Who is Choi Yeon-sung?

Choi Yeon-Sung, also known as iloveoov, is a professional Korean StarCraft player who uses the Terran race. He is known for his excellent macromanagement, leading to his nickname "Cheater Terran". However he is better known as "Monster Terran" because of his ability to produce a massive amount of units. He sees Lim Yo-Hwan, who was on the same team as him, as an older brother or mentor. It's been known that Lim scouted Choi through a match in battlenet after losing to Choi's Terran, Zerg and Protoss. Choi beat Lim 3:2 in 2004 during the Ongamenet Ever Starleague finals. The 'oov' in his nickname is believed to be the ASCII emotion icon of a face and 2 fingers forming letter 'V' which stands for victory. He announced his retirement as a progamer as a result of a wrist injury, to become a coach for his team. Since then, Choi returned to the active roster as a "player coach".
