This is the third in my series of mini bios. I’ve talk about Terran player Mong and Zerg play Larva. Now it is time to write a mini bio about miniest Protoss on the scene:
Mini is one of the lesser known Brood War players to come from the KESPA teams. In games played before the Sonic Era, Mini had a mediocre record of 28-38. At a certain point, it didn’t matter if Mini had a poor record, STX Soul was short on Protoss consistent players. Even with the bo5, Kal, Shuttle, or Mini were going to be needed to fill the lineup. The need for a Protoss is what lead to 29 team league games played in just two years. Sure Mini did not become a household name in 2010, but he has been here quietly on the scene.
Proleague Games against Current Sonic Players
Mini plays SC2
Mini plays a year of SC2 with STX soul during 2013. With a record of 10-2, Mini performed quite well and his team won the proleague championships. Unfortunately, a month later the team would disband.
The Soul players Dear, Classic, Mini, Trap, and Size had participated in the 'posting' process (a draft/auction to the remaining KeSPA teams) in secret on the 28th of August, with INnoVation opting out due to joining team Acer. Only Classic was able to join a KeSPA team through posting, joining SK Telecom T1.
Mini returns to Brood War
So what’s the scoop on this mini these days? Well, Mini has been making some pretty good showings in tournaments and also streams on Afreeca. My favorite part about mini is he’s young and shows a lot of promise. Lacking coaches to grow his skill, he’s still competing well at 20 years of age. Specifically, born on January 28th, 1994. With less then a year since his switch back, these are his latest results:
Mini has gone 11-12 in team leagues so far, taking down top Terran players Sea and sSak, the beloved larva, and top Zerg Killer. In individual leagues, Mini has gone 12-15. His most notable finish was in the toughest Sonic tournament yet, the SSL9. Mini overcomes ex-Teammate Shuttle and veteran player Zeus to adavance to the round of 16. Then he goes undefeated in a group with PianO, Larva, and JangBi! Mini fought his way to the round of 8 where only then did he meet the treachery of Kwanro’s incredibly cheese zerg play.

Mini is young, personable, and an incredible starcraft player. He will be the future of strong protoss players as long as he remains on the scene. So if you are looking for a new protoss to cheer for, Mini is you best bet.
