Another MLG, in the books, another set of Koreans showing the world how it's done. Nothing special, apart from perhaps First's stunning run through the bracket, coming back from a first round loss to SortOf to smash almost all the Korean opposition he encountered, his run came somewhat short of first place though, ending at a 3rd-4th spot.
That's because TaeJa, the Liquid player who has recently been as on form as we've ever seen them, was the one player able to stop him. TaeJa ended up winning the whole thing, beating Alicia in the finals. This means it's Alicia's third second place in a row, and with that he joins the illustrious company of MarineKing in doing so at consecutive foreign tournaments.
Apart from the money won all the players in the top 16 receive an all-expenses paid trip to the MLG Summer Championship, which are to be held in Raleigh, North Carolina from August 24th to 26th.
