Today, mYinsanity is pleased to announce our newest acquisition to the mYinsanity Starcraft 2 Division, Jung “Balloon” Woo Joon! Balloon, formerly a Protoss of StarTale and a Code A competitor, announced his retirement from full time StarCraft in November to pursue studies, but has continued to play a great deal and has since switched to Random. Balloon will be studying in America as of next semester, and has been looking for a foreign team, finally settling on mYinsanity. As he is prioritizing his studies, we won’t be seeing him participate in as many offline events as teammates StarDust or Jjakji, but we are confident that Balloon will prove his worth both in WCS AM as well as team leagues.

Awesome, he has a cool stream where he commentates in extremely good english.

I can't believe Supernova is still teamless... makes me sad.

There is a name I haven't heard for a while, seems like a good fit though.
|
Oh, this is sick!

I just started watching his stream and have been really impressed by his play and his English!
Good Luck Balloon! Looking forward to seeing you around in NA

His stream is really nice. Good english and commentary! Glad to see him picked up
|
Cool pick up, I like his stream event if sometimes i just forget he is in the non featured section
|
Why is he not featured on TL btw? I though everyone who made challenger got to be featured
|
|
|
Yay, Random players are awesome <3
Good luck!!

I don't know balloon at all before this announcement, but I'll cheer for him because he plays the real man's race: random!
I'm excited that he is going to try out for WCS NA too. I hope he makes it. I'd love to watch some skilled random action! GL Balloon!
|
sounds great A random in player in WCS...I know who I am rooting for :D
|
Great to hear all this team news SC2 aliev gaem
|

His stream was really nice to watch in the last couple of days, and if he can focus on playing til august he should be able to qualify for WCS AM.
He will be the second Polt, just in random. :D
mYi fighting!
(he should have the best english among the myi koreans, and that while Stardust and jjakjis is quite decent.)
|
another startale player moving onto another team. anyone else get the feeling like startale is going to close up shop eventually?
|
Great move Balloon.
Good luck with the new team.
|
Balloon and Caliber in that WCS NA qualifier. I want them to meet for the sake of RvR, but at the same time, I don't want them to meet because I want them to both qualify.

This is great, he seems really nice, and it's been a very long time since we had a random pro player

I wish we had more, so it would be banned. No one cares to address things that are too rare, though. Free wins against Toss.
|
Hmm I'm surprised he doesn't pick a race, or at least pick races based on matchups. We'll see if the "random advantage" helps or hurts him. In any case grats to both parties on the pickup!

I can't wait to see My Insanity become a worldwide powerhouse in e-sports.
|
awesome i hope he stays as random and doesn't settle on a race!
|
I love all the old star tale players come back and get teams. Seems like they all speak very good English. Random at a high level is sexy. I hope he stays Random and he shows some amazing and interesting WCS games.
|
I <3 Balloon! Great pick up!
|
cool, we need more randoms!

Good luck to him. I remember seeing Balloon posting on TL after he qualified for Code A. Seems like a cool guy
|
Yayyyy I love the random players. And players who reach out to us English speakers :D
I'm in your fanclub now Balloon, go knock it outta the park.
|
this balloon is the game that they put in between Code A matches, the one that's similar to flappy bird?
Now on topic, let's see how he does in myi, glgl
|
very noob player . uninstall game pls mYi gg.
