Yesterday Karont3 announced a new player starting with the letter "C" in his account name, but against all expectations they signed the former LoL and Minecraft player Miguel Ángel “Chincheto” Salgado.

Official statement by Karont3 translated by me. My spanish nor my english is perfect so I apologize for mistakes.

Another great day for the club, today we present our third professional player on our roster. It's none other than Miguel Ángel “Chincheto” Salgado, who has decided to stop League of Legends and Minecraft to try out a career as a professional SC2 player.

After months of difficult negotiations, last weekend we came to an agreement about the monetary section of the contract.

As far as playing goes, Chincheto will live one week per month in the Moreno Durán brothers' house, to receive intensive training from Pedro "LucifroN" Moreno.

Obviously, without the help of Ozone Gaming, Versus Gamers y Twitch, it wouldn't have been possible to go through with this signing.


Original statement (spanish)
+ Show Spoiler +

Otro gran día para el club, hoy presentamos al que será nuestro tercer jugador profesional en plantilla. Y no es otro que Miguel Ángel “Chincheto” Salgado, que ha decidido dejar de lado el LoL y el Minecraft para desarrollar una carrera profesional como jugador de SC2.

Después de meses de duras negociaciones, por fin la semana pasada se llegó a un acuerdo en el apartado económico del contrato.

En el aspecto deportivo, Chincheto vivirá una semana al mes en casa de los hermanos Moreno Durán, para someterse a un entrenamiento intensivo por parte de Pedro “LucifroN” Moreno.

Evidentemente sin la ayuda de Ozone Gaming, Versus Gamers y Twitch, no hubiese sido posible realizar este fichaje.

To be honest I have also no clue who that guy is but I'm already looking forward for this guy.

But if he does well he will get adopted by the parents of Lucifron and Vortix, just to keep the SC2 super powers of Spain in the house of the Durans :D

How is someone considered a renowned Minecraft player?
I used to play random, but for you I play very specifically.

It's announced on their homepage and I don't think they are trolling.

I was giggling at the minecraft thingy too.

I think my translation skills failed there. He's going to stay in their house for 1 week every month.

Today was the Spanish April Fools Day, so this announcement shouldn't be taken seriously.
