World Champion: OgOgO

[subject_wcg]Just a few minutes ago, the world champion in Starcraft: Brood War was announced. After a smashing best out of 3 in the Cyber Arena in Seoul, Korea, we can now confirm that Korea OgOgO won the finals, 2 games to 1, winning an sum of $20,000. He defeated Germany Fisheye[pG], who had only been beaten twice (1 game to OgerDaniel and 1 to Grrrr) in the tournament before this match. Fisheye can at least celebrate his 2nd place and the $10,000 he just won.

I am not sure how many attended at the Cyber Arena to watch the event live but the live stream was lagging and really overheated due to the massive number of viewers.

The first game was played on Gorky Island, Fisheye vs OgOgO. OgOgO went for fast expansions and mutalisks / scourges, but in the end got picked off by Fisheye who, with about 12 corsairs and 2 reavers killed OgOgO's expansion and the whole mutalisk army. One of the ending phases was a scarab from Fisheye, hitting OgOgO's escaping drone army and killing about all of it.

Between the games, Fisheye didn't show any emotions at all, this is what Christoffer Wack Stevens (the commentator) stated: "Fisheye looks to be in a meditative position now. Thinking through his strategy, he wants to do it flawless versus one of the best, maybe THE best zerg player from Korea"

The second game, played on Khoral of Ceres between Fisheye and OgOgO. OgOgO went for fast expansion, again, and Fisheye did a fast attack with vultures and some marines. OgOgO built some mutalisks and killed off his attack. Thereafter he harassed Fisheye's main until the end of it.

The third game, played on Dahlia of Jungle was very tense. OgOgO, again going for fast expansion. Fisheye this time went on the offensive with 2 zealots but never got as far as attacking. I'm not sure whether he saw OgOgO's expansion but anyhow, he didn't attack it even though it was undefended. Instead, fisheye himself expanded right below his main and went for tech. OgOgO built mutalisks and then combined it with lurkers. He harassed the Protoss's expansion, defended by a few cannons, with his mutalisks and lurkers but without any success. Fisheye was locked in with lurkers most of the game, therefore he did not manage to expand while OgOgO got one hell of an economy. Fisheye tried several dark templar drops but without any success.

Fisheye was also trying his luck in some attacks but their success was not great, as Christoffer stated: "Fisheye now saw the army of OgOgO and he is running to his base with his tail between the legs".

The final battle took place just outside Fisheye's bridges as he was trying to attack. OgOgO using cracklings, ultralisks, mutalisks and lurkers managed to kill Fisheye's big army and the game ended up with a GG, making the commentator, and the crowd, to go insane.

As the ceremony began, OgOgO started crying. The picture showed was his mother doing the same in the audience. Unfortunately the stream didn't give us any sound as Fisheye was talking, but I believe the questions were something like "How do you feel?" etc.

I will update my newspost as soon as I get my hands on those replays. Congratulations OgOgO!
