The Road of the King tournament ended with an epic final which saw World Elite seize the title from SK Gaming in an all-kill and an anti all-kill thriller. Meet Your Makers earlier triumphed over Fnatic with a 5-0 victory and claimed the third place.The final was absolutely sensational, as predicted. After Xiaofeng "Sky" was taken down by Sung Sik "ReMinD" Kim in the opening game, the new Undead phenomenon Zhuo "TED" Zeng soldiered on and defeated ReMinD, Seo Woo "ReiGn" Kang and June "Lyn" Park twice.
World Elite were leading 4-1 and were only one game away from the title while SK Gaming had only Seong Deok "SoJu" Lee left in their line-up. While everyone was expecting TED to finish another all-kill like he did against Meet Your Makers in the semi-finals yesterday, SoJu put up a hard fight and kept SK Gaming's slight hope alive. He later on defeated World Elite's starlet Xuwen "infi" Wang three times in a row in less than 15 minutes and equalised the total score.
The deciding game seemed to favour SK Gaming as World Elite's last player was Ke "Like" Li who had not had many notable achievements so far and it was SoJu's turn to pick map. However, the underdog showed his worth and finished their opponent's last hope of claiming the champion once and for all with a triple hero kill.
World Elite crowned themselves the kings of the Road of the King and claimed a cheque for $10,000. SK Gaming came second and earned $4,000 while the third placed Meet Your Makers received $2,000.
Congratulations to World Elite on becoming the champion!

And due to the fact that MagicYang was in top10 Kalimdor for a while,he was instantly "top player of the world" ?. I laugh my ass off
And do you know the CEG and PGL in China, in which most of the world's top players also played for??
Come on man, we never said Chinese players better than Korean, we only said they are equal, during 2002~2004, some qualified players didn't get the chance to play for the world's tournament due to the VISA issue. Or they will show more to the world.
I checked for your comments, you never say 'Nice' for this amazing game, I can say that we are enjoying the excellent game by both team, but you are enjoying the lose may I guess?? What's a funny!
And Korea >> anything else during 2002-2004. How can you expect to be better than the elite of 30 players that are playing in TV matches?
Even now only China's best like Sky, Infi, Ted, xiaot can compete with the Koreans. But I'd rate 2nd class Koreans like Winners still higher than any of the names that are listed in the CEG qualifiers or the WE.09 team.
since they have gazillions of people they can basically abuse anything in numbers :P
Congratlations to both~
those annoying SK fanboys will dissapear for a while :D
Good game by Like btw
WE fighting!~
TH000,my favor!
TED was so impressive during all this tournament :)
but the question is rematch. ted vs sk gaming player race to 3. example ted vs lyn. i thik ted has not chance to win from lyn.
Ted VS Lyn 50% to win
Ted VS Remind 65% win
Ted Vs Soju 65% to win
Ted Vs Moon 50% to win
