ViOlet wins XP League VI

Posted by Ghassen "MaelStroM" Soussi 6 months ago

Facing June 'Lyn' Park in the XP League season 6 final, the young talent Kim 'ViOlet' DongHwan established himself as the best in a hale and hearty way, pulling off the victory by a 3-1 score.

After taking down the league's top favorite Kim 'ReMinD' SungSik in the semis with a surprising three to nil score, the champion was not out of the woods yet since the brackets announced an impending clash with another sturdy opponent named 'Lyn'. Nevertheless, he pressed on with his series of victories to finally swipe the trophy.

Placing second in the last two editions of the event, 'Lyn' contented himself once again with the silver medal.

In the consolation final, Eom 'FoCuS' HyoSub made a quick work of his opponent 'ReMinD' with a fashionable 3-0 score, grabbing the bronze.

XP League Season 6 final standings:
* 1st place : Kim 'ViOlet' DongHwan - 1,200,000 KRW (~695 €)
* 2nd place : June 'Lyn' Park - 500,000 KRW (~290 €)
* 3rd place : Eom 'FoCuS' HyoSub - 200,000 KRW (~115 €)
* 4th place : Kim 'ReMinD' SungSik - 100,000 KRW (~60 €)

N.B. The first three players are automatically seeded in next season's Ro16.

Woo go ViOlet number 1 ;)
Orc isn't imba, ud players just aren't as good. Plain and simple.
TeD and Happy are the only good ud pros yet you see recently they have retired themselves in hiding since their losing to every race. As for Korean... All Korean top pros are Orc, so how do you expect a different race to win Korean leagues? Remind Shy Space are good but come on... Of those three only Remind can be considered a contender if he plays awesome.

#7 what? every other match up is balanced, the most diverse 1 is 46% VS 54%, yet when its ud vs orc its 40% vs 60%, also ud players are not worse than orc players, they are just as good, ted don't have any trouble taking down sky or moon, does that mean sky and moon are not as good as the orc players? Now koreans, most koreans are NE or UD, lyn, who, focus are the ONLY 3 top korean orcs. Moon, Remind, shy, soccer, check, seems theres more than 3, at korea's strongest time the UDs reign surpreme to all koreans other than moon, now all the top uds retired because of orcs. WTF ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

Unfortunately, another XP league won't be held in Korea anymore. In spite of administrators's effort for the next league, no other financially sound firms will be sponsoring the following XP league 7. Until now, all the XP leagues were managed by receiving financial assistance from a few individual support and administrators's own money. And it was very small amount of money to manage each League. Further more, a main administrator(DJ Jyu-Panda;his ID: Junior) is having economic difficulties to offer prizes for a next season.
In this reason, he posted a notice on his blog(http://cafe.naver.com/a1tv.cafe?iframe_url=/ArticleRead.nhn%3Farticleid=5325) that from now on he'll stop running any XP leagues. So the XP league 6 was in effect the last XP league.
Many War3 fans in Korea and I just hope some Korean companies to participate in the Korea War 3 leagues such as NICEGAME TV League, Warcraft 3 World War League and XP League as official sponsors so that we can watch official War 3 leagues!!!
