The former team captain for (Wiki)Quantic Gaming, the Swedish Protoss Kim "(P)SaSe" Hammar, has (temporarily) joined up with Taiwan's premier gaming association, (Wiki)Gama Bears, home to the one and only Zerg King, (Z)Sen.

http://www.esports.com.tw/news_detail.php?id=4162

The Taiwan eSports League (TeSL) is a televized league featuring three games: Kart Rider (Racing), Special Forces (Team-based FPS) and StarCraft II. It is probably more popular than other people think it is. Gama Bears have 80,000 fans on Facebook. Wayi Spider have 90,000. Pretty significant considering a team such as Evil Geniuses have half that amount. Players live in team houses, and teams often have corporate sponsors, giving a very healthy impression of the Taiwanese eSport scene.

TeSL has an exchange programme in place, whereby teams are allowed to bring in foreign players to play for them for a set amount of time. In the past, (Wiki)Wayi Spider had brought in MVP's (Z)Galaxy to play for them, whilst Thermaltake Apollos had Prime's (T)ByuN.

As clarified through his tweet, (P)SaSe will be staying in the Gamania team house for three weeks, whereby he will have the opportunity to play five televized matches.

Gama Bears roster:
Leaf (Coach)
(Z)Sen
(Z)Slam
(P)Apro
(P)Gow
YoyO
(P)SaSe
(P)Luway (Female player, not listed on the league website, so I'm not sure if she's a pro)

Interesting. But I thought the teams in the Taiwan E-sports League followed a draft format? How was he able to get recruited without entering a draft?

Ah, that explains it.
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

They have some sort of procedure/policy on foreign players. Galaxy was playing for Wayi Spider, and apparently ByuN played for Thermaltake Titan.

Nice Sase! Got himself some mercenary work, that's pretty cool as a foreigner, since they have a huge variety of cheap korean players they could've chosen .

Edit: Sadly that means no Sase at HSC .
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

Brief translation:

Foreign Protoss player Sase has registered with Gaba Bears' Starcraft II roster, and will play for Gama Bears starting from their game vs YoeIronmen on December 22nd, till Wayi Spider vs Gama Bears on January 6th, 2013, which means 3 weeks and 5 official televised matches, marking him the foreign player to play for the longest time in TeSL.

The rest are just Sase's bio.

Holy shit, I don't know the exact TeSL team league format, but Gama Bears should be freaking unstoppable now.

Congrats to Sase and even more so to Gama Bears.

Proably you want to change the title to something like - Sase playing for Gama bears, rented to them or whatever, since he isn't going to be official part of the team
Hell, it's about time

Well that's pretty cool, I guess. You don't see much collaboration between the Taiwanese/Chinese scene and everybody else.

Wonder if this is due to him being able to speak mandarin, and thus no(or little) language barrier?

Sase is cool, GB are cool. We don't hear much news about Sase, we don't hear much news about GB. Seems like a good fit!

Seriously though, sounds like a neat arrangement, and it's always nice when there's a little contact with the Taiwanese scene from the outside. Hope he has a fun run there!
