Kim Dong-Soo is a 31 year old former professional StarCraft player from South Korea who played under the alias Garimto.[1] He served in the South Korean Army and is now a commentator.
He is one of only six players to win the OSL twice, Garimto, and was nicknamed "The Zealot",[1] and was notable for succeeding even during Boxer's height of dominance. He also innovated heavily with Protoss build-orders, making frequent use of "hidden" tech buildings and other tricks. Garimto had to quit SC in order to do his Korean military service, but now regularly acts as a commentator for games. In his commentary he is known for criticizing current Protoss players for playing sloppily and hence not achieving the potential of the race. Garimto completed his military service on December 21, 2006 and has rejoined the e-sports competition as part of KTF. After never recovering to his legendary progaming status, he retired from professional gaming after playing only one game, a loss to Free during the 2nd half of Shinhan Proleague 2007.[1] He was recently seen as a commentator in the Gomtv Star Invitational.
Currently as of September 2010, he is now playing as a pro gamer in StarCraft 2 in the team Meet your Makers (MyM).
