"After the departure of Golden from the team, LighT eSports has been looking for a new member to strengthen its roster. Today, we are happy to announce the newest member of our family, Son “Sson” Seok Hee. Sson, formerly known as M18M and StarDust was a professional Brood War player and is the first KeSPA pro to be joining a non Korean team.
Playing for Air Force ACE, Seok Hee made the switch to Starcraft 2 in May of 2012, winning his first televised pro match against RorO. He played in the KeSPA OSL Preliminary, getting to the finals of his bracket, defeating Reality and Jaedong before losing 1-2 to Classic in the final, barely missing the Dual Tournament.
Seok Hee recently finished his military service and is looking to embark on a new journey as a professional gamer – his aspirations are to become one of the best players in the world. His passion for the game is unmatched and he will work hard to improve his skills and show that he can compete with GSL and KeSPA players alike. The addition of StarDust to the roster will bolster our roster for team leagues as well as individual tournaments, and you can expect to see him stream his games and practice sessions as well as participate in LAN events throughout the world. Please welcome Son Seok Hee to the team and follow his results, we are truly happy to add such a wonderful player to the roster.
Sson has this to say about joining his new team: "Hi, I am Son Suk Hee aka M18M StarDust from KESPA Air Force ACE (ex Samsung Khan). First of all, I am much obliged to LighT eSports for prompt recruitment. Even if I don’t have good career yet. After military service, I am consider a wide range of possiblilities for my life. And then I think "Let's back to the basics and start work with a renewed mind" so I decided go to oversea for new challenge. At that time, I set in touch with LighT eSports and talk with owner several times. As a result, I think that LighT eSports really awesome. I can decide join this team. I don’t have any career on SC2 now but since now I will become more and more better. Slowly but Surely. Again Thank LighT eSports for confidence and decision."
Xeris also released a statement about the new member: “I was very sad to see Golden leave the team, but I am happy to have such a great new addition. After talking with Son, I know he’s going to be a great fit in the team personality-wise, and a player with such a long history of pro-gaming experience will definitely help all of our young players. I feel confident that here he will have all the tools necessary to reach his potential and I look forward to seeing him grow over the next few months!”"

M18M is a great pickup by a foreign team.
|
He have beaten Flash twice before.
|
So awesome, can't wait to see how he does!
|
You guys know MVP? Yeah he took a game off of flash.
This guy took 2 and even has a positive winrate!
|
amazing player... this was the guy that Air Force ACE would send out to snipe Flash whenever they faced KT Rolster in the Proleague matches... I think he's like 2 for 2 or something against Flash. Very promising player, hope he delivers.
|
oh nice. M18M had some really good games.

His military service ended, so he automatically left the team.

Ah I see. Too bad though. I'll miss his games vs Flash

M18M gonna continue to bring us exciting and innovative Stargate play into SC2. This is an exciting pickup. He's one of my favorite KeSPA players in SC2, especially after the mass Stargate shenanigans against RorO during his first SC2 game.

He can still play Flash, just SC2 instead.

Sorry but ByuL is the first, not M18M. Nice pickup though.
