October 12, 2008 in News comments 5

Ma Jae-Yoon "sAviOr" defeated fellow Korean pro-gamer Lee Yun-Yeol "NaDa" in two sets to win BlizzCon's pro Starcraft tournament with a nice $25,000 prize.

On the Warcraft side, Park Jun "Lyn" defeated Spanish pro Pedro Duran "Lucifron" twice to come out of the lower bracket and claim the first place finish.

    Not surprised at all to be honest.

    They always rape at StarCraft - most other players don't even stand a chance.

      This was the first Blizzard tournament where a Korean lost to a foreigner. Greg Fields "IdrA" beat Hong Jin-Ho "YellOw" 2-0.

      The Koreans finishing 1st, 2nd and 3rd is no surprise of course but this is the first time we get to see two great commentators who make the matches that much more fun to watch.

    No surprises here. Starcraft is a way of life in Korea. I think they even have an official holiday for it.

    Uh, is this news?

    I think Koreans mention Starcraft in their national anthem.
