According to MeetYourMakers, the Korean progamer Freedom[KHAN] has decided to switch to StarCraft from WarCraft 3. Reason being losing the feeling for the game, and the discussed "map scandal" in MBC.
Players switching from StarCraft to WarCraft III was front page news a couple of years ago, but now the table seem to have turned. This time, a WarCraft III progamer in Korea has decided to switch back to StarCraft. The progamer is none other than Freedom[KHAN]. Freedom, who was a part of the "MBC map scandal" which took place a couple of months ago. In the famous Korean TV League - MBC, a map had been rigged in order to make the Orcs more powerful. Rumours has it that it was because of WarCraft 3 was going down due to the fact that it was always Night Elf versus Night Elf match-ups in the finals. So, in order to get some variation, the map was rigged [made the Orc stronger], and Freedom lost because of that.

Found no interest in WarCraft 3
When Freedom later found out about that, he had no longer any motivation or interest to play or practice WarCraft III anymore. Army at MeetYourMakers writes that even though his fans encouraged him to keep on playing, he never found his interest in WarCraft III again. This, combinied with the never-ending pressure on him, after beating Spirit_Moon in the OnGameNet 2004-2005 Individual Champion tournament, made him put WarCraft III on the shelf. However, he will not leave the Korean gaming scene.
Joins Samsung KHAN's StarCraft team
Instead, he will pick up the game StarCraft, and will still be a part of the team Samsung KHAN. MeetYourMakers write that Freedom just started StarCraft a couple of weeks ago, and is still only a beginner. Freedom is known for his high APM game style which also reminds the way of a StarCraft player.
In Samsung KHAN's WarCraft team, the only active player left is ReiGn[KHAN], and it will be interesting to see whether he stays put in KHAN, or if he moves to another team.
