Primary Race: Undead WC3L Season X Player Rank: 5th Home Map: Secret Valley, Echo Isles, Terenas Stand Clans usually pray for a player to come down from the heavens, with the kind of godly micro and visionary strategies that can carry a team all the way to the WC3L Championship. Team MeetYourMakers, however, well, they went in a different direction—they got a player from the depths of hell. JaeWook Noh, aka Lucifer, has displayed his devilish talents for the Danish-based clan for the past year since his arrival from Undead-stacked Korean clan, Cherry, which is (or was) home to such Undead stalwarts, Cherry-ReiGn and Cherry-Destroyu. In 2005, Lucifer teamed with longtime MYM mainstay Susiria and the prodigal, returning Night Elf superstar, Moon, to capture the Season IX WC3L Championship that had eluded them the year before, as well as the inaugural NGL title. Oh yeah, he’s also the reigning ESWC champion. As a team this year, MYM has struggled to duplicate its 2005 success, falling as low as seventh in the team standings and losing to less-heralded clans such as hoorai and SK Germany. Their fall from grace, ironically, has nothing to do with their fallen angel. Lucifer went a stellar 9 and 2 for the year. Lucifer’s record is even more impressive when you factor in the competition he’s had to face. He has played, in nearly every CW, the opposing clan’s first or second ranked player. Even the lower half of the WC3L division-- teams such as hoorai, verGe and SK.de-- have tossed their top dogs to face Lucifer. His only two losses, while perhaps not excusable are certainly understandable. They occurred in back-to-back matchups against the Olympian pantheon of WC3 talent. He lost a close 2:1 decision to mouz’s best player, SaSe, before slamming into the Big Green Monster himself, Grubby, who took him out 2:0. Entering this year’s offline playoffs, Lucifer, like so many UDs, need only worry about Grubby . If he can avoid Grubby, he’s in good shape to score points for MYM. ToD has a chance, should the two face, but Lucifer has long haunted Humans, taking out no less than Sky himself in route to his ESWC crowning, which gives MYM an edge.
Jung-Ki “Susiria” Oh With Moon questioning his micro mortality, and MYM hobbling on three legs, it was Jung-Ki Oh, aka Susiria, who stepped up with his best season yet. Susiria finished the year as the second ranked player in WC3L play, losing only five maps in eleven total playdays. Long known as a fearsome mirror player, Susiria cannibalized his own race to the tune of five Undead corpses: Space, Happy, Protois, XlorD, and most impressive of all, his Undead brother, GoStop; making him virtually unstoppable against that race this season. He follows up his successes against Undead with other races, winning against his only Human opponent Insomnia 2:0. His battles against Night Elf and Orc has one hitch each, against Levin and Lyn, to which he lost 1:2 on both. Susiria is obviously overshadowed by his more devilish teammate Lucifer when it comes to being a top Undead player, but he obviously doesn't deserve to be second fiddle--his 20:5 mapscore is far more impressive than Lucifer's performance this season. If someone asks who's the MVP of MYM this season: all roads lead to Susiria.
