Always the same faces in WCS Europe Round of 8? Well, that’s actually partially true because some players like Jang ‚MC‘ Min Chul and Mun ‚MMA‘ Seong Won really have been around for a long time – but there are some new faces as well this season. Weiterlesen
Lee ‚Jaedong‘ Jae Dong has just won the World E-sport Championships 2014. Besides a prize money of about 25.000 dollar it’s his most prestigious title in Starcraft 2 yet – though the competition wasn’t as hard as you might imagine. Weiterlesen
Gerzegorz ‚MaNa‘ Komincz is the best european player. It’s safe to say that because on the weekend he won a tournament titled „Who’s the best european?“ It’s obviously something to make fun off, especially since Jens ‚Snute‘ Aasgaard and Patrick ‚Bunny‘ Brix couldn’t attend, but nevertheless it made him 2.500 dollar richer.

Lee ‚Flash‘ Young Ho has won his first major title in Starcraft 2 after two long years of trying: He dominated at Intel Extreme Masters Toronto this weekend, leaving his teammate Joo ‚Zest‘ Sung Wook without a chance in the finals. Other high ranked players disappointed. Weiterlesen

It might seem unreal but Patrick ‚Bunny‘ Brix really won the Gfinity G3 yesterday – as a foreigner. The last non-Korean to win such a precious tournament was Jens ‚Snute‘ Aasgaard at the HomeStory Cup VI. It was in December 2012. Weiterlesen

What a group to start WCS Europe Round of 16 with: Former champions MMA and Mvp will face Spanish top-player Vortix and the danish Bunny in group A.

But only two will advance to the quarter-finals, whereas the other two will be able to console themselves with $3.000.

 [bunny] Name: Patrick Brix Age: 21 Race: Terran WCS Map Record: 8-4 World Rank: 73 Community Rank: 97 [bunny] is the only player in this group that had to play the Challenger League to get here. Just being in Ro16 though is the best effort the Danish has ever shown in WCS so far. Last season he was in a group with [vortix] in Ro32 but they didn’t play each other. Bunnys weakness: Korean Terrans. In his past two seasons [forgg] knocked him out twice. Hopefully this is no curse… |
 [mma] Name: Mun Seong Won Age: 25 Race: Terran WCS Map Record: 5-3 World Rank: 13 Community Rank: 16 [mma] is the defending champion of WCS Europe, but he struggled in Ro32. [welmu] defeated the Korean in the Winner Bracket Final, so he had to play a set of three maps against [starbuck] to advance. It’s hard to say how good MMA is in shape: At Warer.com Invitational he lost to another Korean Terran, [taeja] and at the weekend he was beaten by [vortix] in the Vasacast Invitational. |
 [mvp] Name: Jung Jong Hyun Age: 23 Race: Terran WCS Map Record: 4-0 World Rank: 12 Community Rank: 9 [mvp] won WCS Europe back in Season 1 of 2013 but his results declined afterwards from #9 in Season 2 to #17 in Season 3. However he is unbeaten this season though [firecake] and [snute] weren’t the hardest opponents in Ro32. Mvp hasn’t finished a tournament since his appearance at IEM Singapore in December and only played two maps in Proleague so it will be interesting to see how he performs today. |
 [vortix] Name: Juan Moreno Duran Age: 20 Race: Zerg WCS Map Record: 4-2 World Rank: 35 Community Rank: 64 [vortix] is in great shape: The Spanish recently won the Vasacast Invitational beating three Terrans ([select], [mma] and [jjakji]) on the way and also dominated ESL Spain Season 11 not losing a single map during the tournament. Last season he was third in WCS Europe, so advancing to the quarter-finals today might sound like a piece of cake for Vortix. |
