Lee “Jaedong” Jae Dong (what an original handle) has advanced to the StarCraft Ever Ongamenet Starleague Finals.
He took out his opponent Shin “Upmagic” Hee Seung, 3-0 in the best of five semi final matchup to secure his spot. This was a very important match for both players - not only for a spot in the finals, but due to the rivalry they share. Both players attended the same high school, becoming the best Brood War players before being drafted to their respective professional teams. This “straight ouf of Hollywood” scenario had Jaedong as a favorite to win and he certainly lived up to that expectation.
The second semi final between Kim “Bisu” Taek Yong and Song “Stork” Byung Goo will take place Dec. 14, with the winner challenging Jaedong in the finals on Saturday. Dec 22.
