GosuGamers have reported that StarCraft veteran Dong Soo 'GARIMTO' Kim defeated WarCraft III champion Manuel 'Grubby' Schenkhuizen in an exhibition match held in a Korean Air hangar.

Apparently Garimto played as random on the first map, getting Terran, while Grubby chose Protoss. Garimto came out the victor 2 maps to none, with the second map, Scrap Station, apparently lasting 24 minutes.

VODs:
Game 1: Grubby (P) vs. Garimto (T) @ Lost Temple

Game 2: Grubby (P) vs. Garimto (T) @ Scrap Station (1/2)
Game 2: Grubby (P) vs. Garimto (T) @ Scrap Station (2/2)

Grubby is known to Westerners as one of the best WarCraft III players in the game's history, with WCG gold medals as well as Blizzcon and WEM titles amongst his lengthy list of accomplishments.

Garimto is one of the oldest active South Korean progamers, at the age of 29, and is well loved by fans despite having spent a number of years in retirement from StarCraft. In 2001 he defeated the legendary BoxeR in the final of the SKY OSL. He is also the only Protoss player to win two OSL titles. More recently he became a member of MYM for StarCraft II.

Korean Air gained itself a place in South Korean StarCraft gamers' hearts by sponsoring the last season of the OSL, and the next. The finals of the first Korean Air OSL were also held in a hangar, with impressive entrance ceremonies as challenger and eventual champion EffOrt was lowered down on a crane and the otherwise dominant Flash entered in a plane.
