The STX Soul team took the KyungNam-STX Masters Cup title two consecutive times yesterday
On August 19th, at the MaSan gymnasium KyungNam-STX Masters Cup 2008 finals, STX Soul beat MBC Game 4 to 3.
The games were very close as they left you not knowing who would win until the very last match. STX started with JulyZerg, it was nonstop aggression as JaeHoon finally gave in. However on the 2nd set a much upgraded TheZerg brought the momentum back to MBC Game’s side.
TheZerg beat JulyZerg with zerglings and subsequently took down STX’s terran ace Hwasin changing the tide of the war in favor of the MBC Game team.
Next match being Kal vs. TheZerg, Kal took full advantage of his guerrilla warfare specialty, and with good sense tied the game, soon afterwards facing Pusan on the 5th set with awesome usage of dark templars resulted in bringing Pusan to his knees. Making the score 3-2 for STX.
Backed into a wall MBC Game used the Sea ace card against Kal, not letting the team down by beating Kal with establishing a good position at the center. Now the score being 3-3 the fate of both teams relied on the very last set. STX’s closer card was Calm.
Calm with his awesome display of mutalisk control made a smooth transition on to guardians to go in for the final kill leaving a big exclamation mark winning the final set.
With the win STX took home the trophy with $20,000 in their pockets. 2nd place MBC Game received $10,000, 3rd placed SKT1 received $5,000, 4th place Samsung Khan took home $3,000.
