lategame. There is a one or two games (one was against Free on some Twilight map), where he really brought the best non-Jaedong game sense Zerg can show in the matchup.

I'd love to see him transferred to some other team or even as an Air Force ACE conscript, but now...

GG Hogil, GL on your future life.

Too bad that he had to quit altogether... he would've been a boon for KT or OZ.

I think the fact that he's going at the normal age for "normal people" means that he's going to live a "normal" life like other people.... After he finishes his two years, I'm guessing that he's going to study for univ.

This sucks... I remember when he beat Flash last year. That was awesome. A really clever zerg. I guess he didn't feel like competing with Hydra.

that military thing must suck so much for koreans. I can't imagine losing two years like that.

at least he'll come out of service knowing what it's like to be in shape.

Beat Flash? What are you talking about? O_o
