Beijing E-sports team has acquired Human player Myth. The Korean player joins a number of his countrymen, completing a very well-rounded 8-man team.
BeT now has two players to field for every race in their clan wars, an advantage few teams can claim.
Myth has been out of the scene for quite some time now due to military duties. He was considered among the top human players during Reign of Chaos, hailing from team Samsung KHAN, more well-known for their Starcraft team. Myth currently stands among the top rungs of the Asia Battle.net Ladder, a feat few can claim.
Myth’s re-entry to the pro-playing field could shake up some strategies. Hopefully he’ll use more than just tanks and towers.
SK Gaming are the new champions of the Warcraft 3 Champions League after defeating Meet Your Makers in last weekend’s LAN finals in Cologne. SK have waited ten long seasons for this victory.
It is surprising that despite having had superstars like Fredrik “MaDFroG” Johansson or Yoan “ToD” Merlo on the roster, SK hadn’t won a WC3L LAN finals before. The team won the second season of the competition, but it took place online entirely.
History was against SK, along with the fact that the twelfth season of the WC3L was arguably the toughest so far. But it was also one of the strongest lineups SK has ever seen and clearly the strongest one this season. Continued…
The Warcraft 3 Champions League XII Finals are upon us, and four teams will converge on Cologne tomorrow, Nov. 17, to battle it out. SK Gaming, World Elite, Beijing E-sports Team and MeetYourMakers all have their eye on the gold.
Who will win? We asked three Warcraft III experts for their opinions. Jos “Zerter” Buyvoets, Jason “Lee” Lee and Carlos “Boo” Armendariz weighed in.
Zerter, sometime GGL contributer :
SK > WE > MYM > BET sounds about right, though all the matches can go either way. It might be the other way around as well.
It’s hard to make predictions, really, because the reality is that three of the teams, aside from MYM, are untested in this kind of competition. And MYM is kind of untested as well, since they haven’t played against these teams, so there is no background to base any predictions on.
SK should definitely be the strongest tho, on paper at least. Lyn, Soju, Remind, Hot — that’s some scary sh*t. Continued…
SeeD of Imbalanced Video has just posted Imbalanced Episode 27, showcasing the online playoffs of the Warcraft 3 Champions League. A four way battle gets heated between Clan Go, BeT, SK and MouseSports, and only two can survive the fight and advance to the LAN finals.
Beijing eSports Team earned the status of a Warcraft 3 Champions League finalist after today’s victory over We are Go. This season in the WC3L will be dominated Asian players.
Today’s game was an all-Korean affair. With star players like Dae Hui “FoV” Cho, Chun “Sweet” Jung Hee, Hyung Ju “Check” Lee or Jang “WhO” Du Sub, BeT were the favorites. With Park Chul “Shy” Woo being their only star player, We are Go are a team of “the best Korean unknowns.” Continued…
SK Gaming’s Warcraft 3 team is the third team to qualify for the Warcraft 3 Champions League finals after today’s victory over Mousesports. They will be joining World Elite and Meet Your Makers at the finals in Cologne on November 17-18.
SK opened the game with a 2on2 win, when the ReMinD - SoJu duo beat SaSe and Fly100% with a 2-0 score. Lyn then defeated Yumiko without dropping a map.
Mouz had a glimmer of hope when HoT was tied with Fly100% and SoJu started out losing the first map to SaSe. The ESWC champion took two straight maps and made the overall score 3-0 in favor of SK.
The fourth participant of the WC3L LAN will be known tomorrow after the Beijing Esports Team plays We are Go for the last spot in the finals.
