KR , SK Gaming's South Korean Protoss representative from oGs, has won HomeStoryCup IV, sweeping KR Sang-Hwan 'Sound' Bae 4:0 in the Bo7 final. MC takes home at least $7,500, and since he had already qualified for the IEM VI World Championship his spot goes to third place finisher KR Jin-Young 'JYP' Park.

MC only dropped two maps total during his three playoff series, sweeping two opponents along the way. For the whole tournament the President of Protoss went 20-6 in maps.

KR Sang-Hwan 'Sound' Bae impressed many simply by making it all the way to the final. The little-known South Korean Terran defeated the likes of FR Stephano, UA DIMAGA and NL Grubby to reach the playoffs. Once there he moved past KR ReaL and KR viOLet in back-to-back five map series to make the final.
