mYinsanity is excited to announce the addition of the Korean protoss Son "StarDust" Seok He to the Starcraft 2 International roster. The former LighT eSports and Starcraft Brood War player will stay in the mYinsanity Gaming House and therefore start a whole new journey in his career, this time in Europe. His most recent achievement was winning the ESET Winter Masters in Germany, winning the final over ESCGoOdy with a 4-1 score. Arriving in Europe, StarDust has declared his goal; to win a major Starcraft 2 championship.
StarDust, also known as M18M, was able to beat Flash twice in televised matches back in Starcraft Brood War. Representing both Samsung KHAN and the Airforce ACE Team in the Korean Proleague, he was a very successful Brood War player. In January this year, StarDust was able to win the ESET Winter Masters, taking out kauP, Strelok and finally GoOdy in the grand final. Only 2 months later LighT eSport disbanded, forcing him to search a new team.
This search lasted until now, when he finally found a Team which meets his needs.
Son "StarDust" Seok He's Statement:
Hello guys, I'm Stardust AKA M18M/SSon. A few months ago I was playing for Team LighT eSport. While living in NA I realized that EU has more tournaments, both online and offline, and in January I played the ESET Masters so I could go to Germany. After winning the ESET Masters, I decided I needed to go to EU. Finding a team is so hard, and finally after 3 months I got an offer from mYinsanity through Wilko (thanks!). To be honest, I've never heard of mYi, but Sage told me Wilko was trustworthy. I'm very happy to have finally found a team and joined mYinsanity. My goal is simple: To win a major tournament like Dreamhack or WCS. Please support me! Thanks so much.
We're looking forward to welcome him in the Team house and are extremely proud, to have such a renowned player in our lines. We wish you, StarDust, the best of luck with your new journey and hope to experience a lot of happy and successful moments with you. Also we would like to thank all our fans and partners for supporting us on our way; we hope you will cheer for us the upcoming months.

He's got a long way until becoming FlaSh killer again, if he's gonna lose to ToD. (not that ToD isn't awesome)
Anyway nice pick-up, I think he'll do quite well in the European scene.
|
Stardust is such a nice guy. Hope he will reach what i wants to archive!
|
Sick pickup, can't go wrong with a former bw pro
|
Fojod really hope this works out. It is almost certainly a great move.

YOu have to think of the lag he had from korea. I think with a good eu ping he will play allot stronger

I've been waiting for Stardust to get signed for a looooong time. One of my favorite players since his sky toss win back in hybrid PL against Roro, and then meeting him at MLG Dallas. Stardust is he man.
|
good pick, strong player.
|
Welcome to the family, Stardust
|
The first time you will see him in action will propably be this friday!
|
Awesome! Looking forward to seeing much more of mYi in the scene!
|
Welcome to our family Stardust
|
I expect the whole mYi roster residing in Bern, to show up for a BarCraft in Zurich from time to time :D
|
if he renamed himself back to M18M i would cared more, i didnt knew it was him ... gogogo m18m and your new nick is .,.. not epic xD

He used to be top NA ladder before moving to EU. I thought he's gonna break out much earlier, then i thought he's never gonna get awesome and now i'm really happy for him ! Too bad JD continues his dong legacy tho :/
|
Great timing for myinsanity to pick him up. Congratz to Stardust on his dreamhack win.
|
Wow, that investment paid off FAST lol.

I always hope the best for progamers getting signed, but it seems like everyone who has been through AirForce Ace really struggles with playing at a high level, so we can just cross our fingers.
|
Now that the LighT curse is off his shoulders he will be #1 I'm sure.
|
|
lol that was fast. Awesome!

Good guy , seems very happy to win too (which we don't always see).
As a Zerg there is only a very few toss I like , StarDust is now on that list.
Hope he wins more in the future !
Edit: his force fields and sentry count is fking terrifying.

That apart, was great to see Stardust's run, took out some really good players
|
I am a big fan of this guy. His style will get shut down by banelings bombs and maybe swarm host (?). But if HerO, Rain, SoS and Parting look at this guy and Stardust looks at the styles used by those. Protoss will find solid builds.
|
lol at first i thought they signed him after he won dreamhack and realized this thread is a month old
talk about setting goals and achieving them quickly lolololol
|
Yeah that was rather quick ...

Owner of mYi should invest in stock. He is magical when it comes to predictions!
|
So fast! Good luck! He's really good! "Best Protoss"
|
It's funny that it was the same case with MaNa, he went full time a month before dreamhack and his goal was to win a big tournament LIKE DH. And he won the same tournament as StarDust, DH Summer. Let's see if that pattern repeats next year !

I dont think he can compete with SoS but he put on a real good show the only problem was that every game he played in the finals he went an allin. It seems like that toss is still not really able to win straight up macro games and they always have to use allins to win a major tournament i mean in a best of 5 using allins is nothing bad but he tried to allin every game even the game on akilon he started adding 5 gateways and wanted to push him.

That's just how the metagame shapes itself. When Terran/Zerg has really powerful midgame and lategame stages to it, Protoss will use earlier strategies to punish the greed. Slowly, Terran and Zerg strategies will have to accommodate for such pressures and things balance out results-wise.
|
Goal accomplished! I'm a little sad I didn't get to catch any macro games of him. Hyun and Jaedong games were mostly decided at around 13 min. mark.
|
Hahaha, that is great about his goal, he reached it so fast! I wonder if Slasher is right about mYinsanity not being able to hold onto this guy due to money.
|
He all in pretty much every game in tournament, but thats maybe how protoss can win games in hots
|
Congratz!
I dont know why but he looks to me like Polt + Lucifron

I guess that's sort of the question eh? If you can afford him, it's great recognition for your team (Like Luci and VortiX for K3), but if he gets too expensive, you may not be able to keep him.

myinsanity owner and coaches must be so ecstatic. stardust accomplished his goal real fast.. good for myinsanity and stardust

It's hard to explain how happy everyone at mYinsanity is, most of us still can't believe it.
Also, StarDust will arrive in switzerland today and will start streaming again tomorrow, so keep your eyes open
