Ex-Brood War pro-gamer Park "ForGG" Jisu has joined the Old Generations progaming team, after retiring from professional Brood War earlier this year. He will be playing under the ID "oGsFin" for his Starcraft II career. ForGG cited his relationship with ex-Lecaf teammate and present oGs coach Gon as one of the factors for joining oGs.
ForGG is most famous for winning the Arena MSL in 2008, defeating Jaedong 3-0 in the finals.
Entirely subjective evaluation: Though he was never able to capture the same degree of success after winning the championship, ForGG became a solid mid-tier progamer who specialized in dangerous timing attacks. Though he was a more successful gamer than fellow ex-BW pro MVP, it is worth taking into account his cheesy play style compared to MVP's macro preferences.
Trivia: ForGG was known for his theme song, The Pretender by Foo Fighters (known among Korean fans as the 'conquering song'], as it was the main theme for the Arena MSL where he won his only championship. MBCGame would habitually play the song whenever he made a television appearance.

Nice.
I feel like his style will work godly with current SC2 Terran.

Why not oGsThePretender 
EDIT: I was actually hoping/thinking that when he joined a team he'd join IM, but oGs is good for him. IMThePretender would've been so godlike though...
|
Exciting news! :D...I wonder if he'll go to foreign tournaments anytime soon.

Interesting! I like his new ID much better, haha. Good luck to him, the most accomplished BW progamer to switch to Sc2, and probably the second best.
Timing attacks in Sc2? lol, you haven't seen anything yet.
EDIT: Ah, of course there are two bonjwa's playing Sc2. I meant most accomplished and still playing A-team until recently. But of course, I didn't say that at all, so here's the clarification.

sign of things to come? :D
|
oGsFin? What is up with Koreans and bad IDs .
