He was the WCG champion, defeated Boxer on TV, had nice muta micro / hydra drops / low econ lurk-ling... did not find any team and 5 years later stole some cameras.
Did he come out of prison yet? Or is he a young bum?

Before I get banned I would like to say Ogogo was a zerg player with very good mutalisk control. He was one of the few that could play well on island maps - he made other (mostly european however) players look like complete newbs when he dominated them on "impossible to win" island maps mostly due his trademark muta micro (some sort of July zerg prototype, or follower of Yellows muta-harrass tactics). On normal maps he was an "average" progamer zerg, playing mostly the now forgotten low-econ lurker-ling strat in ZvT, mass mutas in ZvZ (with ability to snipe the scourge) and pretty traditional ZvP (I think there was a replay where he massed mutas vs protoss and killed few archons - pretty entertaining). Ogogo produced some quality replays - like a game where he managed to stop an early bunker rush on LT 6/12 (during the era when terrans said that TvZ is easy - "just bunker rush and FE" - who said that btw?). He often played with European players, due to lack of korean training partners. not really, ogogo revolutionised zvp, especially on lost temple, hydra/lurk drop was his trademark, especially dropping hydra on lt (hill above exp) and then morphing into lurks <3 he won boxer in his prime so he was damn good, he really dominated him in those wcg games. one of the best zergs at that time for sure.

In the old thread they wrote he stole 18k worth of cameras.

Well that happened 6,5 years ago. I don't know Korean legislation, but I would assume that he would've got out if he got convicted of burglary?

Ogogo was oldschool gosu, I hope he is out...maybe he will be playing in sonic
|
Hmm wow, just hearing of Ogogo for the first time now, that old thread got created just before I started browsing TL and following the pro scene.
There's a little bit of info on him on liquipedia here, though most of that information can be found in this thread and the one linked above by DPB.

probably one of the secret zergs in lovetv

that's what I was hoping for too

I remember ogogo, he was the first person who I looked for reps on WGT and WDT back in the day.
His multitask was amazing. Kinda like how that random player Gumiho? was in SC2.
He would be constantly dropping units all over the place in overlords. Lurkers, hydras, ling runs, etc. All the while keeping his macro going.

I've always been a huge fan of Ogogo, he has always been a broodwar player that I looked up to. I was sad to hear about him being put in jail for stealing cameras. I hope he's doing well, he's always had a happy personality and seemed like a good guy.

OGOGO
I hope we get a real answer to this lol.

WHat??? Seriously?? Ogogo went to jail? I've always been puzzled by ogogo, he was an amazing revolutionary player, but aside from wcg I never saw him compete in anything else.

ogogo is such a weird guy, his play was intriguing though
|
He should be out I guess. I really hope that he is not a bum, hope someone can enlighten us.
|
We need to make a Ogogo fan page and an Ogogo tribute / appreciation thread, WE MUST FIND OGOGO !!!!
|
Gese[pG] Fighting... ogogo was such a baller.
|
Just curious though, Savior was main dude busted for Illegal betting and banned from kespa/esports and he was zerg. And Ogogo did some bad stuff too.
Were there any other noteable players who weren't zerg who were convicted of crimes?
