Ma Jae-Yoon (Korean: 마재윤) (born 23 November 1987), known by the pseudonym sAviOr (previously IPXZerg), and dubbed The Maestro for his uncanny play, is a professional South Korean e-sports gamer of the real-time strategy game StarCraft. He plays the Zerg race and is one of the most successful and popular players of all time.[1][2]
[edit] TeamMa Jae-Yoon is a member of CJ Entus, a professional StarCraft: Brood War e-sports team sponsored by CJ CGV, an entertainment subsidiary of the CJ Corporation.[3][4] [edit] SuccessMa Jae-Yoon has been rated first in the Korean e-Sports Player's Association (KeSPA) ratings nine times; only Park Sung-Joon (JulyZerg) has more first place rankings for the Zerg race with eleven.[5][6] sAviOr is widely considered to have been the most dominant professional Brood War player of 2006.[7][8] He has won three MSLs (MBCGame Starleague) and one OSL (Ongamenet Starleague).[9][10][11] Ma Jae-Yoon has got his success through his revolutionizing management (Macro-based, defensive style zerg) play and crucial timings. [12] [edit] Current eventsDuring the 2007–2008 seasons Ma Jae-Yoon lost several important matches. He especially faltered in the latest season of matches, where he was eliminated in the first round of both the MSL and the OSL with a total record of 0–5.[13] One theory of his decline in performance during this time is that he was devastated and never recovered from his 0–3 loss to Kim Taek-Yong (Bisu) in the GOM TV Season 1 MSL finals on 3 March 2007;[14] and then later, in November 2007, he lost to Bisu again in the quarterfinals of the 2007 Ever OSL 1–2.[15][16] Ma Jae-Yoon was ranked 5th in the March 2008 KeSPA ranking with 1,540.5 points, he was behind Lee Jae-Dong (Jaedong) (2,400.3), Kim Taek-Yong (Bisu) (2,302.6), Song Byung-Goo (Stork) (2,219.6), and Lee Young-Ho (Flash) (1,747.5).[17][18][19] His career hit a new low when he failed to make it past the first round in the 2008 EVER OSL. He lost to the newcomer Spear, and then to his old rival, Lee Yun Yeol (Red_NaDa). He currently features in many of CJ Entus's 2v2 matches, but has yet to play a 1v1 match in the ProLeague this season. He was demoted to the CJ Entus B-team, but his improved performance following the demotion allowed him to return to CJ Entus Team A on July 21, 2008.[20] Ma Jae-Yoon went 8-1 and won the Blizzcon 2008 tournament by defeating Nada 2-0 in the finals. Afterwards, in an interview, he stated that he will "destroy" everyone in 2009.[1] In September of 2009, Ma Jae-Yoon gave an interview that said he had finally gotten over his mental state, and is quoted to be saying "Look forward to my StarLeague win". He has since been shown in the proleague each matchup, but has yet to show signs of the interview coming to fruition. [21] [edit] Major achievements
