Evil Geniuses' Marcus "ThorZaIN" Eklöf is the first ever foreigner to grab the honor of the MVP title for Proleague round one.



On January 3rd, 2013, reporters from all around put in their votes for the round one MVP for SC2 Proleague 2012-2013 and ThorZaIN won the first place spot.



Marcus Eklöf won against STX SouL's Classic in game five on Arkanoid on December 29th, 2012, and gave EG-TL the final needed victory. That victory put ThorZaIN into candidacy for the MVP spot for Proleague round one. In the end, ThorZaIN defeated Team 8's BaBy, EG-TL's Jaedong, and KT Rolster's Flash in the voting competition and grabbed the MVP title for round one.



ThorZaIN's victory was really special because his victory was the first foreigner victory against a Korean in over seven years and six months for Proleague. The last foreigner to win before ThorZaIN was back in 2006 during SKY Proleague where E-Nature Top's won against . Afterwards, no other foreigner took a victory, nor did they have opportunities to get sent out.



EG-TL's supervisor, Hwanni, stated that "ThorZaIN's victory in Proleague was the first foreigner victory in 2748 days so I think that's why it has been receiving a lot of recognition. I believe this achievement is not only a victory for ThorZaIN but for every other foreigner player out there as well."



P.S. According to Daily eSports, ThorZaIN has been given the nickname "Blue Eyed Warrior"
