This ‘All-Star Race Battle’ is taking place to carry on the upbeat atmosphere from the recent success of Winners League to the 4th round, and to relieve the thirst for games of e-sports fans during the downtime during post season.

And so, each pro team’s coaching staff, related personnel, and pro gamers have shown strong interest in this idea despite their full calendar with vacations and workshops, allowing for this dream match to become reality.

‘All-Star Race Battle’ will determine the best race in Starcraft with games between 4 players from each race with Terran vs Zerg, Zerg vs Protoss, and Protoss vs Terran.

For Terrans, there is ‘Ultimate Weapon’ Lee Young-Ho (Flash), ‘Miracle Boy’ Shin Sang-Moon (Leta), ‘Genius’ Lee Yoon-Yeol (NaDa), and ‘Sniper’ Jin Young-Soo (Hwasin) will play.

The Zergs will have ‘BonJwa’ Ma Jae-Yoon (SaviOr), ‘God of War’ Park Sung-Joon (JulyZerg), ‘Chance Park’ Park Chan-Soo (Yellow[arnc]), and Park Myung-Soo (Luxury). For Protoss, ‘Revolutionist’ Kim Taek-Yong (Bisu), ‘Monster’ Do Jae-Wook (Best), ‘Commander’ Song Byung-Goo (Stork), and ‘All-Mighty’ Huh Young-Moo (JangBi) will play.

‘All-Star Race Battle’ will air starting this Monday the 16th for 3 weeks every Monday at 6 pm at the Yong-San e-Sports Stadium and will be broadcasted through OnGameNet.

On the 16th, the game will start between Terran and Zerg, the 23th will follow with Zerg against Protoss, and the last match on the 30th will be Protoss versus Terran.

The maps will be from 9 maps from Pro League and Star League excluding Rush Hour 3. 2 additional maps will be removed by the starting players from both sides picking a map each.

Additionally, the 12 players will be given 200,000 Won for each appearance with an additional 200,000 Won for every win. In the event of an all-kill, there is an additional 200,000 Won for a total of 1,000,000 Won in prizes.
