GOMTV.net announced a show match between KR Yo-Hwan 'BoxeR' Lim and KR Jin Ho 'YellOw' Hong in a best of three format, with Tastosis casting August 5th at 3PM CEST.

These two players have met countless times in games over the years, with over 60 official games played in tournaments, both of them having about a 50% win ratio, but BoxeR genrally scoring the wins that counted. After BoxeR had taken several key victories over YellOw, he earned the nickname "King of Second Place" or "King of Silver". In one of the most famous Brood War matches between these two previously, BoxeR won 3-0 over YellOw with three straight bunker rushes in a row, fans were initially disappointed that these weren't incredibly epic drawn out games as previous games had been, but it has gone down as one of the most the famous of games because of the mind games, and incredible micro that BoxeR had shown.

As BoxeR has shown us, he can still compete at the very top levels, and YellOw has not been heard of in terms of Starcraft 2, so he will certainly have to pull out some crazy stunts to be able to compete with BoxeR.

It is the rivalry of rivalries. Never has there been a longer, greater and fiercer feud between two progamers in the history of StarCraft. It is so popular that fans have coined the term Lim Jin Rok to describe the two players' relationship and the ultimate anticipation and elation when these two titans of StarCraft face each other.

Before StarCraft II was released fans were asked which players they would like to see face each other the most. Many people voted for a showdown between the StarCraft icon BoxeR and the '5th race' of Warcraft III MooN, but an overwhelming amount of the community wanted to see another iteration of Lim Jin Rok, BoxeR vs YellOw.

They used to be teammates, they have been friends for over 10 years and they probably will stay rivals forever. Do not miss this match, coming to you live on August 5th via GOMTV.net at 3PM CEST brought to you by Blizzard, LG 3D Cinema and GOMTV.net as part of the Cinema 3D and Optimus 3D Summer Festival!
