It is with great excitement that we announce our recent acquisition of Kim “Revival” Dong Hyun in the StarCraft II division of CM Storm. After watching Revival compete in multiple tournaments toward the end of 2013, we knew we wanted him on our roster. This will be the second time in their StarCraft II careers that both Choi “Polt” Seong and Revival will be teammates.
During the early stages of his StarCraft II career, Revival was on Team SCV Life (TSL) alongside Polt. Competing mainly in GSL while on the TSL roster, Revival became a popular name in StarCraft II community. At the end of 2012 Revival left TSL and was quickly acquired by Evil Geniuses (EG). The following year became Revival’s biggest and most successful; he took 2nd in WCS America to herO.
Soon after, he competed in IEM Shanghai where powered through the Group Stages and made it to the Ro8. His first opponent was none other than his past and future teammate, Polt. They played an amazing series, and Revival came out on top of the Bo5 (3-2). Heading into the Ro4, the Boss Toss, Jang “MC” Min Chul awaited Revival. People were curious as to how far Revival had progressed in the year and were very speculative about his Zerg versus Protoss. Revival silenced any doubts at that point and defeated MC 3-1, advancing into the Grand Finals.
EG fans were ecstatic to find not one EG player, but two in the final match. Revival would face Kim “Oz” Hak Soo in one of the most one-sided series ever seen in a Grand Finals. He had a set strategy going into the series and executed it with perfect precision and timing, taking his teammate down (4-0). Revival and fans alike were stunned as he won the final match and crowned himself the IEM Shanghai Champion.
It is the beginning of a new year and a new team for Revival, and we look forward to seeing his capabilities in the coming year. Once again, please join us in giving Revival a warm welcome to CM Storm, and you can cheer him on during his matches in WCS: America and IEM: Katowice. Be sure to follow Revival on twitter @SC2Revival and on Facebook.
It is quintessentially important to let sponsors know that they are appreciated. To show Revival and polt both your support, please visit the facebook page of CM Storm and like them.

I wouldn't be so glad about it, it is hard to be a Revival fan sometimes. Especially when he gets ahead early.

Now if only CMStorm picks up MC. Then we can have the beginning of kick-ass team. <3
|
even the CM Storm announcement mixes up Liquid_HerO with herO lol (herO is still best hero!)
Anyways, congrats to Revival this is an awesome opportunity! Glad Polt has a buddy now 
|
|
|
Is CMStorm going to be putting together a full team? This is awesome news. Congrats revival
|
If CMStorm get Symbol and Center next, we can call CMStorm, "Team Storm Life". Glad for Revival, he's a good player who just needs more recognition and presence in tournaments to really shine.
|
I had forgotten that Revival wasn't even on EG anymore to be honest..
Well, glad that he is back on a team and wish him luck with CM Storm! CM Storm is slowly assembling quite a team.

Popular/=successful, IMO
Still good news for Revival

Good for Revival. Were it not for Naniwa, he may have been a contender in the zerg-sparse WCS Global Finals last year.
|
CM Storm please revive TSL! Or at least pick up aLive.
|
SWEET! Way to go Revival! Very smart move by both parties, imo
|
glad to hear that a great player found a place to land. now time for symbol and supernova

Yes, but success = popularity. You do well in tournaments, get sponsors or a team >>> get exposure. You think Revival would ever have this much exposure without EG?
Good for Revival. I like his stream.
