Moon, who has a longer merit list than the most, has yet to accomplish a World Cyber Games title. Ending in third place 2007, and second in 2008, Moon is surely gunning for the gold this year.

In a classic Night Elf mirror game, Moon showed that despite it being his worst matchup, he is the stronger of the two WeMade Fox players.

Winning quite an easy first game on Turtle Rock, Moon suffered defeat in the second game, on Melting Valley. Soccer was able to come out from a terrible position after getting his Naga Sea Witch slain three times. Add to that a demolished expansion by a Goblin sapper.

But the newly made super-pro managed to stand strong in several battles, as well as dinging level 6 on his Demon Hunter earlier than Moon. After several fierce battles, Soccer claimed victory with his healing spraying Alchemist.

The third and last game was played out on Echo Isle, where Moon's key to victory was the classic Ancient of War rush. The "fifth race" was able to raze Soccer's expansion which Soccer failed to do in the start of the game. As the battle continued, Soccer was slightly ahead in units, but Moon's better economy with an additional expansion made sure he could fill up with more units to conquer the game.

Earlier today, we also saw Kim Sun "ReMinD" Sik defeat Si Young "Yange" Kim. Other players who have qualified for the next round are Jin Woo "WinNers" Kim and Min Hyuk "MinHyuk" Jo.
