We are vey proud to welcome Sung Jun “July” Park and Ji Sung “Bomber” Choi from Team StarTale to the DreamHack & Telia booth at Gamex. Gamex is a Swedish games exhibition at Kistamässan, Stockholm, 3-6 of November (please notice this is not DreamHack Winter 2011). Presented By BenQ the two programers July and Bomber from StarTale will meet the Swedish fans and play a show match against each other on the DreamHack Telia stage.
Friday 4 November CET - 11:00:00 - BenQ Presents - StarTale Progamers Meet and Greet - July & Bomber CET - 12:00:00 - BenQ Show match - StarCraft II - July vs. Bomber - BO3
July emerged onto the scene after beating Oov in the Gillette OSL as a StarCraft I pro-gamer. He quickly became a dominant player for his aggressive style and unmatchable expertise in Mutalisk micro. This earned him the nickname “Tushin” or “God of War” and he was one of the most famous Zerg players in the StarCraft scene. He was the first Zerg player to win three OSL titles, which attained him a prestigious Golden Mouse award in July 2008. July is now an active pro gamer in StarCraft II as a member of StarTale. His most recent achievements including winning Clash of the Houses and taking second place in the Global StarCraft II League March.
Bomber is a former Brood War player that burst on the Korean StarCraft II scene in 2010. Playing for the StarTale team, Bomber quickly made his mark by placing second in the Danawa Ygosu Invitational in December 2010 and proceeding to win the SK Gaming Asia Champions Trophy Match in March 2011. He proved himself internationally with a third place finish at DreamHack Summer 2011. Now, in GSL’s Code S division, he is one of the best Terran players and has the potential to rise to the top. An expert in TvT and TvP battles, Bomber’s viewers are always impressed by his powerful mechanics – especially his unflinching macro skills – that overwhelm even the most experienced opponents. With these skills, the pro gaming world dare not look away as Bomber continues pushing himself to become a champion.
SWEET, this is only 5 minutes walk away from where I live. Will be there for sure. Talked to Bomber @ DH Summer and he seemed like a really cool guy. :D
Amazing! The only problem could be that it's a Bo3, will we see some friendly fan-pleasing matches like MVP vs NesTea? idk. Anyone who is going is damn lucky!

I'd love to know if there's any information at all about this. Cause I'd really want to meet bomber since I'm a huge fan, but I live kinda far from stockholm, and I'm going to Dreamhack to watch the tournament anyway so...

What? Since when?
July's retiring in one year at the very latest, I think. Needs to do military service. (He announced this at the last group selections.)

Since someone decided to make a misleading, uninformed thread that's stayed on page 1 of the SC2 General Forum for a day now. (He's retiring sometime within a year, not within this Calendar year).
On topic, I hope this means they're going to Dreamhack Winter as well, even though the first post clearly states it's not related.
Important to note is that ThorZaIN along with MorroW will be playing against July and Bomber, both in 2v2s and 1v1s! Essentially that means Sweden/Foreigners and Mousesports vs Korea and Startale! Source

So sad... I wish he could have won a GSL this year.. even though he may not deserve one yet.
