We are very excited to announce that FnaticMSI will from now on have its own Academy team from South Korea. The new project is aimed to develop talented players from Korea who haven't had the chance to show their true potential to the scene.

With FnaticMSI's knowledge and experience in eSports and the players' talent we are sure to form some world-class players to climb to the top of the Starcraft 2 leagues.

At the start of this project the players will participate in several online tournaments such as ZOTAC Cups, Go4SC2 and the TL Open. Once they can show FnaticMSI successful results they may receive an opportunity to join our A-team. This will not only open doors for our Academy players, but also our A-team players who will get to know different play-styles and tactics. In the end it will pay off for the whole FnaticMSI Starcraft 2 division and will be a huge chance for everyone.

On the next page you will get to know the three players better; who are the current FnaticMSI Academy team? We also added replaypacks for you.

FnaticMSI's General Manager Elroy Pinto added a statement about our Academy team:

"Today we begin a new chapter in StarCraft 2 in FnaticMSI. We are happy to welcome 3 talented Korean amateurs into our team. Thanks to efforts of Vestige and Brian we find oursevles taking up this project where we look to develop the untapped talent available in South Korea. August, Skit & Porigo will be joined by some more players in the coming months. We are looking forward to their progress and are very sure that they will perform to the highest standard needed to compete internationally and we will be there to support them right from their first baby steps! Please give them a warm welcome and a big thanks to MSI, SteelSeries, EIZO & RaidCall for their support on this."

Additional statements from the team members can be seen HERE.

Snot bad at all. I got me the terran player pack, maybe I can break the code finally to those bugs I am overrun with daily.

Nope. He'll stay in the US for a few more months I believe.

Awesome news, look forward to a new season of GSTL Don't think I have seen anything involving Porigo or Link(since he switched to Zerg) but, Skit was featured against Destiny and he did very well.
