Vile Gaming is very proud to announce the newest addition to the Team Vile Roster – SungYong “vileYong” Hong.
Formerly from the progaming team ZeNEX, Yong will now be representing Vile Gaming.
With much experience under his belt, and a very solid style, we believe that he is a perfect fit into the Vile Gaming Family.
Andrew "Atticus" Lemenager, General Manager of Vile Gaming, had this to say about Yong:We are all very excited to be adding Yong to our SC2 roster. Vile Gaming and its players have been showing incredible results in recent months, culminating with three players in the championship bracket at MLG Providence. With this addition, I’m confident that we will keep this momentum into the next season. Today we gain both a great practice partner and a wonderful personality, and I’m looking forward to seeing what he can do at a North American event.
Official Announcement and Interviews can be found HERE
Vile Gaming got a quick interview with Yong upon joining the team
Thank you to Jaewon "Bunker" Park for the translations.
Hello there Yong, nice to have you sit down with us. Please introduce yourself for those who don't know you.
Hi My Name is SungYong Hong, I am 24 years old and I play Protoss. My fans know me as ZeNEXYong but now I am going to be vileYong!
When did you start playing Starcraft 2 and coming into it, did you always want to be a progamer?
Hmm.. for starcraft2, i started playing right after finishing the army and when I wasn't going to school yet. I was able to play StarCraft 2 when open beta started in korea. When i was younger, I always had hopes and dreams of becoming a starcraft player but as of right now, i'm not so sure. There is so much practice and dedication involved
Interesting, So what made you interested in playing Starcraft 2?
After the army, I was looking for something to do. Fighting and Space always interested me, and Starcraft 2, was that for me. I thought it looked very fun and it would be very easy to be good at. Once I started playing I saw it as the complete opposite and very challenging
What made you say that? Prior to SC2, did you have a background at RTS Games?
Somewhat.. before Starcraft 2, I would play a lot of Sudden Attack (fps game), Warcraft 3, and Starcraft 1. Not competitively though, just as a hobby. So I guess yes, but at the same time no.
So, Playing Starcraft 2 for a little over a year now, What would you say your biggest achievements thus far?
For me, I think a great accomplishment for me would be playing in the GSL Season 1 and making it up to the round of 64. Aside for that, I did win a TL Open 2nd place, and then winning 1st place on the TL Open after that one.
So, after being a part of the progaming team ZeNEX and being with them for a long time, What have you learned and experienced being a progamer?
I learned alot. I learned how to mass practice like progamers do and that it takes alot of discipline and hard work. I am very thankful to have gone through that because It has improved my game so much from since I started playing.
How do you feel as a player coming from a proteam like ZeNEX and transitioning into a foreign team like Vile?
I am very very excited, at first nervous because I thought that the language barrier would be a big issue, and have difficulties feeling comfortable, but with team mates like vileDdoRo who helps me, and the team using easy to understand words, I feel at home.
That’s great to hear. So what made you decide to sign with Vile and what do you like most about them?
I became very familiar with Vile when I first came to North America Server and met DdoRo. We became very close friends and I would always run into a Vile Member in ladder and they were all very skilled. Naturally I became friends with everyone in the team. I liked how they were all very nice people and at the same time very skilled and practice hard. I enjoy my time with them so I decided to be teammates with them.
Awesome! So now that you’ve joined Vile, what would your fans be looking forward to?
The fans can expect great performances from me, whether it be tournaments or any type of competition. Fans can also see me practice while I stream and I hope that my fans will support me.
Very good, So as we close this off, Do you have any last shoutouts, and words for your fans. In English please :D
^^ Thank you all my fans, I love you all very much. Thank you very much Team Vile and all players, together, Vile Fighting! All my fans, please Cheer me~

Yong hwaiting! ZeNEX is crumbling as a competitive team. I think they're still a decent sized clan, but their competitive team is all but gone.

Well you can't now since he has already joined. If you tried to say it now you'd say "VileYong remains on Vile"

Cool news! I enjoyed watching Yong's stream a couple of times.
|
Great pickup. Vile as a team has been impressing me more and more and with a pickup like this, things can only improve.
P.S iLLusion is such a baller.

Stryker very inactive due to school, and iEchoic comes everytime theres a blue moon?
they were in B team for a while, but we dropped the B team so GL to them, but they dont play at all if anything hardly,
|
Congrats, very nice pickup for Vile.

|
|

Sick pickup! Vile seem to have some quietly impressive players and results, this should only increase their success.
|
Wow ZENEX has lost Byun, Coca, Hack, Puzzle and now Yong just to name a few in the past few months.
EDIT: apparently Mujuk is now on ZENEX
|
Yong fightin' ! His stream is awesome
|
Another Korean joining a foreign team, GREAT!! :D
|
Gratz! Vile has definitely became a very very solid team in the last 6-9 months. Lot of solid names on this roster. Congrats on the pick up! Vile Fighting!!!~~~
|
This guy is pretty good, I cast some games of him vs. Nestea, fun to watch. GL Vile!
|
|
|
good pick up for Vile!!!
Good luck Yong!
|
So when is ZeNEX finally announcing their disbanding?
|
Vile got a very nice team right now. Many upcoming talents and many solid top level players. Such a good mix.

