Kim Seongjae 1pEveryone heard about Han Sanghoon 2p but not many people heard about Kim Seongjae 1p – another rising star. Kim so far don’t show good result in international tournaments but in national his record is very good. His performance: GS Caltex League, 2 place in preliminary to Electron-Land Cup (lost to Han Sanghoon 2p) and today he advance to final of BC Card Cup by beating Park Junghwan 2p.
LG final started today. This is the most interesting final in last few years. It can be compare to 7th LG Cup in 2003 when Lee Sedol 9p won the title by beating Lee Changho 9p. After 7th LG Cup, Lee Sedol break two record: the youngest 9p (21) and fastest 9p from 1p (8 years). After 4 years Korea “produce” next master: Han Sanghoon 2p.
First time in Nongshim Cup history China team won a title. Everything thanks to Chang Hao 9p, who yesterday beat Lee Changho 9p. Before today game China team had two members and Korea only one – Park Yeonghun 9p, so China chance to win the title was huge.
