Biography
First was originally a Brood War progamer, who played for KT Rolster in the Proleague, using the ID Anyppi. With the change from a Bo7 format to a Bo5 format, he found that he would no longer get much playtime in the Proleague, and together with fellow teammates Perfective and Suny, he decided to retire in January of 2012. While his two teammates chose to enter the military, First instead decided he would try his luck at Starcraft 2. A few months later, First resurfaced with his new ID as a member of the team Incredible Miracle.

After almost 2 years with Incredible Miracle, First left the team on the 31st December 2013, and has remained without a team during the last months. On August 29 2014 First finally joined a team, joining team TCM.

I decided to post this instead of continueing to edit it in previews, which I find absolutely nervewracking. I will add pictures and possibly other things later.

Wait, how did this guy not have a fanclub before? Shit, this had to be rectified. Sign me up!

Also, I'll be happy to help you looking for pictures or anything. No offense intended, but I find this needs a little fleshing out; but I'm sure you're on it.

My primary issue with pictures is not as much finding them, as it is deciding which are good, and thinking out a way to sort them. :/ I could link every single picture I could find, but 100+ pictures in a large pile is a fairly pointless thing, hence why I am delaying it slightly. I may end up just picking the best ones and add them, and sort them based on the tournament/event.

And yeah, I am not finished with the OP yet, but decided to post as it is regardless. I prefer having it posted instead of working for a few days on an unposted thread, and I do think it's already very presentable, better than a lot of other fan clubs already. >_>

You know, I have to ask: do you keep track of how many fanclubs you're a member in? I think I'm in quite a few, but I think I've barely broken 20. You must be in the 100s by now, man D:

How many fan clubs I'm a member of? I'm not a member of a lot to be honest. I only own a lot.

Updated his upcoming games, he's been seeded into group D at MLG Dallas. The lack of zergs is quite fortunate, but we'll have to wait and see who makes it out of the open bracket. For now, this group looks like a really good group for him.

First cleared his IEM Katowice group 10-1, only dropping a single map to Golden, taking a strong first place finish, with the best mapscore out of every player at the event!
