6 February, Kang Dongyun 9p beat Lee Sedol 9p in 5th and last game of Chunwon final. In last 2 months situation was really bad. Kang Dangyun lost huge number of game to Lee Sedol, lost chance to be Myeongin and was in situation when only one win for Lee Sedol would give him Chunwon title. Before last two games he also lost to Lee Changho 9p in KBS Cup so prognoses weren’t so good for him, but he did it. From now he beat both Lee Changho and Lee Sedol in important finals and become (for now) number 3 in Korea.
