We are all very excited to be adding Yong to our SC2 roster. Vile Gaming and its players have been showing incredible results in recent months, culminating with three players in the championship bracket at MLG Providence. With this addition, I’m confident that we will keep this momentum into the next season. Today we gain both a great practice partner and a wonderful personality, and I’m looking forward to seeing what he can do at a North American event.

Thank you to Jaewon "Bunker" Park for the translations.

Hello there Yong, nice to have you sit down with us. Please introduce yourself for those who don't know you.

Hi My Name is SungYong Hong, I am 24 years old and I play Protoss. My fans know me as ZeNEXYong but now I am going to be vileYong!



When did you start playing Starcraft 2 and coming into it, did you always want to be a progamer?

Hmm.. for starcraft2, i started playing right after finishing the army and when I wasn't going to school yet. I was able to play StarCraft 2 when open beta started in korea. When i was younger, I always had hopes and dreams of becoming a starcraft player but as of right now, i'm not so sure. There is so much practice and dedication involved





Interesting, So what made you interested in playing Starcraft 2?

After the army, I was looking for something to do. Fighting and Space always interested me, and Starcraft 2, was that for me. I thought it looked very fun and it would be very easy to be good at. Once I started playing I saw it as the complete opposite and very challenging



What made you say that? Prior to SC2, did you have a background at RTS Games?

Somewhat.. before Starcraft 2, I would play a lot of Sudden Attack (fps game), Warcraft 3, and Starcraft 1. Not competitively though, just as a hobby. So I guess yes, but at the same time no.



So, Playing Starcraft 2 for a little over a year now, What would you say your biggest achievements thus far?

For me, I think a great accomplishment for me would be playing in the GSL Season 1 and making it up to the round of 64. Aside for that, I did win a TL Open 2nd place, and then winning 1st place on the TL Open after that one.



So, after being a part of the progaming team ZeNEX and being with them for a long time, What have you learned and experienced being a progamer?

I learned alot. I learned how to mass practice like progamers do and that it takes alot of discipline and hard work. I am very thankful to have gone through that because It has improved my game so much from since I started playing.



How do you feel as a player coming from a proteam like ZeNEX and transitioning into a foreign team like Vile?

I am very very excited, at first nervous because I thought that the language barrier would be a big issue, and have difficulties feeling comfortable, but with team mates like vileDdoRo who helps me, and the team using easy to understand words, I feel at home.



That’s great to hear. So what made you decide to sign with Vile and what do you like most about them?

I became very familiar with Vile when I first came to North America Server and met DdoRo. We became very close friends and I would always run into a Vile Member in ladder and they were all very skilled. Naturally I became friends with everyone in the team. I liked how they were all very nice people and at the same time very skilled and practice hard. I enjoy my time with them so I decided to be teammates with them.



Awesome! So now that you’ve joined Vile, what would your fans be looking forward to?

The fans can expect great performances from me, whether it be tournaments or any type of competition. Fans can also see me practice while I stream and I hope that my fans will support me.



Very good, So as we close this off, Do you have any last shoutouts, and words for your fans. In English please :D

^^ Thank you all my fans, I love you all very much. Thank you very much Team Vile and all players, together, Vile Fighting! All my fans, please Cheer me~
