[p]Lee Jong-Hwan forgot his gaming module at the Korean National Championship, took a cab home although he can’t really afford it as a student; hurried back to the event and won his ticket for Worlds. The ride in the cab has probably been the trip of his life, at least as long as he’s not setting for the plane back to South Korea!

Back to all news[p]We’ve asked all of the World Championship the same question: What does it take to make it to the World Championship? Most of them were telling you to keep a level head, stay focused and that you might also need a little help from lady luck on the day of the big event. However, no one was talking about age.
