He was formerly known as "Killer".
Biography[edit]
In Brood War, SangHo was on team eSTRO before being accused during the Match Fixing Scandal of 2010 where he was found innocent. However, the fact that he was accused combined with his father falling ill made him retire. He currently writes a column called "Sangho's Viewpoint" on dailyesports.[1]
Wings of Liberty[edit]
SangHo returned to progaming under the ID BabyByeBye when he qualified for the GOMTV GSL Open Season 2. He would win 2-1 against German TLO in the Round of 64 in his first televised match since retirement. He eventually reached the Round of 16 where he lost to MarineKing. After the season ended, he was invited along with 15 others to the GOM TV All-Stars Invitational 2010 where he was defeated by SlayerS_BoxeR 2-1. Despite failing to qualify for season 3, his placement would be enough to secure an A-Class spots for the GSL 2011 tournaments.
On February 18, 2012, he joined compLexity Gaming.[2] He then left on September 5,[3] and joined MVP on September 12, citing a desire to return to form.[4]
Code A[edit]
In the first tournament of 2011, Swagger would take out Gilja 2-1 but be defeated cleanly 0-2 by ByuN. Swagger managed to reach the Round of 8 in the second tournament of 2011 before being ousted by SuperNoVa. He would defeat Zenio 2-0 to secure Code S for the first time.

Code S[edit]
Swagger made a strong debut in GSL May where he would end up in the quarterfinals before being swept 0-3 by InCa. In GSL October, Swagger managed to barely make it out of his group with a score of 2-1, being the only Protoss player to make it out of the group stages of that GSL. This would not last long however, as he was eliminated 2-0 by CoCa in the following round, therefore ending all Protoss hope of that GSL.
In GSL November, Swagger was placed in group G for the Round of 32, where he displayed strong PvT. He scored 2-0 in his group by defeating jjakji and Virus. His next opponent was aLive in the Round of 16, who he lost to. He would then win the Loser's Match versus Happy and lose the final match to Oz. With the score of 1-2, he would fall down to the Round of 24 in Code A. There, he would make it into the Up and Down Matches and end up tied for fourth in his group, only beating MorroW.
