Once a year KeSPA hands out awards for the best of the best in Korea. This year Jaedong walks away with three awards.
Moon (MYM)
In Korea StarCraft is a national sport and pastime, so it only makes sense that there is a awards ceremony ever year for the top players. They hand out awards for the best of each race, best games of the year, best team of the year, and many others. Jaedong came out with the #1 spot this year, as well as best Zerg, and the best winning percentage. The young Zerg took the spotlight this time around, but heres a look at the other winners.

2007 officially over
Looking back at the year we saw some amazing things happen in the Korean SC scene. Savior was toppled from his high horse finally, Stork won the WCG only to come home to lose OSL, GSI and god knows that else, and we saw the youngest winner of a OSL ever. Now that the awards have been handed out we can reminisce about all those good times that we had! Make sure you check out the interviews at TL.net with Jaedong and Flash, they are very interesting.
