On July 24th, at E-Stars Seoul 2009, Starcraft 2 will be playable for the first time in Korea. There will also be exhibition matches played by progamers, amongst whom Nada and Moon are featured. The article makes it ambiguous as to whether the two will play against each other, and to who the other progamers will be. In any case, it will definitely be interesting to see how two progamers with excellent mechanics will play the game.

Heard rumor on PGR21.com, confirmed at Joongang Ilbo.

*Update*
They've partnered with Gotfrag for videos in English, and they will also be showing games via Ongamenet, and Daum. They haven't specified what games they will show, but I assume that it's obvious SC2 will be included?

They both kick ass at what they do, but why those two individuals?

I know War3 hate is the norm here, but I am stoked to see what Moon will do in SC2. Moon's level of creativity is reminiscent of what made Boxer so well loved and fondly remembered.
