Space featured in Korean newspaper

fnatic, space

Space was recently featured in a Korean newspaper, YoungNam. In the article they talk about his career as a proffesional gamer, his life and his disease. Space is an undead player, currently playing for team fnatic. He plays in fnatic's main line-up in WC3L and NGL. This weekend he won the 55th Zotac-Cup, where he played against WhO in a best-of-5 series and defeated him with a 3-2 score.

Despite Space condition he continues to surprise with his good results. Defeating WhO 3-2 in zotac. He has been performing well in WC3L with 8 wins and 4 lost. He also placed 2nd in AWL season 3 and ranked #3-4 in AWL masters earlier this year.

Here is a preview of the summary on the  article

Many people always wondered what disease he suffered from and the first thing in the article is its identified as Muscular Atrophy. Space has one fervent prayer from god, that he can continue to have the power to move his fingers... While his body is slowly moving to a "solid state" where he won't be able to move anything at all.

The article ends on a positive note as Space wants to live till the age of 30 and while the doctors said he wouldn't live till 20, he is 20 now and still going on strong. So maybe for him there is hope.

The complete summary on the article and pictures can be found at www.fnatic.com

Not the first interview

This isn't the first time Space has been featured in a Korean magazine. Last year our former WC3 ESup Marcus 'Wind' Ho, dug up an article from "Chosun" about the Korean pro-player. To see the complete transcript of that interview, go here: Go)Space - "My dream is not to stay healthy".

The crazy thing is that - beside Space's awesome understanding of the game - he has one of the best micro I have seen for a long time.
Pull me down again and guide me into pain.
