Wun “MMA” Seong Won beat Jang “MC” Min Chul to win the third season of Blizzard’s WCS Europe.
StarCraft II player Mun ’MMA’ Seong Won has won the third season of Blizzard’s World Championship Series for the European region. His win earned him $20,000 and 1,500 WCS points.
Mun took the title after a back and forth series with Jang ’MC’ Min Chul. Mun would take a commanding lead, initially, after winning the maps Akilon Wastes, Frost LE, and Whirlwind LE. After establishing his early advantage he would falter and concede games on Yeonsu LE and Bel’shir Vestige LE. Mun would then rally to close the series after defending Jang’s one base, blink stalker allin on Derelict Watcher TE.
Though Jang, undoubtedly, hoped to win the finals, he might find solace that his second place, $12,000, finish now brings him to over $400,000 in tournament winnings. He currently has more tournament earnings than any other professional StarCraft II player.
Mun and Jang now sit at 7th and 8th respectively in the yearly WCS standings. Given that both players still have the WCS Season Three Finals ahead of them, their attendance at this year’s WCS Grand Finals is assured.
The WCS Grand Finals will take place at BlizzCon in the Anaheim Convention Center in Anaheim, California on November 8th and 9th.
Editor’s note: Though the SC2 Earnings website lists Jang as being just shy of $400,000, they don’t include the $5,000 he’ll earn from attending the WCS Season Three Finals.
