We are proud to formally unveil Convergence Gaming and its talented Starcraft II roster, which has been our labor of love for the past six months. Convergence Gaming is an organization made up of like minded gamers from North America who share a passion for a wide spectrum of competitive titles. Backed by our wonderful sponsors Kontrol Freak, Leet StartDust Off EOReality and Vague Designs we hope to grow in proportion to the already exploding eSports Scene.
Meet the Players:
Luke “Bio” Church
Bio is strong zerg player that consistently stays within the Top 25 of the North American Ladder, and reaching the Top 10 at his highest points. Coming off victories in Craftcups and 1nsanity opens as well as deep runs in IPL qualifiers Bio is poised to make many deep runs in the future. His dedication and aspirations make him the perfect fit for Convergence Gaming.
Gage “Sasquatch” DuBose
Hailing from Connecticut Sasquatch has been involved in gaming all his life. Sasquatch started his gaming career with competitive DoTA however made the switch upon the release of SCII. Having placed 1st in 4 rCraft Opens as well as other online events Sasquatch will make his live debut at MLG Providence.
Inside Thoughts:
Owner/Active CEO, Harrison "Squeegee” Kaye:
Convergence Gaming has had the honor of working with great players and other members of the eSports community. We are proud to announce our official release into the eSports scene in both Starcraft and Call of Duty. We hope to see our players succeed within their Respective Communities, but also take something with them into their daily lives and truly grow from this experience. Keep an eye out for Convergence Gaming, we are going to take the eSports world by storm!
Co-Founder/Team Manager, Matthew "Thunderz” Silvas:
As Team manager it has been my privilege to watch and help this team develop into the Amazing thing it is now. We have some of the best people working with us and playing for us and every moment has been inspiring. Im looking forward to being apart of this organization for many years as it turns into the team that eSports truly deserves.
Community
In addition to our main roster, Convergence Gaming also serves as a hub for a vibrant online community. Most of these players provide practice for the players and help provide insight to current meta-game shifts. It is because of the players Convergence Gaming is what it is today.

Wishing you guys all the best, good luck!!!!
|
Looks awesome, i can't say i'm familiar with any of these players but i'm going to snoop around and see if I can find any replays :D, best of luck in future.
P.S. it says 'Ragnarok' Twice in the full roster, not sure if this is intentional.
|
best of luck! looking forward to seeing how yall do!
|
Sounds like good stuff, but I looked at Vague Designs and didn't see you guys under the sponsors tab (but since this is a new announcement and that is understandable) but they look like a company that just does some web design for teams. How will Vague Designs and nationvoice pave the way for the expenses to send players to mlg and support a pro house?

Vague designs is one of the players web designing on the side, but its a good question.

Good luck to Sasquatch and Noobasaurus, they were on Team Skynet for 5-6 months and both have grown to be awesome players, especially Sasquatch who was a giant noobie when he came in. Hopefully they are getting what we (I) couldn't offer them, I expect to see them flourish well under a team with sponsors.
|
Congratulations to all the players! I have played Sasquatch on multiple occasions in CWs, hes a fearsome player indeed!
|
seen noobasaurus on some pro streams hes pretty good form the looks of it
|
congrats and good luck CVG ; u guys will always have my support.
nd Gez wit the best quote lol :
Convergence gaming is a team that has gathered a roster of talented players dedicated to the game. The team provides a practice environment for players to improve, share ideas, complain nonstop about how the other races are easy and how their own is hardest. I am very excited for the future of this team as we make our way onto the scene of professional Starcraft and plan to make a showing at many tournaments online and offline.

You are correct on the fact that it is a rather new announcement and no doubt our omission from the sponsor tab will be rectified shortly. They have reached out to us as more then just their standard work for teams wanting to provide additional means as a main sponsor. NationVoice follows suit in much the same manner for other outlets. Both sponsors have expressed interest in growing with the team and we look forward to working with them more in the future. Nothing in our future plans is out of reach, its just going to be a lot of hard work to get there.

Congrats, I really only recognize bio from playing him on ladder and haven't ever played the others or at least I don't think so. Good luck!
|
GL to the team!
Still sad Sasquatch can't play on our WSU csl team, but I'll definitely be rooting for him at mlg.
|
Good Luck, though I am still wondering if the plethora of NA teams might be detrimental to the scene in the long run. Sustainable business will be the judge of that I guess.

Just curious, do they pay you to google translate?
Because I would be curious on the fact that it is a rather new omission from the sponsor tab that the sponsors don't yet exist and will be rectified shortly. When they reach out as more than just their marketing work for additional profit from teams wanting to prove they provide a reason for backers let us at the NationVoice know so we can follow suit in much the same manner. Both team members that have other jobs have expressed managerial interest in growing their career and we look forward to proving that this could possibly happen in the future. Nothing in our future plans is out of dreams, its just going to be a lot of hard dreaming to wake up there.

Congrats guys! Good luck in the future!

Congrats guys. I'm glad to see at least 1 Canadain there(raine) and hes a double GM!
|
Good luck yo. New teams are always nice to see. I hope for you that the financial/management part is covered well ... that's usually what breaks the necks of teams like these.
|
I've played against Noobasaurus before. He's pretty solid. :>

Good luck. New teams are always a plus.

I like Bio. Him and I have some very colorful, interesting, and fun talks with each other on ladder :D
|
o_O that is a lot of posts of his name / account in the TL hacker database...
|
i Think Pandemic's reputation of being a hacker is proven he isnt one? i believe he got letters of apology from team liquid about the accusations.
that's what i heard when i asked CVG about him.
|
Congrats to you guys. Glad to see you're going forward with the team.
Unfortunately Raine will be joining IMBA's A-Team 
|
GL to the team gowser and sasquatch are really good.
|
all these guys are great..except raine. never really heard of that bro b4 xd
|
Good luck in starting up the team. Should play vVv some time 
|
complain nonstop about how the other races are easy and how their own is hardest.
I would be a perfect fit for this team.

New member recruited : Proxima

OH OH! I totally played a game of SotIS with Cheeseypoofs once! He was really good and quite friendly for a SotIS game.

That statement isnt true in the slightest. Vague Designs is a design team based out of Australia that does designs for multiple teams in other communities. As for them having any association to us prior to our sponsorship is totally false. No one on our team owns or works for them.

Congratulations on forming and good luck to you guys in the future!

More teams is definitely what we need. This means more sponsors and more money poured towards the players and coaches and therefore more players get to train to become better. For the eSports scene to grow we need more.
