In a best of five set, Jae-Dong “JaeDong” Lee defeated Ku Hyun “Kal” Kim taking the StarCraft MSL Season 4 championship.
The set went to four games, with JaeDong losing the first map but taking the following three in powerful fashion. JaeDong potentially could have lost this set, with the Protoss versus Zerg matchup being one of his weaker ones, but he proved that conclusion wrong.
After losing Blue Storm, he defeated Kal on Katrina, a more Protoss favored map. The game was close, but a poor decision by Kal cost him his main base, while JaeDong suffered little damage. Kal soon conceded, the match reaching a tie.
Zodiac and Loki were far more one-sided games. JaeDong showed little weakness and pressured Kal in both matches, quickly shutting him down to go home and continue his reign as the top Zerg player in the world.
JaeDong now holds titles for each of the major proleagues in Korea: He is an MSL champion, an OSL champion, and his team won the most recent Proleague finals.
