I have very high expectations on Woongjin Aria who won INnoVation in his 1st HotS SPL match and who also defeated Mvp and MC in the offline event.
http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/IeSF_2012_World_Championship/Qualifiers/South_Korea

Aria never won against Innovation in HotS. In fact they did not even play each other in HotS afaik. Aria won against him in that 4-0 sweep from Woongjin in Round 3 (still WoL).

Yeah it was WoL I checked now but it was a very cool WoL macro game

I got that it was cool from interview, since it mentioned cannons in the middle of map and nukes :D
Also, what, entombed valley was still used in the end of WoL? WHAT THE HELL IS THIS STALEMAP.

Really heartwarming story, made even better by the kid's awesome reaction in the picture. I agree, we need more stories like this, less doomsday and more things that actually inspire hope and evoke joy and happiness.

Love to see runs like this. So many tournaments favour higher seeded players so much it's next to impossible for unknowns to make it.

WCG might not be that relevant anymore but other tournaments can learn a lot from this kind of story.

Great article! Reading a story like this is just one of the reasons that I LOVE this game! Thanks for putting the spotlight on this truly epic tournament run, I hadn't even heard of this before reading the article. I'll definitely be watching Sora's debut with great interest.
StarCraft is the hardest, most beautiful game in the world.

Oh I hope this guy keeps improving and win something, I am kinda tired of good Protoss to reach quarter or semis (even on finals) and suddenly move their colossi outside without support or go for some weird base trade, or simply throw the game for no reason -_-U

I had faith on Rain and HerO last time and it was horrible >_<
