Jianfei "Iefnaij" Wang is the winner of Razer Teamliquid Starleague.
After three months of intense competition, the Razer Teamliquid StarLeague has come to close with Jianfei "Iefnaij" Wang defeating Krzysztof "Draco" Nalepka in a very close series.

Draco entered into this series, and the whole tournament as a clear favorite. However, his opponent in the grand finals, Iefnaij was a relative newcomer who has really only began to make a name for himself in the past year or two.

The series began in favor of the Polish protoss who managed to take the first two games. Pressure was on Iefnaij to win in the third match or he would be knocked out of the tournament. The third and fourth game would end up going in favor of the Canadian. The last and final game of the series, while relatively short, was very intense.

In the final game, Draco opened up with a very offensive, macro-oriented build meant to overwhelm his opponent with sheer numbers alone. Iefnaij would keep his cool and prevented Draco from coming into his base. From this point on, the tide of the game had switched into the hands of Iefnaij. With a force made up of dark templars, dragoons, and reavers Iefnaij was able to execute a flawless attack on Draco which would be enough to end the game.

The first place prize of $5000 will be awarded to Iefnaij and $2000 for Draco.
