It's been some months since the dust settled from Korea's last fray into the North American Collegiate scene. Determined to show their skill, the Korean Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) reached out to challenge their North American collegiate counterparts, and the University of California Berkeley stepped up to the challenge. On July 10th, these two schools battled it out in a no holds barred best of 9 allkill match. KAIST drew first blood that day, and quickly jumped to a 3-0 lead. Bloodied but not yet deterred, UC Berkeley threw out their leader Conan "Suppy" Liu to hold the line against the Korean onslaught. Suppy proceeded to dismantle each and every opponent thrown at him, and in the end UC Berkeley proved their worth with a 5-3 victory over KAIST.
Stung by the defeat, the Koreans withdrew back to their own server...and bidded their time for their next offensive. Now, a new challenger has stepped up to the plate to avenge the honor of their fallen compatriots and assert their dominance. The Seoul National University eSports team, boasting the likes of TSL_Polt on their roster, have issued a challenge to the University of California Berkeley Starcraft 2 team. The Berkeley team is no small threat, headed by team leader and new Evil Geniuses member Suppy, and a strong corp of players behind his back. Yet even so, the task will be an immense one to overcome.
Once again the lines will be drawn on the battlefield, as the North American and Korean collegiate scenes clash once more.
