Today, It's Gosu eSports is pleased to announce the signing of Korean Protoss player, HwangSin to its Starcraft II lineup. In doing so, It's Gosu joins a very exclusive club of North American teams which have signed top-tier Korean talent.
HwangSin is a former member of Korean based MVP, and whose most recent achievements include first place finishes in TL Opens #16 and #18.
Concerning his decision to join the It's Gosu eSports Starcraft II lineup, HwangSin said:
“I was in Korean team, but I had a bigger dream so I chose to compete alone. As I talked with people from different countries and as I streamed, I tied bonds with It's Gosu and knew I wanted to join their team. Thanks for letting me join It's Gosu, and I'll do my best for the team!”
Over the past week, HwangSin had been practicing with It's Gosu eSports, playing as many as 40 games a day with the team and forming the bonds and friendships which eventually lead to his decision.
It's Gosu Team Manager, Scott “Rumcake” Ball spearheaded the signing of the HwangSin.
“As team manager of It's Gosu eSports, I am so proud to announce the recent addition of HwangSin to our lineup,” Ball said. “He will be attending an integral part of our team composition, and will help the team succeed as a whole, not just by competing himself, but through what he will bring to our team in terms of practice and experience.”
Ball continued, praising the fact that HwangSin will not only bring his own talent to the team, but will help capitalize on the high talent level of all of his current players, as well.
“Having him as a teammate will benefit us in so many ways,” Ball said. “Having a player who understand the Korean practice mentality will allow all of our players to rise to the next level of play. We're all unbelievably excited to see HwangSin competing at all top level foreign events in the future.”
HwangSin will be attending all remaining MLG events in 2011 except for Anaheim, which he will unfortunately have to miss due to issues concerning his VISA.
It's Gosu eSports Executive Manager, Aaron “Ayesee” Chambers hailed the signing as a true turning point for It's Gosu eSports, and as a sign of the professionalism and talent within the team.
“When It's Gosu acquired All4ONE Gaming and formed our Starcraft II team, we knew without a doubt that we were adding one of the most talented teams in North America to our family,” Chambers said. “Today, the truth in that is even more obvious. Scott is an amazing team manager, and one of the most passionate men in eSports. Through his hard work, and through the hard work and dedication of each and every one of our players, It's Gosu has managed to earn recognition as one of the most important up-and-coming names in eSports, especially in North America. This has all culminated with our announcement today. We are proud and honored to have not only HwangSin as part of our team, but every other player, as well... this group of guys really is quite special, and we can't wait to show that to the world throughout the rest of 2011, and into the future.”
In his first appearance as a member of It's Gosu eSports, HwangSin will be playing in the EG Masters Cup Qualifiers taking place July 6-10, 2011.
