The GSL S2 Bo7 final is over and the champion has been crowned, earning himself $89,000.The Global StarCraft League season 2 has come to a close and the champion, 
Jae-Duck 'NesTea' Lim, crowned after a full seven map series. He wins $89,000 and becomes the second Zerg to win a GSL title, after fruitdealer last season.
Jung-Hoon 'MarineKing' Lee (a.k.a. Foxer/Fake BoxeR) seemed to have control of the series as he went up 2:0 but NesTea pulled it back to a 2:2 tie. Even so BoxeR again took the lead 3:2 and needed only one of the remaining maps to claim the title. NesTea completed his storybook evening though, winning both to become the GSL S2 champion.
