He is one of only seven players to win the Ongamenet Starleague (OSL) twice. Garimto and was nicknamed "The Zealot",[1][7] and was notable for succeeding even during Boxer's height of dominance when many Protoss players struggled. He also innovated heavily with Protoss build-orders, making frequent use of "hidden" tech buildings and other tricks. Garimto had to quit professional StarCraft in order to do his Korean military service,[8] but now regularly acts as a commentator for games.[2][3][4] In his commentary he is known for criticizing current Protoss players for playing sloppily and hence not achieving the potential of the race.
