Manuel "4K^Grubby" Schenkhuizen gave up his title to Jang in season one due to time constraints. Jang worked his way to the championship bout by defeating Tae Min "SK.Zacard" Hwang and Yoan "4K^ToD" Merlo. Jang also recently won IEST 2006’s Warcraft 3 tournament by defeating Jae Wook "MYM]Lucifer" Noh and Xiaofeng "WE.IGE.Sky" Li. Jang looks to be positioned well with a recent win over Noh, an undead player, on his resume.

However, Cho should not be counted out. He enters this match after a decisive 3-0 victory over Sung Sik "WE.IGE.ReMinD" Kim, a night elf player, in the earlier round. While Jang appears to have regained his aura of invincibility from 2005, Cho’s domination of Kim bodes well for wNv’s undead player.