Remember ZeNEX has one of the deepest talent pools to draw from. Having 2 of the best clans on the kr server to draw from (being Zenith and NEX) ZeNEX is not out at all. But the team is very much in transition. some fo the scariest players have come from the team. Its known for having a huge turnover rate as well, with a ton of players leaving all the time. Its just recently that its been made news.
|
ZeNEX seems to be quite the talent factory. Great to have a team where they bring up talented players that can later transfer to larger teams.
|
Great grab, but VileYong is a really stupid name imo
|
He didnt seem to like the hard work required to be a top gamer, i mean
When i was younger, I always had hopes and dreams of becoming a starcraft player but as of right now, i'm not so sure. There is so much practice and dedication involved
doesnt seem to like it to much x)
nevertheless, good pickup!
|
damn, i didn't see this coming. maybe psy will start practicing again
|
|
|
best protoss ♥ he's my teacher
|
sick pickup. Ive seen this guy ladder and he just destroys people. on the other hand, how much longer will zenex exist? do they even have players left?
|
I hope vile gets him out to some foreign events next year!

ZeNEX still has alot of players, tho none very known, theyre still very skilled. Ive seen ZeNEXAvenger play and hes very solid and also ZeNEXTreme and ZeNEXDestination, but then again theyre not known in the foreign scene. but they wreck people.

Also to all the zenex losing players comments, Zenex as a competitive team is pretty much dead and has been for a while. Effectively not actually though as an important distinction

This is huge! Congrats to Vile and Yong Step it up VILE!!!

Vile's lineup is pretty beefy. I didn't know they had so many good players!

Man vile is becoming a huge team! Tons of talent. I was wondering why Yong was streaming on ddoro's account a couple of weeks ago. I think the vile team members have known about this for a little while.

As he mentioned Yong and DdoRo are very good friends. I remember watching DdoRo's stream a while back and saw that he played on DdoRo and Yong's account and I thought they were the same person until recently.

He was using DdoRo's stream because his stream was glitching on him and he couldn't use it. DdoRo doesnt really stream much let him use, his id until teamliquid admins told him to not share stream accounts. So he fixed his stream and thats why he was using ddoro's.

knew a while back, welcome

Love watching his stream, grats guys.

Lol yeah, that's sort of what your post implies... In any case, the interview seems to say he isn't all that sure about being a progamer? I hope his new team will put the 'fun' back into his game!

Yong, State, Illusion, Chance...totally sick lineup.
|
Great pickup for Team Vile! GLHF Yong
|
The Vile team could be a serious threat in some of these tournies in 2012.
|
Maybe this is what carmac was talkign about, ZENEX will lose 3members hmm..

Ya that was what I was predicting beforehand simply because ZeNEX has been losing so many players, but that wouldn't be very exciting news. It would just be the continuation of ZeNEX falling apart. If they really do lose 2 more I assume they will just disband. They don't even really have any notable players any more... just Kyrix and Line who have not done anything too impressive, especially not recently.

Ya I'm hoping them and Quantic will add a lot to team tournaments, especially with Sixjax having looked strong enough to compete with other teams but then disbanding.

Edit: Ahh I double posted.  I wasn't thinking.
|
Totally expected.
Congrats!

ZeNEX has a ton of GM players right now. The fact that they are not coe S or Code A doesn't really mean much. Watch mcsl or any other Korean amatuer tournament and see the ZeNEX players destroying. I have seen NEXTreme take game soff of youngwha pretty easily. Just have to look for their talent. But its there for sure.
|
Wow congrats to Vile! Most talented member yet!
|
I agree with the statement vile could be a serious threat. Spanishwa, Yong, State & Illusion are all putting up decent results.
<3 Their new site design is pretty awesome too!

I noticed this when he logged on his stream and as a follower, i received an email notification when he starts streaming. i saw it say vileYong's stream i was like :O NO. WAY!
what a great pickup, his ladder games have been quite spectacular with a lot of great stargate play! :D
|
Poor ZeNEX lol. Congrats to team Vile!

Rip Zenex
I said hi to him on bnet and he is very nice.
Good luck to both parties!
|
Gratz! Fun to see a "smaler" team get some koreans and stepping up thier game! =D GLHF
|
Glad to see this too...
Amazing how SC2 is actually a GLOBAL sport.
|
I got mixed feelings while reading the interview.
|
Have to say, this along with the recent results Vile players have been posting is kinda impressive. Looking forward to see what the future is for them.
|
Hope he goes to next MLG !! and this guy's stream is so cool to watch
|
This is awesome news! Team Vile is getting scarier and scarier!
|
vileYong is climbing up the ladder. he has an unbelievable record of 52 win and 6 losses as of today and he's been playing vs grand master level players
|
lol i clicked the vilegaming.com link and there is no site..
|
vileYong sounds funny :3
good pick up though

Works for me. Try again.

Nice he seems pretty good, really like the vile team so many good players that I want to see breakthrough more in 2012 like PsY, DdoRo, now Yong and lets not forget Spanish and the rest of the team
|
Nice, It will be weird to hear VileYong though. Oh well I´ll get over it
|
So this is the first of three i guess... fare well Zenex.
|
VileYong sounds odd when you say it, but good luck to Vile and Yong.

He also has his old account zenexyong in top 10 grandmasters with like an 80% win rate I believe.
|
ZeNEX players slowly leaving their team. :/
|
I anticipate some pretty big things in the future for Vile...
Awesome pick up!

very nice addition to the vile team.

PsY barely takes the game seriously. Mass team games, never attends LANs, etc. I like him too but he's not really one of their possible competitors.
DdoRo, Yong, State.

His old acct still is really high up on the ladder even though he doesn't play on that account anymore. He's taking the game very seriously

Vile Gaming is becoming so strong. They had a SICK showing at MLG providence and I hope you guys keep kicking ass. Awesome pickup, grats
|
Really great pickup from Vile. Looking forward to seeing him at future events! I wondered why when I looked at the ZeNEX wiki he wasn't listed there at all.

PsY gonna school this guy XD
