Axiom is proud to present our newest (and youngest) player, Impact!

Formerly known as Woongjin Stars Mekia, the 18 year old Zerg player has joined Axiom under the new handle Impact. Impact is most famously known as one of the protagonists in the StarCraft documentary State of Play that follows the beginning of his pro gaming career. Since then Impact has participated in Proleague with Woongjin Stars where he produced results for his team against powerful opponents like Stork, Kop, and Bbyong.

This acquisition comes with impeccable timing as Axiom recently began searching for a Zerg after former Axiom player Miya retired in May. The addition of Impact brings back diversity in the team line up, as all other existing members play Terran or Protoss.

This is the first time Axiom has engaged in a transfer from a KeSPA team. The transfer was conducted in good spirits by Woongjin Stars Coach Ryu, who stated, “On Woongjin Stars, Impact was overshadowed by Soulkey and ZerO, despite his talent. I hope that he will adjust to his new team quickly so that he can show everyone a good performance in official matches.“

Axiom probably pays better and provides more opportunities(and more freedom) considering he wasn't a top player in WJS' roster.

Ah true. I was thinking maybe the lure of foreign tournaments is what brought him over to the light.

cut the crap man, the guy is a rookie and as it is stated in the announcement: "On Woongjin Stars, Impact was overshadowed by Soulkey and ZerO, despite his talent"

Woongjin have incredible zerg players and with that rooster, the rookie hardly would have a chance in the main team.

Mekia was overshadowed by a chicken?

The last KeSPA player that Ax-Acer picked up seems to be doing pretty well, so I'd imagine the same will be true for this guy.

Do we know when exactly the tradelock ends? It says October 2013, but not when.

http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=359009
For the next thirteen months, the Korean eSports Association (KeSPA) and eSports Federation cannot transfer players to each other. This trade lock period will last until October 2013.

On Wednesday, August 8th, KeSPA, a governing organization over Proleague, and eSports Fed., which participate in GSTL, came to an official agreement on the matter of player transfers.

Both parties restated their goal on joint development of the e-sports scene and signed an agreement on player transfers and partnerships to protect both players and the leagues. They stated that the agreement will allow eSports Federation to aquire new sponsors and be self-sustainable, while KeSPA players switching to StarCraft 2 can become competitive in the long run.

The trade lock isn't really relevant to us since we are not an eSF team. Everything was conducted entirely above board to the satisfaction of both parties.

Congrats! Even though I refuse to support Zerg players, this is a great addition to the Axiom line-up and definitely a needed replacement for the retirement of Miya. Congrats Sir. Knight. Biscuit! I will be cheering for your team in the GSTL! :D
