Lee SeDol went down in ChinLan Cup

Lee SeDol's slump may connect to Korea Baduk's slump. Because Lee SeDol's results in the world championship are directly connected with Korea Baduk's results. Therefore, Baduk fan's expectation seems to be too much for him which pushes his shoulder a lot. But Lee 9Dan is rank 1 in Korea, people expect him to win this time, even he has very bad mood and condition.

Lee SeDol 9Dan lost against Chen YaoYe 9Dan in the last game of the 9^th ChunLan Cup on 20^th.

The first game was kind of very unusual for Lee 9Dan as he could not resist and turn the game as usual. And he was lucky in the second game, but went down in the last game on 20^th.

Song TaGon 9Dan commented that I thought Lee 9Dan could win the game when he lived his weak group on the right side, but his moves were too strong in the center and got counter punch from Chen 9Dan. It was the time that Lee 9Dan went down. But regardless of the results, both players showed very good games to all Baduk fans.

Lee SeDol 9Dan is legendary in the world as well as in Korea. But he has very bad condition recently as he has lower than 50% winning rate until 20^th.

But Chen YaoYe 9Dan won the world championship for the first time. Last three times, Chen 9Dan lost in the final but this time, he overcomes it.

Chen 9Dan said in the interview that I am so happy to win against Lee SeDol 9Dan. He is stronger than me, so I did not have much burden before the game.

Chen YaoYe's win this time has a lot of meanings. It means that China's time is here now. Korea and Japan and other countries should ready to follow them after this.
