Long time KeSPA rankings' number one, JaeDong, is the new world champion of Starcraft. With seven major gold medals on his record, he can now add his first WCG medal to his collection, and it's a golden one. JaeDong participated in WCG 2008 as well, but had to leave the playoffs early, losing 1-2 in the round of eight to none other than Stork. Urging for revenge, he managed to take down the BirdToss Stork, who had to accept another silver on his shelf.

The first game on Tau Cross seemed to be going in Stork's direction, but Jaedong somehow managed to turn it around and dominate the game in the end. Stork came back winning the second game, and it all came down to the third and last game.
