After finishing the short presentation for the transition from JulyZerg (BroodWar) into FantaPrime (Starcraft 2) (3 showmatches JulyZerg into FantaPrime) i was curious about checking some other BroodWar references that might be considering doing the same.
Source: Team Liquid "...GARIMTO says that since there arent any Korean SC2 teams yet, he decided to join MYM, from Denmark, to participate in SC2 competitions..."
Interesting or not, he was a Protoss Master in BroodWar but now it appears hes avoiding the race and trying instead Zerg and Terran based on the replays i was able to collect.
So without any further delay, i give you:

GARIMTO (T) VS oGsCool -FruitVendor- (T) Part 2
Source: Liquipedia - "Playing for Hanbit Stars, winning two OGN Starleagues and being known as the protoss who has revolutionised modern Protoss, he eventually retired, settling onto a life of commentating with OGN for Proleagues and game designing with a company. His last hurrah was during the Panasonic OSL, where, even though he was semi-retired, was able to put on an excellent last stand, especially against the Emperor, SlayerS_`BoxeR`.
GARIMTO won two major OnGameNet Starleagues in Freechal (defeating SKELTON, 3-0) and the Emperor himself in the SKY 2001 OSL, BoxeR (3-2), where the latter would go on to have a tough time in later OSL finals. Besides the OGN leagues, he would rarely appear in Teamleagues for Hanbit or KPGA Tournaments."

Thank you to Team Liquid for the Bio text GomTV for the photo and CholeraSC for the excellent videos and shoutcasting
I know that Boxer was more influential because of his interesting micro, building the skt1 team, and establishing and legitimizing starcraft, but I always have liked GARIMTO more :\

Yeah, the two threads about July and GARIMTO going to SC2, while I support the idea that SC2 should be taken more seriously by the hardcore BW fans, still doesn't mean the best active RTS players in the world at the moment have considered SC2 sufficiently. But I love those threads anyway. (:
