In a return to defend his Blizzcon title, sAviOr defeats Nada 2:0 to take home the Frostmourne and promises much more victories to come.
In a post-match interview with Nick 'Tasteless' Plott, the champion Ma 'sAviOr' Jae Yoon addressed the crowd in the best English that he had stating, "I will destroy everyone, okay? In 2009, thank you." This had triggered a chorus of cheers from the crowd as the 3 time MSL champion, and 1 time OSL title holder proudly displayed his English skills. In the crowd were many StarCraft fans as well as fellow team mate Greg 'IdrA' Fields, possibly a source of tips on English.
sAviOr reached out to his fans by stating that he plans to win big in 2009 and has breathed life back into the confidence in his fans and himself. Since the end of last year, sAviOr was in a downward spiral into a slump that many had thought he would not come out of. The Maestro fell short of a second OSL title, a 4th MSL title and was almost transparent in his ProLeague matches.
sAviOr's win over Nada ends a two day tournament where we saw a total of 30 games in 14 matches with sAviOr finishing with a perfect 8:0 record. A notable match was IdrA vs Hong 'Yellow' Jin Ho where IdrA took the match 2:0 scoring one match for the foreigners. IdrA would later be knocked out of the tournament in the Loser's bracket to Huh 'JangBi' Young Moo. The only other foreigner player to attend was Carlo 'Cloud' Giannacco who finished with a disappointing record of 0:4.
