With the the new year just starting off, we’re adding Jo “Patience” Ji Hyun to our roster.

With his run at Dreamhack Winter 2013, he made it from an unknown Korean to a crowd favorite in just one night. He overcame the odds of Polt, sOs, MMA and Innovation and ended the tournament with a third place. With this tournament as an example of what he is capable of, we decided that Patience would be a good addition for our team.

From now on Jo “AiPatience” Ji Hyun will be living in our team house located in Duisburg, Germany. He will live together with AiChubz and also his fellow Korean AiRevenge. We are excited to see how he will perform at his first major tournament:

ASUS ROG Winter 2014!

Please welcome Jo “AiPatience” Ji Hyun as a new member of Alien Invasion!


Statement from the owner of Alien Invasion Heiner “AiTotoro” Knüppel :

At this stage we feel matured enough to take the next step and reach the next level. With new partners and players we will take the challenge of 2014 and show our supporters and fans, what can be achieved with hard work and perserverance.

After the addition of Strelok in early December, we are proud to welcome such an exceptional player.

Best eSports regards
Heiner “AiTotoro” Knüppel


Statement from Jo “AiPatience” Ji Hyun :

First of all I want to thank Alien Invasion for their trust in me. I'm full of confidence to reach my personal goals and hopefully the expectation of my new team. I'm looking forward to the new environment and hope I can settle down quickly.

Best Regards
Jo “AiPatience” Ji Hyun



P.S. This is only the start of 2014! More to come for Ai!

Thought it was MC when I saw the picture but Patience is a nice pick up too. He can do a great run during WCS Europe if he plays like he has been during the DreamHack

I think MC will be joining XMG, it would make sense considering how tied he is to Europe.

Figured it was just a matter of time before somebody picked this guy up, he looks like he's 15 years old and his run at dreamhack was nuts. protoss maru, anyone?

Oh wow. I have to say that I knew about him before this, but I never followed him or his run through Dreamhack Winter. I didn't get to watch as much of the tournament as I wanted so I only followed Taeja. Congratz to Patience and Alien Invasion.

Glad to see this. Patience is a great story; he was on Prime forever and they just REFUSED to give him a chance. He sat on the bench in GSTL 2013 S1 while Gerrard kept sending out the same MKP/Maru/ByuN/Creator quartet to get owned over and over, awesome to see him get a break.

As long as they live there that could actually be a good thing. It seems like EU is going to get the better end of the deal than AM. AM is going to have the shit ton of "well Kor-NA lag isn't bad" players, where EU is actually going to have the "I live here and could improve the region as a whole" players.

But nice pickup by Ai, glad to see another good player moving to EU.

Amazing player, It's difficult to accept any loss for one of my favorites MMA, but the way this little guy did it, it was beautiful and well deserved and all his crusade in Dreamhack Winter! Wish him luck!

While I missed some of his games, I remember being surprised that he beat Innovation and so many other notable players before eventually falling to Jaedong or someone else, can't recall. Either way, if he plays as well as he did, I expect him to keep making splashes in the SCII scene. This sounds like a good pickup to me. Best of luck!

While I am an antifan of his for beating my 3 favourite terrans one after the other I still wish him gl and lots of fun in Germany
To all the haters: you deserve to witness many, many more Serral victories, worthy of the godlike player he is.
