Thinking about it I wonder if the lack of Sparkyz players was also part of the reason he retired. Certainly loss of interest can happen when you have to play SC for a living, but Hogil also lost a lot of his teammates and possible friends that he knew for a long time. First the scandal then the merger, both which cut down the Sparkyz members.

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.

Yeah, Hogil was on a lot of Dailies. I loved those games.

Well, good luck to Hogil ^^

Plenty of people do postpone it until after they're done with school(especially if they're going beyond a bachelor's degree), but people say it's a lot harder when you're younger than your superiors.


Is that part of the reason players like (P)Nal_rA and (T)NaDa didn't enlist - and still haven't enlisted - until their 30's in Korean age (assuming NaDa will eventually enlist within the next few years)?

Mandatory enlistment? It makes a decent amount of sense when you're a country that shares a border with a crazy-ass dictator-led country that occasionally randomly attacks your shit.

I believe Switzerland make it an obligation too.

dude i think you got confused there (or typed wrong), it's a lot harder for you when you're older than your superiors, not younger. obviously there'd be nothing wrong with being younger than your superiors (because that reinforces the age hierarchy in korean society, whereas younger superiors goes against that that)!

You are correct "able-bodied" Swiss men must enlist when they reach the age of majority.

Enlistment makes alot of sense but me reasoning most of it would derail this thread

I once watched a daily with Hogil in it, was quite good. Time for him to move on I guess...

Sigh, really sad Hogil has been my favorite Zerg player for quite some time, not because he was very good, but I always liked how he managed to somewhat overcome his mechanical weaknesses with a superb management play. + Hes always been a player with his own distinct play style, even when everybody else was doing the 3hatch into 5hatch whatever builds, you could still see Hogil doing things like placing his 3rd hatch at his natural. Just a really smart player in general (even if some would call his play style boring)

People who have not watched his old games, should check out some of these.
vs Violet @ Heartbreak ridge, as others have mentioned this is a legendary game.
vs Kal @ Heartbreak ridge, Picks Kal apart with perfect troop movement and unit composition.
vs Sangho @ Heartbreak ridge, absolutely perfect game from Hogils side, gets crushed on BO, but comes back by playing flawlessly (with a little help from sangho playing poorly some might say)
