Fenix has been signed to team IM!


Link to the Korean article from TIG where IM head coach confirms: http://www.thisisgame.com/board/view.php?id=755368&category=13438 and the translation here (GSTL spoiler within):

Peruvian terran Jian Carlo Morayra (IM, hereafter Fenix) has joined IM.

IM's head coach Kang Dong-hoon announced Fenix's signing immediately after the F.United-oGs GSTL match. Fenix has been playing without a team after his contract with Fnatic ended recently.

Fenix appeared in the GSTL match wearing a Googims Company (IM's uniform sponsor) shirt. While it was not IM's official uniform it shared the same design. The secret behind his outfit was none other than "joining IM".

IM's head coach said "Fenix recently entered our team house and saw he was all right after watching him practice. I rate his willingness to learn, high level of understanding of what he is being taught and the fact he constantly analyzes replays very highly. Also, he really wanted to join IM."

The effect of joining IM was profound. In the match against oGs, he defeated Luvsic and TheSTC to claim 2 kills [Translator Note: In spite of what the article said above, the article itself was posted before the match actually finished]. Not only did he achieve a good result but his actual match performance was also outstanding. He demonstrated greatly improved skill in only a few days. [T/N: The few days since entering the IM team house]

Head coach Kang Dong-hoon intends to use Fenix as the spearhead for IM's expansion into the foreign arena. "By training Fenix heavily and consistently entering him into foreign tournaments we will make the IM brand more well known. We will operate a foreign expeditionary squad consisting of NesTea-Mvp-LosirA-Fenix."

In other news, IM's head coach is also considering signing players from Europe/North America and supposedly is actually in contact with such a player.


Secondary translation by saldaga- here:

+ Show Spoiler +
Peru terran Jean Carlo Moreira (IM, ID:Fenix) joined IM.

On September 1st, IM's head coach Kang Dong-Hoon revealed that Fenix joined IM immediately after the GSTL match between F.United and oGs. Fenix was a free agent for a while after his contract with fnatic ended not too long ago.

Today, Fenix competed in the GSTL while wearing a shirt with a Googim's Company(IM's sponser) logo on it. Even though Fenix was not wearing the official IM uniform, the shirt had similar designs in color and style. The meaning behind the shirt was 'joined IM'.

IM headcoach Kang Dong Hoon stated that '(Fenix) joined the practice house a few days ago and I thought it was a good fit watching him practice with the team.' He also mentioned that Fenix has a great understanding when it comes to learning and sharing ideas, and Fenix's habit of constantly rewatching replays gave the him a good impression. Fenix really wanted to join IM.

The effect of joining IM was great. Fenix managed to 3 kill in the final match against oGs. Not only was the 3 kill great, but the context of the matches was impressive as well. He showed incredible skills in only a few days.

The IM coach is planning on using Fenix in foreign tournaments from now on. He said, 'While constantly sending Fenix abroad to compete in foreign tournaments, we will make the IM team known all around the world. IM will make an expedition group that consists of IMNestea, IMMvP, IMLosira, and IMFenix to compete in foreign tournaments.'

Meanwhile, the IM coach is currently considering to recruit North American and European progamers in addition to IMFenix, and it is revealed that the IM coach is pursuing a progamer right now.


Congratulations to Fenix and to team IM! This is so huge! Fenix is the first big name foreigner to join a Korean team in SC2, and he couldn't have made a better debut for his new team, as (GSTL Spoiler):

+ Show Spoiler +
He went 3-0 tonight taking out an oGs player from each race, including the "impenetrable" TheSTC and the final boss MC, winning the match for his team!


Awesome pick-up and we'll be looking forward to what comes from this! Somebody at Fnatic might be kicking themself right now!

Also interesting to consider is SaSe, a top class foreigner who also happens to be teamless in Korea right now! Could IM have their eye on him? And what about this "foreign expeditionary squad consisting of NesTea-Mvp-LosirA-Fenix." which indicates continued, if not increased Korean dominance over foreign events! Ouch!

This is a great opportunity for Fenix. He must have impressed some people at IM with his games against TSL. I hope to see more of him in the future!
EDIT: And continuing to impress in the GSTL, Fenix fighting!

Well I guess now that WMF has disbanded that they have to train with other teams. If he has actually joined IM though that's pretty huge

He said "new" and "Team" with a capital T. Plus, there are the legal concerns voiced in the OP.

This would be an amazing career high for Fenix and I am sure we would see his skill level rocket. This would also make him the first foreigner to join a Korean team in SC2.

Actually Torch joined ST a few months back.

Thanks for the torch mention - I edited the op to address that. As a player, torch is basically a no-name, and he is no longer with them. And when I say no-name, I mean that he is, for example, worse than a previously unheard of player like TriMaster.

Torch wasn't a noname in beta-early release, I actually messaged him on facebook and he said he doesn't play anymore because he is employed full time at GOM.

Clearly IM, the pro SC2 team with pro players sees something in him that you don't.
