NuBrGNi joins vVv Gaming

Kim has shown an impressive level of professionalism, passion and dedication which makes him a perfect fit for our newly launched Experience Initiative program. He has exceeded all of our expectations in terms of community engagement, social media activity and vVv culture understanding. He gets it and I'm excited to see him work at his goals and passions with the community's support.

I know we've had a rough transition into SC2 so far, however with our newly refined sponsorship structure and strategy, I feel confident that 2013 will be a strong year for our Starcraft division. Be sure to keep an eye out on vVv-Gaming.com for more exciting announcements and partnerships!

Good morning John, thanks for your time. Can you tell me a little about yourself?

"Good morning Brian. My name is John Kim, and I was born in Seoul, South Korea in August of ’92. When I was 5, I moved to Canada and have lived here ever since. I am the former CEO of Team OpTiK, but I stepped down because I really want to focus on improving as a player rather than spending all of my time on administrative duties. I play Zerg on NA as vVvNuBrGNi."

So, what made you choose vVv?

"Well, I was really impressed with the management’s commitment to the team. When a team has been around for 5 years, you know that they’re doing something right. I’ve also heard about the friendly and inviting community, and a strong community is something I’m very interested in."

What are you trying to accomplish with vVv?

"My goal with vVv is to become that person on the main stage of MLG that everyone is cheering for. I want to show to all my fans that hard work and dedication WILL prevail even after many of life's speed bumps. It's all about how you get over them. I know my fans and friends have seen me through the worst and the best, they still stuck by me and believed in my talent, so here is my first step to repay them for all of the support."

You’ve been hanging around vVv for a little while. What are you impressions so far?

"I have to be honest, when I first started hanging around vVv, I was a bit shy. I felt like it might be tough to break into such a tight knit community. When I decided to dive in head first, I found that the community welcomed me with open arms and more! It was an amazing experience! If you haven’t had the chance to hang out with these people, I highly recommend it. They're honestly the nicest and hardest working people I've ever met. This is why I feel like I belong here, the dedication everyone puts into their games; it's uplifting."

Any words for your fans?

"To my fans, I love you all. I know after everything you've seen me go through, it's amazing how I'm still here and where I am right now. There is only one path from here and that is forward. I'd like to thank my fans personally, my friends who've kept faith in me, and, finally, a very special thank you to vVv Gaming for giving me this tremendous opportunity to make my dream that seemed so distant for so long, a reality."

Thanks John!

"Thank you!"
