I though Deok had been part of the team house where that nasty scandal took place? More reason to be so happy to see him succeed. Wanted Nani to do well in WCS EU but if there was anyone with a lovely story in sc2 it is Deok.

Damn. That must've been traumatizing to say the least. That makes his story all the more inspiring.

I remember duckdeok/Finale in a few moments:

1 - the first time he played in GSTL against Bomber on Terminus RE..

2 - the time when he all-inned Dimaga twice

3 - the WCS EU S2 finals already mentioned in the OP

yup = that's duckdeok in short..

There was that little B-Teamer guy on MVP that never achieved anything in an individual league.. His play was the opener of the day (not quite sure, but I think it was) against non-other than Bomber himself..

I said then - man Bomber gonna own this guy.. And it was right the next few days after Khaydarin amulet was removed.. I seriously thought that Templars will almost never be used after the removal of that thing.. Like - maybe invest some of them home if you have extra gas or anything.. But did he prove me wrong that day.. I had the "satisfaction" to say the least to see Templars being viable even after the removal thing..

Finale was soo good at "estimating" when his Templars would reach enough energy so he would have at least 1 storm with it as the bio progresses.. I was totally amazed from that game..

Then something happened, and like - never saw Finale again in a competitive game (or I stopped watching GSTL or something).. For like 2 years didn't even hear his name.. Felt like - ahh, another bite the dust I guess, was overhyped for a bit.., now everyone else knows that Templar/Archon is still viable and good in PvT and they just do it better than him..

Then 2 years after he "knocked" on the EU door.. I was totally dissapointed TBH, thought that it's not him being good anymore, but his EU counterparts being unable to stop him.. I mean - that's like at least partially right, Dimaga totally threw off the game on Star-Station (the first - bigger Star-Station map).. And I was dissapointed.. Not cause duckdeok won, but more like cause Dimaga totally threw that game, and even more cause I really am a Dimaga fan..

That was the beginning of the whole thing I guess.. He got his chance and he won it.. Then everything else happened just like described in the OP - and as time progressed he even won the hearts of many, including even me (well, not more than JD that is.. )..

Hope that he at least shows some good plays.. and GGs

===============================================================
And the more I think the more I get the feeling that final 16 @ Blizzcon should've started with group play of 4x4.. Not because of the sake of more games (2 more per group precisely), but for the sake of giving a chance to those with a fairly unlucky draw to say the least..

duckdeok and JD being the first in this list..
Another world, another place, another universe, won the race.. :) ;) :P

Great article! Thank you, these introduction articles for Blizzcon are excellent, especially since I haven't been following WCS or the scene as closely as I have in years past. Looking forward to attending the event and reinvigorating my Starcraft passion!

Wow this guy is so likeable. This is so unexpected, I didn't expect the article about duckdeok being the best one among the 16 articles on the Blizzcon contestants.

This article is very well written and Duckdeok is a nice guy and definitely easy to root for compared to other koreans. But this article also showed me that he always kills the person I root for =______________=" Damn you Duckdeok...

I take credit for getting this guy into WCS EU.
At first he didn't even know how to register, then he registered incorrectly, then he had no flight tickets, then no hotel to stay in...
many a headache were had...
lol

Is there a possibility that you elaborate on this? Sounds like an interesting (and amusing, in perspective) story with a very happy ending.
