Despite an amazing set of games against Min Chul "MC" Jang in the lower bracket final, Kang Ho "Losira" Hwang was unable to defeat the monstrous Terran player Moon "MMA" Sung Won.
Showing off his excellent use of marine drops in both game one and two, MMA made sure to always have a well worth amount of pressure on the Incredible Miracle player.
Losira against MMA in game 1.
Losira was almost able to take the second game on Metalopolis, with a baneling bust followed up by zerglings on the Terran expansion. This after having suffered severely by great early reaper harass. But as the siege mode upgrade finished and stim packs were injected into the marines the by SlayerS_BoxeR hand picked player held it off. Then after taking the gold expansion and with constant marine drops, Losira was torn down little by little.
Losira's baneling bust in game 2.
Victory for the Terran came when Losira made a decision to go all in with his banelings and zerglings into MMA's base instead of going back to defend the siege tank, marine and medivac attack after having lost his mutalisks.
- It hasn't really sunk in yet, but I'm really really happy, said MMA after the match. Hearing his name get chanted by the massive crowd surely gave him another boost or two.
MMA further said that he thought it was a miracle he was invited to MLG, and that if he gets an invitation for the next MLG he will be very happy.
