In his first tournament appearance since joining the Western Wolves, Ju "Sting" Hoon has taken first at IEM Singapore. The former New Star HoSeo player, who put himself on the radar with a fourth place finish during TSL4, managed to recover from a disappointing group stage performance to fight through a gauntlet of tournament favourites including Lucifron, YugiHo and Vortix before facing Grubby in the Grand Final. His strong macro based bio play was able to weather the literal and figurative storm that his opponent threw at him as he shut down Grubby's come back momentum with strong one base strategy to finish the series.
