For the longest time it seemed that this year would be terrible for the Australian StarCraft BroodWar gamers. Due to lack of sponsors Australia was not able to send any players. But than they caught a big break.
At first only WarCraft III and Counter-Strike were able to receive sponsors and able to send gamers to the grand finals in
Singapore. StarCraft caught a break as they found a good sponsor that would enable them to send one gamer to Singapore to compete with the worlds finest.Trying to make his 4th appearance in the WCG grand finals,
Legionnaire made his presence felt as he played through the competition during the finals. Last year's WCG Australia winner, StarHunter, did not participate in this years national finals.Seven players took part in this historic event. Only one could make it to Singapore this November though.
