I deleted a number of comments that could have been percieved as non-objective, the article should meet the "neutral" guidelines now.

As far as notability goes. Dae Hui Cho is a professional athlete, coming from a country that recognizes gaming as a sport.

He is one of the world's leading warcraft 3 players, the second biggest competitive game on a global level. He represented his country (South-Korea), which is widely recognized as the world's leading competitive gaming country, at international events more then any other Korean player.

Winning national qualifiers for some of the world's most recognized gaming tournaments, he has attended the Electronic Sports World Cup (currently hosting preliminaries in over 50 countries and with a prize purse of 400,000$ dollar) every edition since July 2004. He also represented his country at the world's leading gaming tournament, the World Cyber Games in 2005. Making him the player having represented the world's leading competitive gaming country the most (various events from 2004 to 2006) as well as the only one to have represented South-Korea at various of the world's leading gaming tournaments.

For comparison, the runner-up Korean professional gamers have only represented their country at events of this scale in a period of two years in a row (2001-2002 Lim "Boxer" Yo-Hwan, 2005-2006 Lee Sung “SoJu” Duk, 2005-2006 Kyung "SelecT" Hyun Ryoo) and none of them at more then one event.

He was also one of the keyplayers of the 2005's eSport team of the year, the warcraft 3 division of the professional gaming team Four Kings. http://www.sk-gaming.com/scene/8486/

He has played dozens of televised games in his career, and has made numerous interviews. He certainly has seen his share of media attention, both in traditional and electronic media.

For some of these interviews I reffer to the links currently provided in the main article,
