ByuL is not joining Evil Geniuses, but LG-IM. It was revealed by Fnatic General Manager Elroy Pinto via Twitter.

Damn, I waited so long for IM to pick up one of these countless Korean ballers, but I didn't expect it to be Byul. I'm sure he will improve extremely fast, just like everybody on the team does. Also Losira getting a bit of backup for GSTL is nice, since NesTea isn't really performing in teamleagues.

IM fighting!

I miss the days when LosirA was really good.

That said, ByuL is a sick beast and it's pretty obvious to me that this will benefit both him and IM greatly. Hwaiting~~

I haven't seen anything posted by them yet, the Korean teams don't like to make big announcements.

This pickup is kind of weird, LG-IM almost never recruits players. I believe before Byul's pickup their last one was in September last year with Fenix. Either way he fills a hole in the teams Zerg lineup for team leagues well, so this is good.

Any announcement would be nice. Although I think it would be good for the teams if they did a little more announcements, not necessarily big, just a press release or something. Finding out via Twitter and such can lead to "distorted misinformation" or the like.

Good for LG-IM, hope both teams continue to do well.

Nah, last was First way earlier this year, somewhere between January and February. Which is still ages ago naturally.

Byul is a really strange pickup though, for sure. O-o Not sure what I think of it.

Oh yeah you're right, for some reason I was thinking First had always been there.

I also just realized Byul is the one who 4 killed them in one of the recent GSTL seasons, he also just knocked MMA into Code B.

Which is really bad and kinda weird. IM have really tried to market themself recently and yet they still don't say a single word about a new player. Someone should tell them this gets people hyped and closer to the teams. It's really not that hard to make a tweet, post something on TL or whatever. :D

ByuL has so much to gain from this transfer, and does LG-IM.

Being able to learn from NesTea, mvp, and Seed will give him so much insight to his matchups and general gameplay. And LG gets one of the best players out there on the market right now.

Strong pickup by LG-IM, good to see them bolstering their Zerg lineup. Between Nestea and Losira, they needed some new blood to freshen things up in that department.

Terrific pickup. LG-IM could really use another zerg to their roster.

Well NesTea recommended ByuL to Hwanni and that's how he was able to join fnatic in the first place. Cool move. GL ByuL!

that's fantastic! I didn't expect LGIM to pick up any more players because they're such a huge team already but there's no better team to have such a huge organization. They have the funds, the manager and the leaders on the team to do it.

here's hoping TSL, Prime and MVP can soon find a big sponsor and join ST and IM among the ranks

Fuuuuuuck. Byul joins currently the strongest SC2 team.
You should not have to pay to watch the GSL, Proleague, or OSL at a reasonable time. That is not "fine" and it's BS to say otherwise. My sig since 2011. http://www.youtube.com/user/dabom88

So... has there been any word from LG-IM at all about this?


I haven't seen anything posted by them yet, the Korean teams don't like to make big announcements.

This pickup is kind of weird, LG-IM almost never recruits players. I believe before Byul's pickup their last one was in September last year with Fenix. Either way he fills a hole in the teams Zerg lineup for team leagues well, so this is good.


Nah, last was First way earlier this year, somewhere between January and February. Which is still ages ago naturally.

Byul is a really strange pickup though, for sure. O-o Not sure what I think of it.


Oh yeah you're right, for some reason I was thinking First had always been there.

I also just realized Byul is the one who 4 killed them in one of the recent GSTL seasons, he also just knocked MMA into Code B.


Well they were pretty silent about the whole thing, heh. Fenix one of the few pickups they made any fuss about.


Not since though, I would love to hear more about what he is doing over there.

Regardless gratz to Byul, glad EG didn't pick him up.

I wasn't expecting IM. It's been a while (at least I think) since they picked up any new players. Sad if this is a recognition of declining skill in their current zerg roster.

Byul is a strong upcoming Zerg and thats what LG-IM needed in that moment. Nestea is struggling, but maybe he will rise again, but maybe not. Who knows. Losira and True aren't performing to their level... Best time to pick up a string Zerg!

Wow, his ZvT is going to get really good with the likes of Mvp, Yoda and Happy in the roster. Not to mention all the great tips he will probably get from the super-experienced Nestea and Losira.

I can't imagine them dropping fenix after he was the only LG-IM player at WCS finals and something else that's escaping me

Not really, Korean teams sign lots of new players all the time, just not well known ones. Foreign teams rarely sign players without notable results for whatever reason.

Indeed. Who here knew that LG-IM signed a WoW Arena team? I didn't until I saw them showed up on WCS. They are just quiet about it, SC2 or otherwise.

Once again something that makes IM's lineup look so sick for GSTL. Probably will still lose, because that's just what they do, but still.

The only missing players are Fenix, Ready and horror. It's probably just their A-Team. horror never qualified for GSL, so it's highly likely that he's just a B-Teamer. Ready hasn't even attempted to qualify for Code A for two seasons, and Fenix is also probably considered a B-Teamer, since he hasn't been around the IM house for over a year now.

I think this is a much needed addition for LG-IM. The Zerg depth wasn't there but now with Byul hopefully the Zergs can learn off eachother more and I also feel like Byul should be the goto Zerg for them in GSTL in a fair amount of situations.

IM is the only team in the world that actually needed a good zerg. My hearth bleeds seeing Losira and Nestea not play in the last months.

No. The RC tag was a mistake, both Fnatic and EG has RaidCall as a title sponsor and Gom messed it up. That`s all there is to it.

I still do think that he was wearing a "blue EG" Tshirt on that picture! Anyway that's a cool pick for LG-IM, I hope they will do better in the next GSTL!
