Jung "Jjakji" Ji Hoon is a Korean professional StarCraft 2 Terran player who plays for New Star HoSeo.

Wings of Liberty

Jjakji managed to qualify for 2010 Sony Ericsson Starcraft II Open Season 2 where he lost to Zenio in the Ro64. He was unable to qualify for GSL again and went unseen for around 6 months before he made an appearance in 2011 Global StarCraft II Team League Season 1. In decisive fashion, Jjakji all-killed FXOpen e-Sports.

He qualified for 2011 Global StarCraft II League August, defeating Junwi in his final preliminary match. He then went on an impressive winning streak beating two promising Zergs, Luvsic and Lucky, without dropping a set. His first run through Code A would finally end in the Round of 8, losing a close 1-2 to MarineKing. In the Up and Down Matches, Jjakji tied with Check and LosirA for first in the group with a score of 3-1. After two playoff rounds, Jjakji and LosirA emerged the victors of the two Code S spots.

Code S

Jjakji debuted in Code S in GSL October, in which he managed to place third in his group, failing to advance, but keeping his Code S spot for the next season.

During the 2011 GSL November, Jjakji was defeated by Killer then won against SuperNoVa and Virus in the Round of 32. With the score of 2-1, he would advance into the Round of 16 for Code S.In the round of 16 he would be placed in the same group as Mvp and GuMiho after the fourth player in the group CoCa withdrew from Code S following his involvement in a match fixing scandal. He would lose to Mvp but defeat GuMiho to secure second place in his group yet again to qualify for the round of 8. After showing strong TvP in his Ro8 and semi final games against Puzzle and Oz winning 3-0 and 3-2 respectively, he defeated Leenock 4-2 in his first GSL finals.

In the 2012 GSL Season 1 Code S Jjakji lost to GanZi but defeated Sen and BoxeR to enter the Round of 16. In that round he was grouped with PartinG, MC, and, once again, GanZi. After losing to PartinG, Jjakji was able to beat GanZi this time around, but only to be faced up against PartinG once more. Unable to beat PartinG, Jjakji fell down to Code A where he faced Virus.

In the second Code S Season of 2012, he would defeat TaeJa, but then lose to TheStC. In the final match, this time he would lose to TaeJa. He placed 3rd in the group, falling down to Code A with the previous champion DongRaeGu.

Code A

After getting back to Code A in 2012 GSL Season 1, Jjakji was able to quickly qualify back to Code S after defeating Virus 2-0.

Outside Korea

Jjakji was invited to compete in the IPL Fight Club showmatch series against Nerchio. He managed to defeat him, but succumbed to HerO the following week.

He also competed in the IPL Tournament of Champions, defeating Kas, Polt, ThorZaIN, and Creator in order to secure first place, along with $5,000 dollars.
