Yang "Alicia" Joon-sik (born August 1, 1987) is a retired Korean Protoss player who last played for Axiom.

Biography[edit]

Alicia had a history with RTS games before he started playing StarCraft II professionally. He played Brood War since 5th grade, but stopped playing on ladder because of the prevalent use of map hacking at the time. He claims that while playing Brood War, he had never heard of the opportunity of being drafted for a Brood War team, and so he did not know much about the professional scene at that time. He later moved on to Warcraft III, concentrating on laddering. He had intentions of going pro with Warcraft III, but his plans were blocked by the South Korean mandatory military service.

Alicia decided to try out for SlayerS clan after hearing about the auditioning tournament. He arrived an hour late, and lost to LegalMind. However, Alicia was recruited into the SlayerS clan after BoxeR and Jessica saw potential in him. Alicia eventually became teamless in October 2012, as SlayerS disbanded.[1]

On January 14, 2013, Axiom recruited Alicia as part of its new engagement in the GSTL in partnership with Team Acer.[2]

Wings of Liberty[edit]

Alicia did not qualify for the original three open seasons of the GSL, and as a result he first saw play after qualifying for GSL Code A in March 2011. His qualifications into Code A and subsequently Code S allowed him to compete in the GSL Super Tournament, where he reached the final eight as the last Protoss player in the tournament before being defeated by Polt.

Code A[edit]

During the March season, Alicia reached the semifinals, going undefeated before losing to SuperNova. This qualified him for the up/down matches where he defeated former GSL champion Mvp 2-1 to enter Code S.

Alicia was back in Code A in GSL October, where he lost 2-0 in the first round to SeleCT.

He once again qualified for Code A during GSL November.

Code S[edit]

Alicia's debut in Code S found him advancing in the top position out of his group stage, but he was defeated by LosirA in the following round. During GSL July he was bested by CoCa twice during the group stages, keeping him from advancing any further. Alicia again fail to advance past the group stage in GSL August as he went 0 - 2 in his group, being forced to play in the Up and Down Matches. There, he went 1-2 and dropped back down into Code A.

Outside Korea[edit]

Alicia participated in 2011 MLG Anaheim in the open bracket.[3] He was knocked down to the loser's bracket already in round one by ToD with a 0-2 series loss. From there, he defeated Xeris, Scanemone and Temperament, all 2-0 wins, before rematching against ToD in round four of the lower bracket. In an extended series, Alicia was defeated 2-4.[4]

On June 10, 2012, Alicia participated in the 2012 MLG Spring Championship. Alicia was placed in to Group C for this tournament. Alicia advanced in to the Championship Losers' Bracket after he got through by a score of 4-1. After taking down Monster by a score of 2-1, he advanced in to the Championship Bracket and defeated inori, PuMa, SaSe, and MarineKing in order to advance in to the finals to face DongRaeGu. He wasn't able to advance any further after he lost to DongRaeGu by a score of 1-3.

On July 22, 2012, Alicia participated in the 2012 MLG Summer Arena. Alicia was able to get very far in this tournament. Within his bracket, he took down Sasquatch, Ryung, HerO, Oz, and Oz again to advance in to the finals to face TaeJa. He lost to TaeJa by a score of 2-4 and ended up taking second place. At the 2012 MLG Summer Championship, Alicia defeated Leenock and PuMa in the group stage but lost to aLive, Leenock in the Group Stage Losers Bracket, and Heart in the Championship Loser's Bracket to take 13-16th in the tournament.
