    author | Yohwan Lim

    He is a professional gamer that carries dazzling nicknames, such as the "Emperor of Terran," and "Hope of Terran." During his 11th grade, while at a friend's house to study, he accidentally came across the game Starcraft; he now spends the most of his time playing this game. He chose Terran, which was considered inferior, and used the dropship, which was ignored by many because of its slow speed, to promote the "entertainment of watching" to the fans of Starcraft. With every given moment, he practices his games relentlessly. With over 500,000 members of the online Daum fan cafe (Lim Yohwan's Dropship: cafe.daum.net/yohwanfan) alone, he has established his stardom.

    Debuting in the fall of 1999 as a pro-gamer with the team IS, he began with his victory in the SBS Multi-Game Championship, and made his id SlayerS_`BoxeR` known to the public. After exhibiting brilliant plays that brought his accession from the "Hope of Terran" to the "Emperor of Terran," he placed 1st in the 2001 World Cyber Games and elevated the stature of Korean progamers. Moving to the team sponsored by Orion in 2002, he set the record as the first progamer with a salary of 100 million won. In October 2004, at the age of 25, he is now the captain of the team SK Telecom T1, with an annual salary exceeding 200 million won.
