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:

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.

:D I am so happy for First. During the TSL4 and the Summer MLGs, he looked like someone destined to become an amazing player. After only half a year of playing SC2 fulltime, he was already able to put up a fight against many of the strongest players in the world, but having trouble in PvZ, as well as lacking experience. Now, after a year of fulltime SC2, he finally grabs that major tournament win.

Counting the qualifier, his final mapscore for this event was 27-3, giving him a staggering 88,88% winrate.

Yeah I first (lol) really noticed him during TSL 4 and knew that he'd be a big SC2 talent. Now Yonghwa needs to hurry up and win something so the big 3 IM Tosses can all have premier tournament wins to their names xD

No comments on his fan club after his sick GSTL performance?

Short summaries:

Game 1 - LG-IM.First vs. MVP.KeeN
Unbelievable game. Go watch the game right now, almost 100% of the views recommend it. It is truly fantastic.
+ Show Spoiler +
Both display an incredibly high level TvP game. KeeN starts off with an early third command center which First scouts rather late, so KeeN takes the economic lead and supply lead. Up by about 30 supply, KeeN attacks First but KeeN has no Ghosts. Meanwhile, First goes for his typical PvT style: he goes for one Colossus without range and makes a bunch of High Templars with Storm. First manages to fend off the first attack by KeeN, but he is still behind.

Then, First moves out on the map and begins his Zealot runbys. However, he chose the wrong time to move out, for KeeN is suddenly at First's natural and First's army is nowhere! It turns into an elimination race as First moves towards KeeN's 3rd base and takes it out, while KeeN takes out First's main and natural. However, First's 4th base is unscouted by KeeN. First turns around and repels KeeN's army.

Suddenly, KeeN has the much larger army but First has two mining bases (his 3rd + 4th) compared to the one mining base of KeeN. KeeN goes for the kill, but First barely manages to deflect KeeN's army with insane army control. First has to rebuild all of his production and tech, so there is a period where he is very vulnerable without Templar tech. KeeN even drops into First's 4th (which is pretty much his main now), and KeeN takes out many buildings including the Robotics (Observers are crucial for spotting Ghosts) and the Templar Archives. With good Storms, however, First holds his own against KeeN's army and the superior production off 2 bases starts to increase First's army in relation to KeeN's.

KeeN lifts off a Command Center and takes his 4th, but a Zealot runby kills many SCVs and First pulls way ahead in economy. Suddenly, First starts moving out and casts many great Storms. First's army is much bigger at this point and KeeN is forced to GG.

Game 2 - LG-IM.First vs. MVP.NAKSEO
Sloppy play by both sides, but still entertaining.
+ Show Spoiler +
First takes a risky third base with almost no units, while NAKSEO goes for a large Roach/Ling attack. First misreads the situation, and does not make enough units despite having the infrastructure. Then, First moves out of his natural and his first seven Sentries are surrounded by Zerglings and killed. The situation is dire for First.

NAKSEO inexplicably tries to break First's natural instead of killing First's third, and with good Blink micro, Force Fields, Photon Overcharge, and Cannons, First defends. NAKSEO keeps on the attack, mixing in huge numbers of Hydralisks. First is in lots of trouble, he has no Colossi or any good tech! He merely has tons of Gateways.

NAKSEO pokes at First's natural and then attacks First's third base. First moves out with a large Blink Stalker army... NAKSEO moves all of his Roaches and Lings into the mineral line of First, and First Force Fields them off, leaving the Hydralisks exposed. Big mistake, for First's Stalkers pick off the Hydralisks and First holds his third base! First is in a huge lead now, having defended his risky third.

NAKSEO mixes in Infestors... First simply adds in a huge number of Blink Stalkers while switching into Colossi. Once First has four Colossi, First moves out and NAKSEO's army melts.

Game 3 - LG-IM.First vs. MVP.Dream
Mistakes from First were game-ending.
+ Show Spoiler +
Dream starts off with an economic lead due to an Engineering Bay block on First's natural. First attempts to take a third base but Dream's drop forces a cancel. Then, Dream starts dropping everywhere, and the turning point is when one of First's Colossi is caught out of position and destroyed. Then, Dream's drops simply overwhelm First.

This kid is so smart, his play is absolutely amazing to watch when he makes everything go his way. Polt controlled really well in those games and did his best to gain advantage, but First was always a step or two ahead.

Ah well, top 4 finish is still really good. 10k and 1500 WCS points, not too bad.

This should also be enough to put him in next month's power rank. :p
