This article is over 5 years old and may contain outdated information

After an impressive run through the 2019 Korean Circuit, including wins in GSL, the veteran Korean Zerg player has won his first StarCraft 2 Global Finals defeating 17 year-old Italian Zerg player Reynor.

Dark steamrolled his competition on his way to becoming grand champion, defeating the lone Terran in the round of 8, Maru, 3-0 and Classic 3-0. Reynor was able to take one map off of him, but he too would fall to Dark 4-1.

The defending champion from last year and the first non-Korean StarCraft 2 champion, Serral, lost to Reynor in the semifinals 3-2 in a very close and back and forth series. Dark admitted in a post-championship interview that he wanted to go head to head with the defending champ, and had worked on his ZvZ in preparation for a showdown with Serral. It’s likely we’ll see them go head to head again in the future.

With the victory, Dark takes home the grand prize of $210,000. Reynor will receive $96,000 for second, and Serral and Classic which each take $51,000.

Congratulations to Dark for capping off an impressive 2019 by becoming StarCraft II’s grand champion!
