Clarity Gaming is proud to announce today the acquisition of the newest player to our roster. We have been in discussions with this outstanding Zerg player for quite some time, and although we were saddened to hear of the collapse of our friend's former team we are more than happy to fulfill the promises that were broken, and then some. ManHyeok “JookTo” Jo is no stranger to Starcraft 2 competitions of the highest level, having competed in the GSL Code S before. We're very excited to be able to offer him the chance to show his play to an even wider audience through both streaming and competing around the globe.
"I am very glad to receive great expectations from Clarity Gaming I'll try to make regretless that invested my valuable times Thank you for cheering and Please keep cheering!"
In a few short days he will be making the journey to the United States where he will compete in MLG’s Fall Championship in Dallas, Texas, headlining the Clarity Gaming line-up at the event, and other LAN events stateside. You can also look forward to watching JookTo represent Clarity Gaming in the DreamHack Winter Open during November!
You can follow his progress with the team, as well as his future event participation at:
I have never heard of clarity gaming before, but if they actually have the money for a trip from korea to MLG, then that's already one step ahead of apex gaming!
Small teams gotta take risks sometimes to get their name out, no idea if they have the capability to support their whole team this well but regardless it's a great fit.

Congrats
We will have 6 players attending MLG Dallas. Following that, event attendance is merit-based so if the players practice hard and perform well, they will be supported this well.

Recent results: Mkengyn finished 2nd in the WCG Canada Online Qualifier, SaroVati just beat Fuzzy, KawaiiRice, qxc, and Trimaster in IEM Singapore qualifiers before falling to dKiller and losing 2-3 to StardustLighT.

Every team requires an owner's investment before they get sponsors. Currently we are without sponsors, so the team is privately funded. Not everybody in eSports is a broke college student
Clarity Gaming is a really awesome team! Glad for their newest recruit! Keep an eye out for these guys, they got the passion and spirit to succed! Clarity and JookTo fiiiighting!
Well, I'm glad to see new teams arrive and players getting their spots. I however never understood how didn't I manage to find someone that will help me get some good players :D
Oh wow I just realized you are sending him to Dreamhack too! That's pretty awesome for a team that's just coming onto the scene. Good luck to you guys and hopefully JookTo shows that behind close doors form that all the oGs players used to compliment in their interviews. If he is as good as they say he is he could definitely make a solid run

Haven't had a chance to reply yet what with all of the power outages but I wanted to yet again express how happy and proud we are to welcome Jookto to our family. Can't wait to see you at Dallas!
No offense or anything, but he really hasn't been relevant for a long time. Good for him, but still, are people still expecting something of Jookto? What results has he had recently?

He just won MotM less than a month ago? Qualified for the last 2 Code As? I don't know, that's better than a lot of people can say right now.
jookTo is currently in Dallas eating breakfast with Adama (Team owner), Virgil (General Manager), cSiphonn, cShew, cEngyn (Mkengyn) and cKC. Unfortunately cKatu couldn't make it due to travel plans cancelled as a result of the hurricane. Cheer on the boys at MLG! Plenty of video/photo footage to come in the next few days
Whoa, I never even heard of Clarity gaming. This is like two news posts in one lol . Interesting that Koreans are going into so many different foreign teams.
