The Korean Night Elf player Sung Sik "ReMinD" Kim promises that he will show his best and will be stronger than ever after leaving SK.



Although ReMinD and his teammate SoJu are known as one of the best 2on2 pairs, they lost twice to Sky and Infi, who went for tower-rushes in all five games and succeeded.

- The first reason that we lost is that we were not prepared at all against this tower rush tactic from dual Human and could never get practice against it in ladder or custom games because no one uses this combination in the world except infi and Sky. Yeah, their tower rush tactic is pretty unbeatable against orc and ne, said ReMinD.

ReMinD's 1on1 performance at WC3L was shaky. The start was tough, losing 0-2 to Sky. After game one against Kei, being down 0-1, the Night Elf player pulled off a 2-1 win for his team.

However, in the clan war versus MYM, ReMinD suffered another 0-2 loss, this time against Grubby. The experienced Night Elf player then had to play Sky once again in the grand final.

The result was 1-1 and it was all down to the third map. ReMinD was playing with the fire the whole game, and even thought he had less food count for most of the time, he secured a higher level heroes and overcame the Chinese human to win the match 2-1.

- I just screamed out like ‘YEAH’ because I couldn't believe that I made a comeback after having such a bad start until the middle of the game, but realised straight away that it was not the end of the final, and that there was one more match to play. I wished it was the end of the final of course, explained ReMinD to Replays.Net, translated by SK-Gaming.

ReMinD believes he has a very good 2009 ahead of him. Looking back on 2008 he did not win any offline title, compared to his rewarding year in 2007.
- I will remain in this scene and work so hard in 2009 and I want to show you great performances of mine in the near future, promised ReMinD.
