Squirtle joins LG-IM http://www.thisisgame.com/board/view.php?viewtype=pc&category=13438&id=1461274 … #SC2 #GSL




http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/Squirtle formerly on http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/StarTale joined http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/Incredible_Miracle . He was teamless since January 13th.

You can follow him on twitter at twitter.com/LGIMSquirtle

We, LG-IM, are proud to announce that we have recruited Squirtle, Park Hyun Woo, to our team roster for the Starcraft 2 Team. Squirtle is a GSL Code S Runner up in the 2012 season.

On the 25th, LG-IM through a press release has stated, "We have recruited Squirtle who has been undergoing activities independently." Recently, Squirtle has left StarTale and has been active on his own as he is pushing the limits of the Protoss Power in preparation for the launch of Heart of the Swarm.

Park Hyun Woo, advanced Protoss player, has been consistently participating in the GSL Code S since he became the runner up for the GSL Season 2. His results have been very good in the individual leagues as well as team leagues. He is also the first to do an all-kill in the GSTL leagues.

As he joined LG-IM, Squirtle has stated, "As I have been in search for a new team, I have realized the importance and preciousness of practicing, thus I want to regain my lost abilities and put it to focus."

He has expressed his feelings that with Choi Yong Hwa, Kang Hyun Woo, Jang Min Chul, and Ahn Sang Won by his side, they will become good practice partners and comrades as the launch of Heart of the Swarm becomes one step closer.

On another note, he expressed his gratitude towards Coach Kang Dong Hoon who took him in. He wishes to repay them by practicing harder than ever before and bringing in good results.

Coach Kang Dong Hoon states, "We are very glad to have recruited Park Hyun Woo. Due to this, LG-IM will now have an even more stronger and powerful Protoss line up. Park Hyun Woo has similar powerful synergy's with the current Protoss players. So I am positive, he will bring forth a new aura. Please give him your support."


Park Hyun Woo, Squirtle, will be officially playing for LG-IM starting the 27th in the Hot 6ix GSL Season 1 Code A Round 3. Stay IMed for news!

Dear god...it's true.

IM has the most insane protoss lineup we've ever seen, which is funny as historically they had a weak protoss lineup until they all suddenly decided to kick ass together. I guess IM is as close as he could get to a Kespa team's bank and I'm really surprised IM got him. This is definitely their biggest acquisition ever, they almost always only pick up the small fries and raise them, never guys who were almost gsl champions.

If IM doesn't win GSTL this time, they should just give up
