AZUBU Korea announced that it has joined eSports Federation (eSF) on January 12th.

AZUBU, who recently established its StarCraft 2 team, will soon begin their campaign in the Heart of the Swarm GSTL preseason. By joining eSF, AZUBU will be able to manage its team as they prepare to start their main activities for 2013 GSTL.

Team representative Mr. Shin Jae Hak commented about joining eSF, saying, “We are very happy to join eSF. We will dedicate ourselves to build a strong e-sports culture with fellow eSF teams, and will try our best to become the best gaming team out there.”

StarCraft 2 team manager Mr. Kim Jung Gon added, “We expect to create many partnerships with various teams in Korea. We wish to lead the ‘eSports Hallyu’ with them.” AZUBU SC2′s head manager Lim said, “We believe eSF and AZUBU can do many things together. We expect nothing but a win-win scenario from this.”

AZUBU is an e-sports focused corporation that just recently established its premiere StarCraft 2 team led by manager Lim, coach Byun, and manager Lee, and consisting of twelve players including Genius, Bbong, Symbol, SuperNoVa and Eve.

“We welcome AZUBU joining eSF,” the federation proclaimed, “and we will provide relentless administrative support to players for GSTL and foreign tournament participation.”

With the addition of AZUBU to the lineup of current eSF teams (FXOpen, StarTale, MVP, Prime, NSH, LG-IM), the number of teams part of the federation is now seven. As a member of eSF, AZUBU will participate in IPL seed selection for eSF and GSTL preseason.

Glad to hear it, Azubu is looking beastly and the eSF could use more muscle in these days when their teams feel like they're dropping left and right.
Stop exploding, you cowards!

Hmm... Kinda expected this, since I didn't think AZUBU would bow its sovereignty to Kespa. Interesting at any rate.

The other side has such a great view though.


Good for eSF getting another team into the organization.

Dang, this is pretty cool for eSF and definitely seems to bode well for this 'side' of Sc2 teams in Korea.

IPL6 still has some unannounced seeds. It could be that they will ask eSF teams to each name 1 player from their roster that they want seeded.

Any news on Axiom?
Everyone left over is a member of the OP race and you have to figure out which one of them is the least OP. - CosmicSpiral

Axiom (and Acer) is entirely foreign run and owned. It doesn't really have a korean management like FXO does, so I wouldn't expect them to ever join the ESF...?

Would be interesting to have a proper foreign representative in either the ESF or KeSPA, though.

Meh. SlayerS never joined the eSF, and with what happened between SlayerS and the eSF, I don't expect Axiom to.
