MYM]Moon to carry the Olympic torch



Two years before each Olympics, thousands, perhaps millions, of people compete to be torchbearers of the world’s most prestigious sports event.

However, every Olympic host will also have leeway in selecting its torchbearers. For the upcoming Beijing Olympics 2008, Warcraft 3 superstar Korea, South MYM]Moon is slated to take part in the Olympic torch relay in Hainan Province, China, amongst other professional players.

In the last Lenovo International Electric Sports Tournament, the committe had announced that the players who attained top places would have chances to be torchbearers in Beijing Olympics torch relay, as Levono is also one of the main sponsors of the Beijing Olympic Games, thus having the rights to select torchbearers by themselves. With Moon winning the last IEST Warcraft III, he has earned himself the chance to take part in this most significant activity.

The torch relay will be held on May 5th, 2008.

Other torchbearers:

China Xiaofeng "Sky" Li
China Li Jia "xiaobai" Sheng
China Lei "BET.Leilei" Shen
China Junchun "Pj" Sha
China Chenglong "Sai" Zhou
China Wei "Jaystar" Ding
China Dapeng Chen



The slogan for peace and brotherliness of the Olympic Games 2008 in Beijing

uhh, you miss my point...if Wc3 player can hold an olympic torch, how come a chess player doesn't? Chess has been on the scene for way more than 100 years (and didn't need any balance patches)

You mean that serious?
If yes: China got the biggest WC3 Comm. in the world and it supports WC3 very much, so its a better decision to let a WC3 take the fire, then a chess-player -.-

I think it has to do with the popularity of wc3 and chess, as far as my knowledge goes there isn't really a country in which chess is populair and chess matches get broadcasted on tv and such ;)

Russia has had many good chess players, so I'd make an uneducated guess that it's popular there.

IMO, it's a popularity contest on who'll be bringing the torch.

If you're very popular even if you don't do anything, then chances are they might allow you to be a torch bearer.
