Who won the StarCraft tournament at the first World Cyber Games in 2001?

Lim Yo-hwan won the StarCraft tournament at the first World Cyber Games in 2001. The South Korean professional player, widely known by the alias SlayerS_'BoxeR', became one of the defining figures of early competitive StarCraft.

The 2001 World Cyber Games were held in Seoul, South Korea, and included StarCraft among their esports competitions. Lim's victory helped establish his international reputation during a period when televised Korean StarCraft competitions were becoming a major part of the game's competitive culture.

He is often called the Emperor of Terran because of his influential Terran play and his impact on professional strategy. He should not be confused with later Korean champions such as Lee Yun-yeol or Jang Jae-ho, who also became prominent StarCraft players but did not win this specific inaugural World Cyber Games StarCraft title.
