June “Lyn” Park lived up to the role of the favorite in the Extreme Masters LA tournament and defeated JaeWook “Lucifer” Noh in the final. By doing so, he became the first Orc player to win a major international title this year.
Given the strength of Lyn as a player, it may come as a surprise that this is only his second LAN title, the first one being the KeSPA Cup. Incidentally, Lyn also beat Lucifer to win that one.
The tournament was dominated by Korean players from the very beginning. The top four was taken by Lyn and the Meet Your Makers trio, Lucifer, FoCuS and Susiria. The highest ranked non-Korean was the German player hanf - in theory the weakest among those that made it to the playoffs.
Lyn and Lucifer will be the only non-European attendees of the Extreme Masters II tournament in Germany.
