Recap
+ Show Spoiler [Recap] +
Sound the alarm! The sixteenth TL Open gave us further evidence that MLG syndrome is spreading amongst Korean pro-gamers.
Though many big names such as Catz and Moonan competed in the tournament, it was a last minute sign up -- the relatively unknown Korean protoss player MVP_HwangSin who took the first place prize of $100. Not bad for a night's work, though he must have been feeling quite tired by the end (the games ended around 7AM Korean time).
HwangSin tore through his bracket with blazing speed, winning most of his games with perfectly calibrated timing attacks. This trend continued through the finals, where he decisively defeated the recently impressive sixjaxMajor with three such timing attacks. Though the victories looked almost casual, there may have been more to the games than what we saw on the surface as HwangSin complimented Major's skill afterwards.
With TLOpens now open to players from any region, the international community will have to be prepared for a wave of Koreans seeking to win fame and fortune outside their homeland.
