Last two players in the last GS Caltext Cup met in the semi-final.
Lee SeDol 9Dan won against Park YoungHun 9Dan by resign with white in the semi-final of the 18th GS Caltex Cup on 10th.
Before this match, the game record is 23 wins 15 loses for Lee SeDol 9Dan. But it was 6 wins 5 loses in the GS Caltex Cup. As they have met in the final of the GS Cup two times before, they exchanged finals.
Lee SeDol 9Dan led the game from the beginning a lot. Lee 9Dan was confidence in his moves and decided quickly and accurately in the complicated variations. In the end game, Lee 9Dan had mistakes in reading, but it was not effected to the result of the game.
The opponent in the final is Kim JiSuk 8Dan. The game record is 12 wins 4 loses for Lee SeDol 9Dan. But Kim JiSuk 8Dan is having very good condition these days. Lee SeDol 9Dan said about Kim JiSuk 8Dan that he is showing very good mood recently, and I can not be sure about the result this time. I think it will be very fun for both of us.
The final will be held from 16th of April. It is very interesting that Lee SeDol 9Dan appointed Kim JiSuk 8Dan as a next leader of Korea Baduk after him. And they meet in the final and no one can escape from that moment, but to compete.
