An endless race for gold, the history of ‘Spa 5’ veteran Kim Kwan-woo [SS Hangzhou in]

 He only smiles brightly after confirming his advancement to the finals and coming down to the stage. I was holding onto his trembling hand tightly as if the tension of the game was still there. This is the story of Kim Kwan-woo (44), a veteran of the Korean e-sports ‘Street Fighter 5’ event at the Hangzhou Asian Games. Kim Kwan-woo, showing off his veteran record, reached the finals and secured at least a silver medal, making a miraculous golden run that no one expected.


He is truly a warrior of reversal. Kim Kwan-woo achieved a thrilling comeback victory over Taiwanese representative Lin Liwei with a set score of 2-1 in the e-sports 'Street Fighter 5' event held at the Hangzhou e-Sports Center in China on the 27th. As a result, Kim Kwan-woo will go on a gold hunt in the long-awaited finals, which will be held on the 28th at 8:20 PM (local time).

Kim Kwan-woo, who we met in the mixed zone after the game, said, “I think we still have a lot left. Still, I’m very happy that I’ve moved up step by step. “I want to hear praise from the coach as soon as possible,” he said. “The coach and we believed that we would win a medal unconditionally. “So, if I believe in my abilities more, I think I can go further (to the gold medal),” he said, expressing confidence. 토토

Even before the opening of the competition, ‘Street Fighter 5’ was not an event expected to receive a medal. However, among the four e-sports events in which Korea participated, Kim Kwan-woo, a veteran in his 40s, was the first to advance to the finals. It's an unexpected feat.

He said, “I think I feel more stable when I sit on the big stage rather than in the auxiliary stadium. “I think the big stage is my constitution (laughter),” he said. “They say I’m the oldest medal-worthy member of the Korean team at the Asian Games. I am confident of winning the gold medal. “The opponent will be strong, but I will also show the strength of a strong veteran,” he said with a bright smile.

SF is also missing... Imanaga remains with Boston, Cubs, and Angels before recruitment
