oGsMC the best Starcraft 2 player wins Dreamhack Invitational in Sweden. This is the first time oGsMC traveled outside of Korea for Starcraft 2 competition as most of his international tournaments were played through Starcraft 2 online game battle.net before this. Dreamhack Invitational is hosted at Sweden the homegrown for LiquidTLO, Sjow and Mouz_Morrow. It is their pride to defend at their homeground.
Dreamhack Invitational is an invited tournament for 8 best players around the world for each races hosted in Sweden. The invitees lists includes, LiquidHuk, LiquidJinro, LiquidTLO, EGIdra, Mouz_Morrow, Sjow, oGsMC and Whitera /DuckloadRa. oGsMC was the only Korean professional Starcraft 2 player invited to this tournament. Slayers_Boxer was one of the invited player for Dreamhack Invitational. Due to Boxer's sudden health sickness, his spot was finally given to another Terran player, Sjow who was a previous tournament champion.
The battle of the top 8 best players from Europe, US and the Korean servers were very interesting and exciting. Team Liquid members including LiquidJinro, LiquidHuk and LiquidTLO continued to performed poorly in major tournaments. It seems that Team Liquid is under some sort of curse lately as most of their players failed to show their true skills potentials. There is no denying that Team Liquid is one of the best foreign team out there.
oGsMC managed to take down MouzMorrow, EG Idra and finally facing another top European Protoss player, DuckloadRa or often known as Whitera. In the oGsMC against EgIdra match, EG_Idra seems to be falling apart after their first game, where MC managed to clawed his way back into the game and Idra's poor Broodlords positioning where MC managed to sniped them with Blink Stalkers. In the second game, Idra pulled off a 6 Pool Zergling rush on Xel'Naga Caverns and oGsMC reacted calmly and countered the rush with ease with 2 Gateways and Idra leaves the game.
The match between MC and Whitera will be their 3rd encounter since the GSL World team Championship. During the Starcraft 2 Team battle between the Koreans and foreigners, Whitera managed to ripped apart oGsMC with strategy Warp Prism usage. However, oGsMC managed to defeated Whitera in the invidual World Championship tournament with ease. Their encounter this time can be concluded as epic. Whitera managed to claim the first two games in a best of 5 series. However, oGsMC, the Kratoss Protoss proves that he is indeed the Kratoss Protoss and best player in the world at the moment by claiming the next three games. With a proxy 2 Gateway Zealots against an unprepared Whitera, oGsMC is crown the champion of Dreamhack Invitational.
Congratulations to oGsMC in winning Dreamhack Invitational and claiming his first title outside of Korea. We will be looking forward for more oGsMC domination around the world in the future. MC's aim will be winning a million dollars from Starcraft 2 before he retires which seem very possible if he continues his dominating streak tearing every opponent he faced like true Kratoss.
