Yi Se-tol
    Keywords: People

Yi Se-tol (also spelt Lee Sedol) is a Korean 7-dan professional. Despite his low rank he is probably one of the top ten players in the world, perhaps even top five.

Born 2 February 1983. Considered as a player capable of catching up with or overtaking Yi Ch'ang-ho in the not too distant future.

On 3 August 2002 he defeated Yu Ch'ang-hyeok to win his first major international title, the 15th Fujitsu Cup.

On 27 March 2003 he beat Yi Ch'ang-ho 3-1 to win the 7th LG Cup. Taking into account women-only titles as well, this marked Korea's 23rd consecutive victory on the international title scene.

He was promoted to 6-dan in April 2003 and to 7-dan in May 2003 because of his strong title match results.
