A little unlucky, but solid play overall and I really liked the risky 6 pool even though it didn't work. Keep it up!

A bit of my Moon story. I went to WCG 2008 in Cologne and was happy that Grubby and Moon were in different sides of the tournament brackets because this meant it was possible to have them clash in the finals.

AND IT HAPPENED!!! They actually both killed each their side of the bracket and now were destined to fight in the finals. In the first game, Grubby applied some pressure and used Raiders to kill some of Moon's moonwells, but moon stroke back and killed Grubby. However Grubby took the next game so it was 1-1 and the next game would decide if Moon can get his first ever WCG title.

It was an insane game. Grubby's Blademaster went dont to just 2 HP before he went into windwalk. But Grubby was unstoppable, even his Tauren Chieftain got level 6. He left Moon shattered and in tears. This was especially heartbreaking as they were in the same team (Meet your Makers) at that time.

The micro, guys, the micro. I saw it. Moon has it.

At WCG 2009, which I saw only via stream, a german player (Sokol) pulled off a weird strategy versus Moon: He bugged his Blademaster into Moon's base which was walled off, but Moon did not shake and used his Daemon Hunter to bring the pain back to the Orc.

Now that Moon transitioned to Starcraft, he needed some time to adapt; but since he is 1) Moon and 2) picked zerg, I cheer for him.

Unlucky in the last game of finals, Huk scouted in right direction, otherwise early pool would do massive demage and the game could look completly different. GZ on 2nd place tho!

Could've sworn I posted here before, apparently not? But yeah, sign me up!

I've noticed Moon has been so underrated for a long time now, people talk of him as if he's crap, even though he's done so well in international tournaments (2nd IEM, 8th MLG, topped his division in NASL). He's only ever really disappointed in the GSL.

Moon isn't the best Zerg out there (yet), but since MLG, I've noticed, he's definitely the most entertaining - July used to be my favorite to watch for his wild ZvT, but Moon seems to have a crazy playstyle for every matchup! Given more time, this guy definitely has the potential to be the best. As expected of the 5th race, I suppose.

A little disappointed he lost the DH finals due to 2 consecutive all-ins, since I feel he'd take Huk out in a macro game anyway, but... more chances will come. Really hope he comes to MLG Anaheim, since he'd be in the Pool play it'd be an easy route to Code A, if he still needed it.

A bit of a shame on the bad luck with the 6pool! But a 2nd place is still very strong considering the players he beat, just a shame not too many in Korea will recognise it as it seems that they care more about titles than 2nd places. :s

Would've been insane if he went for his Night Elf style mass expand on Tal'Darim, probably the most awesome tactic ever and gives awesome games all the time (vs Bomber, and TARSON HOLDS!!1!oneone!)

Unlucky in every finals I've seen him play (in SC2). The crowd helped Ace at IEM and DHS11 finals game 4 and 5??

Anyways, when he lays WC3 on the shelf I'm sure he will be the best SC2 player out there. Called it.
