[edit] Overview

Dmytro "DIMAGA" Filipchuk is a Ukrainian Zerg player that currently plays for mTw Mindfactory. Dimaga (Димага) is a slang form of Dmytro (Дмитро).

[edit] Biography

Born in Chernivtsi City (Ukraine), he is a former Brood War player most notable for taking 1st place at WCG Ukraine in 2008.

[edit] In Beta

During the StarCraft 2 Beta, DIMAGA was positioned in the Platinum League(Division 4), ranked second with a record of 152-59.[1]

DIMAGA enjoyed massive success during the beta. Winning one of each running major weekly tournament by employing a dangerous, aggressive style heavily focusing on Banelings. As a reward for his success, he was invited to Day[9]'s King of the Beta tournament. At the end of beta, DIMAGA was invited to join mTw as a sponsored player.[2]

[edit] Wings of Liberty

As the game launched, DIMAGA immediately continued his successful play with two successive victories in first two Wednesday Go4SC2 ESL cups beating SarenS and Socke respectively. The victory over SarenS not only granted him the prize money, but also qualified him for the IEM Season V - Global Challenge Cologne, the first major live StarCraft 2 event in Europe. DIMAGA qualified first in his group after defeating SarenS and Lucifron 2-1 but losing 0-2 to Hasuobs. He defeated team-mate DeMusliM in the quarter-finals before losing 3-2 to MorroW. He went on to take third after defeating Tarson 3-1 in the 3rd place game. He won many fans during the events with his passionate personality and strong Zerg play, focusing on Banelings and swarming his opponent.

Although staying primarily in smaller European events, DIMAGA would defeat SjoW and Naama to qualify as part of the World All Stars team sent to Korea to compete in the 2011 GSL World Championship. There he would be the final foreigner to play in the Korea vs World matches, with July beating four players in a row. DIMAGA managed to hold, beating both July and Mvp, before falling to NesTea in the ace match. He would later get his revenge in the main tournament, becoming the first player to beat NesTea in a televised ZvZ match. Although he would be eliminated in the Round of 8, 1-3 by San, DIMAGA would be the only foreigner to defeat a Korean player in a best of 3 series.

DIMAGA won the Assembly Summer 2011 in Helsinki. On his way to his first championship at a major live tournament he beat players like MaNa, Stephano and TLO.

DIMAGA managed to qualify for Blizzcon 2011 as one of the representatives from the Russian server. He would play KiLLeR in the first round and beat him 2-1, and then fall to SeleCT in the following round, 0-2. In the lower bracket, DIMAGA would play three matches, beating Brat_OK and TooDming before falling to NaNiwa, 0-2.

DIMAGA was invited to ASUS ROG Stars Invite, where he was eliminated in the first round in a tied series against SeleCT. However, DIMAGA played two showmatches at this event. He beat HuK 2-0 and lost to White-Ra 1-2.

[edit] Trivia

  • Abused in the TeamLiquid Starleague 2 resulting in a ban on competing in TeamLiquid events until December 2010 and from competing in TSL3. [3]
