DarkHydra (one of the players competing in this weeks HomeStory Cup IV) has joined Team Acer to compete alongside ParanOid, Nerchio, Osho and elfi. He is a fifteen year old Terran player from Germany and is in a group at HSC IV alongside JYP, DarkFoRcE and BlinG.

Statement from Team Acer:

+ Show Spoiler +
Team Acer is thrilled to announced a new addition to the Team Acer StarCraft II family in the form of Christian 'Acer | DarkHydra' Luftner. Christian, a young StarCraft II talent is an individual in who we have high confidence in and expect to develop even more in the future. Although he is only 15 years old he has already reached a great skill level with a lot of potential to become one of the best players in Europe. Team Acer will do our best to support Christian on his way to the top and we want to provide him the best possible home and support. We will fully support his StarCraft II career and we are looking forward to seeing him win his first major tournaments in the future.

His first event for Team Acer will be at the Homestory Cup IV in Krefeld this weekend. He will fight against the Korean JYP, the British BlinG and the German WCG representative DarkFoRcE. We are happy to see Christian in action there and we hope to see exciting and succesful matches.


Statement from DarkHydra:

"I am excited that I can play for Team Acer from now on since I've already been a fan of Mondragon in Brood War. I am happy that Team Acer has provided me with this chance and has made it possible for me to be a part of this team. I hope that I can improve in Team Acer and that I can provide the team with major achievements very soon by practicing a lot. I am highly motivated and confident that I will improve very quickly in the near future. A big thanks goes to Team Acer and to all of our sponsors: Adidas, Bigfoot Networks, 4NetPlayers, NVIDIA, Roccat, Acer and to all my fans!"


Statement from Mondragon:

+ Show Spoiler +
"We are glad that we found one of the most promising talents to team up with Team Acer. Christian is a huge Terran talent and has already shown good performances in online tournaments. Within the next one or two seasons we will be able to see him participate in the German EPS most likely as well. We have huge confidence in Christian to develop extremely well and provide us with great performances in the future. We will do our best to help him improve his skill in our team and make him a better player overall. For this, he will get our full support in order to improve in the best possible way. We are happy to see him represent Team Acer in StarCraft II. Welcome to our team, Christian "

Nice to see a talent like this joining a team! GL DarkHydra!

Hope he gets the support and training to become better and not only money support. But with Mondragon as a captain it will be fine I guess

I doubt he'll do good in HSC with all the players that are going there but with that said I also hope that people don't judge him too quickly since he's still young and can learn really quickly(assuming he does poorly in HSC) I think if he keeps at it he can be a force to be reckoned with in the future.

Best of luck to him and to Acer

good pickup! played quite well in the HSC qualifier. I bet he's plenty of potential. Looking forward to his play tomorrow
Things are laid back in Unidenland. And may the road ahead be lid with dreams and tomorrows. Which are lid with dreams. Also.
