Jang Jae-ho
Jang Jae-ho (known as spirit_moon or moon, born December 14, 1986) is a South Korean professional gamer of the popular Blizzard real-time strategy games Warcraft III and StarCraft II. He is seen by many as the best Night Elf player in the world. Jang Jae-ho is a five time world champion and has won three televised national Korean WarCraft III Championships as well as four seasons of MBCGame's World War. He is particularly known for his excellent micromanagement and innovative strategies. He is often seen using strategies that later set the benchmark for many Night Elf players and was nicknamed the "5th Race" by Gametv.com. He has played and won more televised WarCraft III games than any other Warcraft III players. Jang Jae-ho is featured in the documentary film Beyond the Game. His prize money of Warcraft 3 exceed $356,738.93 which is the highest among all players in Warcraft 3 history. Moon transitioned to StarCraft II and without a team for a while, and later retired from professional gaming in order to fulfill South Korean military service requirements. Now he has returned to Warcraft 3 and participated in the Grand Final of World Cyber Arena 2015.
After Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne was released July 2003 a professional competitive gaming scene supporting the game developed in South Korea. Jang Jae-ho quickly rose to become one of the most prominent players in this scene, winning his first big tournament by beating Chun "Sweet" Jung Hee in the finals of televised league MBC Sonokong Prime League II in 2003. He defended his championship title in the finals of next edition of the league (which took place later that year), and lost to Park Se "Swain" Ryong who was at one point down 2 maps (the match is considered one of the greatest comebacks in WarCraft III history).
