It seems as though h.o.t is being forced into retirement as a result of his mandatory service in the army which is set to begin this coming July...

No, he still played for HanbitStars in ProLeague. Mostly as a 2v2 player now.

This was bound to happen cause he is really old. Whats with all the progamers retiring these days. Especially Hanbitstars members like Clon and Hot. For all you people who are acting like it doesnt matter. Hot was one of the best zergs in his prime. He just had a problem with foreigners.

He made a PP with the Devine wind. I was the same game as boxers incredible maze. Two pimp moves in 1 game.
I played him and got stomped on. Neo Blaze.

well most people care because HOT-Forever was like the god of Zerg back in the days. It's like when Garimto retired, so obviously people who remember him from back then will take a huge blow.

I started watching progaming way after his time, so I don't really feel that disappointed, but to know that a man who's done a great deal to improve the game and my race, it kinda sux.
SAY YES TO STIM KIDS!!! XD

I followed progaming after his time too yet i still admire and respect him for what he did for zerg and star. I can say the same for Garimto too. I started after he retired yet he is like my favorite toss because he literally created toss. Much respect.
edit. sad to see someone not care. I hope nobody does this if Boxer ever retires.

I swear he has retired before. He was a nice guy, and was a god back in his day, but he deffinately had a huge problem with foreigners. I dont think there was one who didn't slap him around a bit?

Wish him all the best, army life is tough Especially since they dont even get paid for it T_T (no 2$ a month or whatever it is - does not mean they are getting paid nomatter what you say!)

Speaking of which, v-gundam is 6 months into his army service, i heard from him the other day, he seems well enough.
My hope is one day stupid people will feel the same pain when they talk, as the pain the rest of us feel when we hear them. Twitter: @Legionnaire_au
