“Taiwan Zerg King” GamaniaSen, currently playing StarCraft-II for the GAMABEARS, one of the four professional e-Sports team in Taiwan, finished in 3rd place at the 2011 Battle.net Invitationals in the 2011 BlizzCon held October 21-22 in Anaheim, California, putting his nation and his team on the world map of StarCraft-II and e-Sports.

To thank his fans for their support, Sen is giving away a GAMABEARS T-shirt signed by famous SC-II players who attended BlizzCon on the GAMABEARS official Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/gamabears.fans


GamaniaSen’s third place finish in the Starcraft-II tournament at 2011 BlizzCon put his team GAMABEARS and his nation Taiwan on the world map of SC-II.

Thousands of fans either woke early or stayed up late to watch GamaniaSen play in the SC-II tournament at BlizzCon, as he made a great comeback in the consolation bracket after an unprecedented loss in the second round. GamaniaSen revived to the grand final as winner of the consolation bracket, and finished after Korean SC-II star players IMMVP and IMNesTea, to win third place and $10,000USD. Coincidentally, Sen had taken a photo with the same two players when they ran into each other prior to BlizzCon, and the photo had been predicted by fans on international forums to be the final winning lineup.

Sen’s final results at BlizzCon immediately made headline news on leading gaming websites in Taiwan as well as global SC-II forums, and some have coined him as the ‘Taiwan Pride’ of e-Sports.


Sen's appearance at the 2011 BlizzCon also put his team GAMBEARS on the world map of Starcraft-II.


Sen signs for fans in between his games at BlizzCon.

“This is the best score I’ve gotten yet in this tournament, as I finished in 8th place last year, so I am very glad to finish in third place!” said Sen. “I hope I will do better in more international tournaments coming soon, such as DreamHack in late November, and the World Cyber Games this December. My career goal is to win the championship at one of these international tournaments someday soon.”

Word has it that Sen is also on a roll to win the division title in the North American Starcraft League (NASL) Season 2 prelims; he is currently two wins away from claiming a seat to the (NASL) grand finals.

Sen humbly credited his triumph at BlizzCon to his e-Sports team, the GAMABEARS, for setting regular practice times, which allowed him more time to fine-tune his gaming skills than before. “More time to practice, about 5-10 hours a day, and also competing with other SC-II players in the Taiwan e-Sports League, as well as a little bit of luck, have helped me to win the third place title this time,” Sen said.

“Especially when I played two times against (Swedish Protoss player) NaNiwa, I was a little disappointed in myself when I lost the first time, but I told myself that it was only one match, and recovered quickly so I was in full throttle mode during the consolation bracket.” Sen added that when he faced NaNiwa again in the final round of the consolation bracket, he felt Lady Luck smiling down on him, and that when he felt he was sure to win, he even had his unit do a victory dance for self-amusement.

Sen remarked, “I am the top SC-II player in Taiwan now, but I hope that my performance this time has inspired other players in my country, and that they will improve quickly so they can join me in some international games, and we can show the world that Taiwan is also very strong in e-Sports.”

2011 BlizzCon SC-II Invitational Day One results: GamaniaSEn took down JazBas 2-1 in the first match, but then lost to NaNiWa 0-2, which sent him into the Consolation Bracket. However, this defeat did not cripple GamaniaSEn's confidence, as he has said in his previous interviews: "Just because you won the first game, there's never any guarantee you'll keep winning all the way. The important thing is to keep a cool head and do your best." And indeed he has! In the next match, GamaniaSEn faced Ret, who he would also play next in the NASL Season 2 prelims, and took him down 2-1. And in his last match of the day, GamaniaSEn shut out KiLLeR 2-0. You have to say, the Taiwan Zerg King is on a roll!

In his first match on Saturday, set to begin at 12:00pm (PST), GamaniaSEn will face old friend and foe SeleCT, and should he win, he will take on either NaNiWa or DIMAGA in the Consolation Final.

Will GamaniaSEn be able to secure a spot in the Grand Finals and put Taiwan on the world map of SC-II? Find out by staying tuned to the live stream on the 2011 BlizzCon official website and the Gama Bears official Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/gamabears.fans
