Today we are proud to announce North America's newest StarCraft 2 organization, Solaris Gaming. Solaris prides itself at developing and marketing our players above all else while also building strong connections with the StarCraft community.

From day one we will try to develop a strong bond with the community through written content, video guides, regular streaming and whatever else the community would like to see out of us. We hope to be a team that everyone can benefit from and we'll try our best to achieve just that.

A message from the owner:

Hey guys! I know what you’re all thinking, another new North American team that seems shady, that will soon be shrouded in controversy before going under shortly after. I’d like to first introduce myself, my name is Jason Pun and I go by the handle InsidiA. Up to this point I’ve been mainly doing graphic design in eSports. Currently, I work for Red Bull eSports, Titan eSports, Exertus eSports and have worked for companies such as Copenhagen Wolves, Dignitas, Clarity Gaming and a host of others. So this is where the money is coming from, I have a steady salary from the teams above and also do loads of freelance work.

Solaris Gaming is a team I started because I realized after talking to several players that North American teams don’t do the two things that they ultimately should be designed to do, help players get better at the game and help market them. So with that in mind, I decided to start this team in order to help players I believed were at the top tier of North American talent and help create an environment that does that for them.

Hopefully that clears up some things about the team and where the money is coming from. I’m only 18, so I can understand the skepticism but I have a great staff and have good relative experience working in eSports. I hope you will support this project and help grow the North American StarCraft 2 Scene.

- Jason


Stay tuned as we'll have plenty of content in the coming days!

I hope you are realistic about financial issues. Too many teams are not. Players need reliable income. They can't live on dreams alone.

Nice to see an American team owner with a bit of experience in eSports before starting a team, instead of business experience in another field. If you can market your players like you intend to, you will probably be able to find some sponsorship.

Love to see NA players getting recognized. Hopefully you guys can build in skill and make some strong showings.

So, do you plan on this team only being funded by your income, or are you currently seeking sponsors?
The world is better when every background has a chance.

Obviously we are seeking sponsorships but it is hard to obtain them without any numbers to give them. Hopefully in the coming weeks we can announce some sponsorships.

We are/will be looking for sponsors but these things take time and we got something to prove! Watch this space.
