WCG 07: Creolophus Wins the WCG

WCG

After beating two of the biggest favourites to win WCG 2007, China Sky has once again reached the final. For the third consecutive time, the Chinese has shown the world that he is a monster on LAN, and has left both Korea, South Moon and Netherlands Grubby behind with clear 2-0 defeats. So far Sky has only dropped one single map in the tournament, when he lost to SoJu in the groupstage. He is now looking for his fourth 2-0 victory in the Single Elimination, when he faces Nightelf player Norway Creolophus in the Grand Final of WCG 2007.

While many had Sky as one of the favourites prior to the tournament, the inactive Creolophus was given little attention. After his astonishing 2nd place at ESWC 2007 and his victory in BNet Season V, the Norwegian decided to retire from professional gaming. Because of this, no one believed that he would be able to reach the final, and wrote him off before he even arrived in Seattle. But even though he has been struggling on his way through the tournament, losing two games in the groupstage, dropping a map in every round of the Single Elimination, Creolophus has made it to the Grand Final.

After a great bo3 series Creolophus won the final in what seems to be his last event in the pro scene we here at Meetyourmakers would like to congratulate Creolophus for this amazing achivment.

Gold Norway Nightelves Creolophus Prize: 20.000
Silver China Human SKY Prize : 8.000
Bronze Korea, South Moon Prize 5.000

WCG Grand Final

Time (CET)	Player 1	vs	Player 2
22:30	Sky	1:2	Creolophus

While Sky and Creolophus progressed to the Grand Final, both Korea, South Moon and Russian Fede- XyLigan were denied the chance of victory. Instead they were left fighting for the 3rd place, with the Russian trying to avoid repeating the history and getting a 4th place two years in a row. XyLigan was left begging for better luck though, as Moon beat him 2-1 to grab the Bronze.

And again Ego1st prepared a prediction of the Grand Final, which you can also findin our coverage!

...
None expected Creolophus to come that far in the tournament but it looks like he is still good enough to compete with the best and maybe even to repeat his efforts he made in ESWC 2007 or BlizzCon.
But Sky showed a pretty stable performance so far and was able to defeat Moon in the semi finals.
So, we got both players winning their semi finals against the race their opponents will play next

No doubt impressive by Creo, but again this year Sky goes through the tougher part of the bracket. I think Moon played very well, but there was just no chance for him to overcome Human when Sky also played close to flawless. Last edited by Nordahl at 07.10.2007, 13:05 I line up my hair perfectly!

Nice job Creo! 1st at Blizzcon, 1st at WCG 07, and 2nd at ESWC 07. Nice accomplishments for this year! I was kinda rooting for Sky because I want to see him win 3 WCG in a row.

(last year) #28 HenL

So happy for him :).

(last year) #29 Phlereous

Ofcourse Nordahl will defend Moon but no matter how easy his way to the final was Creolophus is WCG2007 champion.And I think he proved he is best player for this year(personal opinion) For her I'm the Cookie monster...

(last year) #30 kiN_-

Great Job CREO!!! Man decides to retire and then starts dominating the game ^_^ maybe he was just trying to hard or taking it to seiously and the decision to retire and just play improved his game :)... maybe

(last year) #31 Flex-
