Millenium is very happy to announce the arrival of VortiX within its Starcraft 2 roster
Statement by Rémy « Llewellys » Chanson, eSports manager :
Since the inactivity of Goswser, a very good Zerg player was missing to Millenium's roster.
Today I'm glad to announce the arrival of VortiX in our line-up.
His achievements are impressive and his hunger for victory intact. I hope that the summer will be "caliente" for him.
Unfortunatelly he is placed in the same WCS group as ForGG, but isn't it the proof that he is already a true Millenium ? ^^
Welcome Vortix !

Welcome Vortix !
Interview of VortiX :
[M]Nazca : Hi VortiX and welcome to Millenium ! We're very happy to have you on board. Tell us a bit about you for whoever might not know you.
[M]VortiX : Hello and thank you ! I'm Juan Moreno Durán, a 20 year old player from Barcelona, Spain. I played Warcraft III some years ago and I've been playing StarCraft II competitively since its release.
You come from a family of gamers, both your brothers being very involved in StarCraft 2 as well and, in fact, you even started team Karont3 together some years ago. How was it like growing up together and how is it like nowadays ?
[M]VortiX : Well we've always had fun playing videogames since we were little and it was kinda fun playing together. About Starcraft 2, it was always a very good way to keep motivated because I always had them to talk with about the game and what I was doing wrong, etc and it helped me get better and better.
About Karont3, we didn't actually start it, we were just recruited as SC2 players/manager, but we had nothing to do with the team organisation. Nowadays all of us are really busy with studies so I guess I'm the only one that keeps playing very actively.
Oh I see. Well, nowadays you are indeed very active and one of the very best players in Europe. When you look back at these 4 years of StarCraft 2, what is your best and worst memory ?
[M]VortiX : The best moment must've been when I won Thor Open 2012, since it's the only offline tournament (out of Spain) that I've won, even though I remember that when I won SuperNova in IEM Cologne 2012 quarter finals I was really happy and it was a very big upset for people watching since most people didn't even know me by then.
The worst is the "curse" that made LucifroN and I get seeded against him in almost every tournament we travelled for. It's always a bad sensation to play your own brother when both of you are really motivated to go far in a tournament.
LucifroN curse !
Right now, after some months "off" last year, would you say you're back to your top level ? More generally, what are your goals for the next months ?
[M]VortiX : Yes, definitely. At the beginning of 2013 there were a series of circumstances that made me loose a lot of shape. I had to focus more on studies, and I was a bit unmotivated with Starcraft 2, and those two things coincided with the Heart of the Swarm release, so I couldn't adapt well. But at the end of the last year I think I got back to my old shape, and at the beginning of 2014 I think I got even better.
My goals for the next months... I want to attend as many events as possible, I think if I prepare well and I'm confident in myself I can make really good performances, and it's gonna be the first event out of WCS I'm attending this year so I'm really looking forward to it.
Let's turn to Millenium now. Tell us what made you decide to join the crew and how you see your future within the team.
[M]VortiX : Well Millenium has always been a top team in Europe, already in my Warcraft III years Millenium was a pretty big team and there were some players in it I admired, and I had never heard anything but good things about them. Also, they have a really strong StarCraft II team right now.
When I left Mousesports they were the first ones to get in touch with me and, of course, I was really eager to listen to them, and we quickly found the conditions that would suit both of us.
You will be playing your WCS Europe Ro16 group tomorrow. You first play Harstem who's said to be the man of the year, and the other match is Snute vs ForGG. Obviously it's a very tough group and especially now you might face your new teammate ForGG. Are you confident you will once again reach the Ro8 ?
[M]VortiX : It's definitely a very hard group, and right now I'm in that time of the year when I have to play "a bit less". But it's no excuse, I think I've got the same level I had for the last WCS and I will do my best. I think all 4 of us have got the same chances of making it into the Ro8 so it's gonna be entertaining for sure.
I'm really looking forward to 4-0ing the group, it would be my 4th 4-0 in a row in Ro16.
Good luck with your group, we will be chearing for you and ForGG ! So finally let's finish on a super fast one word thingy. I say one word and you give the fastest answer that crosses your mind, ok ?
