WhO and Artosis go on a second date

According to a post he made on Teamliquid.net, Dan 'Artosis' Stemkoski plans on releasing a series of videos featuring South Korean Starcraft II players, playing matches and answering questions.

The first to be questioned over a free dinner is ESWC 2008 champion Du Seop 'WhO' Chang, though the interview portion of the video is a little brief. The majority of the video focuses on WhO playing at a local PC bang.

You can watch the video at SCforall.com, though be warned, it's a good hour-or-so long.

Latest Korean SCII BETA rankings

The Starcraft community's resident jack of all trades Dan 'Artosis' Stemkoski, has released an up to date ranking of Korea's Starcraft II BETA battle.net divisions.

Peppered between the long list of Starcraft players is a smattering of faces, old and new, recognizable to Warcraft III fans. Ex-orc player Jung Min 'Zenio' Choi, winner of PlayXP's premier Starcraft II cup, is ranked at number two in division one, second only to blast from the past Yong Suk 'FreeDom' Chang. FreeDom made the switch from WC3 to SC back in 2005, after the MBC map scandal sapped his motivation for competitive Warcraft.

Fly went head to head with ex-teammate Xiang 'TH000' Huang and orc player Blast of E3, losing both two maps to one. Fly had just come off an impressive streak of top three performances in 2009, which is why it's such a surprise to see him eliminated during the first group stage of this event.

The Stars War Reborn Chinese poll has closed and the results are in; Xiaofeng 'Sky' Li has received the most votes and will claim an automatic bye to the final, which is scheduled to take place this April in Shanghai, China.

It's no surprise that Sky, China's sweetheart, cleared the polls with a wide berth between himself and the runner up. What is surprising is the 120million plus votes that put him there.
