During WCG Korea 2004, Yong Wook lost 1-2 to Park Sung Jun (Julyzerg) but on Korhal of Ceres earned himself an unpimpest play award for preforming a proxy 2 gate zeal rush; only to trap his zealots in with his gates. This move, dubbed 'Kingdumb', has gone down in WCG and Starcraft history as one of the worst rushes ever preformed. Yong Wook was invited to participate in KT-KTF 2004 and preformed weakly, going 4-7 overall.
In You Are the Golf King MSL, Yong Wook would showcase another impressive performance. Notably against Kim Hwan Joong (Rage) on Arizona where he defeated a fully operational base with 2 dragoons (he had lost his main thanks to a zealot rush). This display of micro is one of the most impressive demonstrations of control recorded on T.V. and has been immortalized because of it. However, he did not go too far in the tournament losing in the Loser Bracket Ro8-2.
Yong Wook made appearances in Starleagues during 2005, but did not get out of the group stages. However, he did play a vital role in SK Telecom T1's 2005 Proleague victory. Aiding his team in winning both Round 1, Round 2 and the Grand Finals in 2005. He would also aid in the the 2006 Proleague Season 1 victory over MBCgame Hero.
Yong Wook also participated in both Pringles 1 and Pringles 2 MSL. In Pringles 1, he made an impressive showing; including a mind control rush against Park Jung Suk on 815 III, and demolishing old-time barrier Choi Yun Sung 2-1 and the Emperor himself- Lim Yo Hwan, on his way to the semi-finals. Despite losing to Kang Min (Nal_ra) 3-0, it was an impressive showing nonetheless. In Pringles 2 he again made an impressive showing. Against Lee Yoon Yeol on Blitz he showed some uncharacteristic insane macro, which completely destroyed his opponent. He eventually lost out to Shim So Myung (Silver) in the quarter finals.
Seeing as the game i wanted to show i couldnt find the full vod to; i've included the vod i was going to post tomorrow.
So, the first vod today is none other than Kingdom vs TheMarine @ Into The Darkness II from Spris MSL. This game made the pimpest play list for 2004 and thats the only way i could find the vod. So here is the pimpest play by Kingdom;
The other vod i've included is also a pimpest play (from 2006). This game shows off Kingdom's creative side (as did the other vod) and shows that even in more recent times Kingdom can still turn on an impressive display. Yes, i am talking about Kingdom vs Reach @ 815 III from Pingles 1 MSL.
