Seems they had a nightmare of a problem putting together video two, and still haven't figured out video one. It's pretty amazing.

P.S. I think Kim won game two as well. Prize is 50,000$ to first place and 10,000 to second (?).

Sedol has also lost 3 games in a row recently to Park Jungwhan, two of which were in the maxim cup final. It seems his condition is not so good right now.

Actually, before recent GS Caltex Cup and Maxim Cup finals Lee Sedol had pointed out three candidates for his no.1 position in korean baduk scene: Kim Jiseok, Kang Dongyun and Park Junghwan. And now, he has already lost to two of those in the title matches. Maybe it is time for the succession of the throne, who knows? Anyway, to my eye, the last game in the series was just a good example of "how to lose a won game" by Sedol. It seems like his desicions towards the end were affected by his emotions.

The final game records and accompanying videos have been posted.

In addition to winning the 17 GS Caltex Cup, Kim Jiseok has become the first person to beat Yi Sedol 3:0 in a best 3/5 title match.

The fighting in game three erupted by move 28 and continued all the way to the end containing no less than five ko fights and over 300-moves. I hope you can enjoy this exciting blitz game as much as I did. The time limit was 10-minutes main time and 3x40-seconds byoyomi.

Ah - I thought the time limits for the GS Caltex Cup were longer... I now suspect that the game I posted here, which on the Android version of WBakuk had "SG" in the title, was also from this tournament. Interesting to see Lee Sedol playing the Chinese Opening at least twice - I thought it was out of style.
Patience, grasshopper.
