Former progamer resorts to crime

A former professional player has been arrested and held under police probation on burglary charges.

Although the identity has not been disclosed, Korean police have dropped hints that the criminal won the world’s most prestigious tournament in 2003, and is believed to be Korea, South Yong Bum ‘OgOgO’ Lee, who was the overall Starcraft champion of WCG2003.

The 22-year-old criminal allegedly broke the glass of an apartment on September 30, 2006 at 10:00pm which is estimated to cost around 6,700EUR, and stole 12,400EUR worth of cameras.

He is also believed to have stolen money from taxis in June last year.

A spokesman of the Korean police said: “He was a famous progamer who won a prominent gaming tournament in 2003. However, he is probably frustrated that he didn’t receive sufficient support as a progamer and thus, resorting to such crimes.”

OgOgO, aka gese[pG] and many more, was never a progamer so i dont see the reason for saying former progamer was arrested. he has rich parents that didn't allow him to become pro, instead they had insane demands for every team that was interested in their son.

It's most certain that it's him because they revealed he won WCG and his name is Lee, there are only two gamers that fit such description. One of them is a progamer Foru who is in army now so he couldn't possibly have done it, not to mention the age thing because ogogo is 24 if i'm correct.

If force won't work, use greater force.
