Today, we are proud to announce the newest addition to our StarCraft 2 roster. We’d like to welcome Daniel “Lucky” Elmblad to Solaris Gaming, a Hawaiian Protoss player. Lucky is one of North America’s hardest-working players and can be constantly seen at the Top of the North American ladder. His hard work and dedication represent the values that we at Solaris Gaming uphold, making him a perfect fit for the team.

We hope you join us in welcoming Lucky, we’re sure you’ll be seeing more of him going forward. You can even check him out later today, where he will start a 24 hour stream for charity; you’ll be able to find out when he goes live on either Reddit or other social media. We encourage everyone to tune in, not just to see some great StarCraft play, but also to support a good cause (Extra-Life).

Statement from Solaris Gaming owner Jason Pun

Today is a great day because we can formally announce Daniel as a part of our roster. He’s been playing with the team for around a week, and everyone agrees that he is definitely one of the most hard-working and passionate players out there. He’s constantly looking for practice and is always looking to improve. These are the qualities we are looking for when we seek out new players, and we will do our best to help Daniel reach his full potential. That’s not to say that he is not a great player right now, he is a strong addition to our roster and has been placing very high on the North American ladder for some time. This makes us even more excited to see just how far Daniel can go in the coming months!

Statement from Daniel “Lucky” Elmblad

Hi, I'm Daniel "Lucky" Elmblad. I've been around the semi-pro scene for Starcraft 2 for several years now, and I'm proud to finally say I can take my progression one step further. Solaris Gaming is a newer team but I could tell from the start it was going to be something big. I am very honored to be a part of Solaris Gaming and I will do my best to prove my worth and show how strong of a player I am.

I hope to learn more about Lucky, I just had a vague knowledge that there was an American who happened to use that name. Congrats to both parties - Solaris needed another non-Zerg.

Yeah, the thread should really say "American player Lucky" or something like that. It's like saying "Solaris gaming signs MMA" and it turns out it's this guy: http://www.aligulac.com/players/2370-MMA/

Anyway, grats to American player Lucky ^_^
