This past couple of months have been an interesting set of months to say the least. With anticipation of “Heart of the Swarm” release; Very few tournaments and even less show matches now that beta has been kibosh-ed Puts us kind of a limbo stage where its back to the drawing board.

Today I would like to let the startcraft community know that we have whipped up a new formula that shows much promise to us here at Under Rated and will give us an opportunity to come out with a powerful punch. New players on the team, Internal changes including a new ambitious player manager.

Many say that it's going to be like hitting the reset button on how things are going to be and that makes it no different to us, a look at our new roster.

The Regulars:
Julius “Solo” Buck – Manager
Jared “Aurex” Hiebert – Protoss and Team Captain
Byron “MangoFreeze” Sha – Protoss
Brian “PeaKnuckles” Chu – Protoss
Sean “YelloOw” Nguyen – Protoss
Sae Heum “Mattbellamy” Han – Terran
Christopher “Dime” Dewey – Terran
Pierre “Red” Lamarche – Zerg

Our Newest Signings with thier statements:
Valdan”Kalinov” Vandemark- Protoss
+ Show Spoiler +
I'm very excited and thankful to be a part of this organization. When initially meeting with Pat (CEO and Owner), as well as good friend NuBrGNi, I was very pleased to hear similarities in our goals and work ethic. The plan moving forward was exactly what I wanted to hear. I feel all aspects of the team are in great hands.


I have not been on a team since OpTiK - and am happy to get back into a team environment. Team members and management alike show dedication and drive towards being successful. Under Rated Gaming has the resources, manpower and attitude to be succesful in this endeavor.


I will do my best to put out good results and entertaining games; as well as represent UR well at all upcoming events I am able to attend. Please follow our progress, hopes for the future are HIGH!


Special thanks to Kalin "KalataBG" Kalinov, My original coach and the person who taught me how to play this game we all love.

Matt “TSN” Kemerer – Protoss
Ben “Baconology” Scudera – Zerg
+ Show Spoiler +
Awh man its cool!
Im very excited to get to train with these other great
players, I cant wait to improve with them in HOTS and
show everyone what I can do
And i'm eagerly awaiting the start of URTL S2 so i can
stomp some team league games

John “NuBrGNi” Kim- Zerg
+ Show Spoiler +
I'm really excited to be a part of Under Rated Gaming along side with my old friend and teammate, Valdan 'Kalinov' Vandemark. Upon conversing with Pat, the CEO and owner of UR Gaming really got me excited to be apart of his plans for the future.

The reason why I chose Under Rated Gaming is because anyone can have plans, but it nees to have execution. Leading OpTiK, we had the plans but the execution of these plans were never 100% which lead to hard times with financial support.
Elaborating with Pat, I knew this was the best choice for me because his plans and exectuions were spot on. His plans correctly alligned with mine and I knew we both were the missing peice for our goals.

Under Rated Gaming has welcomed me with open arms and the environment is very friendly but when it comes down to practice and business, stuff gets done around here and that is exactly why I love it here.

I'd like to thank my friends and fans that have support me time and time again.
I'd like to specially thank E-Sports Canada for helping me on this journey, making this happen around my city. Best feeling in the world when you're surrounded by people who have have the same passion as you do.

Special thanks to ESCJovian and ESCSongers, also known as Frank and Nick.
Nick and Frank have been a father figure to me and without their wisdom and support I would never been able to pull myself out of the mud and back on my feet.

I'd also like to thank Jon Quinn, without him I wouldn't have been able to go to LAN ETS. He put forth his time and money to get me up in Montreal so I can compete.

Thank you again to Under Rated Gaming for giving me the chance and with Heart of the Swarm coming out, I'm very excited to what the future has planned for us.

PS. I'd add a Eleanor Roosevelt quote in here but I'm not at a E-Sports Canada Dinner, maybe next time ^^.


A statement from the Team Manager Julius "Solo" Buck:
+ Show Spoiler +
"being a new manager and coming into a fresh team, its exciting to see the support we are getting from these great players Joining our ranks. I feel fully confident with not just our new addition but our roster as a whole to compete at a new level that under Rated wasn't able to before. As we dawn on a new Era with Heart of tthe Swarm Release i feel we are a freight train that wont be stopped"

A statement from the COO Jason "Draekan" Heppner:
+ Show Spoiler +
"I'm very happy about our new additions to our team. These new pickups really stick to our mantra of the under rated player and all of them have shown they have the skills and work ethic to take their game to the next level. I feel with these guys it makes our lineup that much stronger and I look forward to seeing them play more in our team league and other matches!"

A statement from the CEO Pat "Handfromabov" McLean:
+ Show Spoiler +
"I am very proud of what our team is becoming. Getting this caliber of talent proves we are growing in the right direction. It also shows our academy team is moving in the right direction producing talent like baconology. I really look forward to what the future holds for these players and the organization."


Thanks all for taking the time to read this and the support you have given. I hope you will continue to support us as we grow.

UR FIGHTING!!

Did you literally sign these people I've never heard of(like a contract)? Or did they just join the team?

Good luck to everyone - always nice to see new players being picked up!

What's so bad about PeaKnuckles? Guy is cheesy and all; but hey, that's what works for him. I somewhat enjoy his cool playstyle haha, so I don't get what the bad hype is about this guy. Seems fairly cool.
