EPTFnatic are happy to announce the addition of Polish player Piotr 'souL' Walukiewicz to the Starcraft 2 Academy. The 15 year old Terran player has already been showing a lot of promise and will now have the Fnatic StarCraft 2 academy behind him to develop his skills. Even at such a young age he came close to qualifying for the WCS EU Season 2 through the Wildcard placement, with time we can see him going far in WCS.
Piotr started playing at the age of 11, starting with Warcraft 3 but then made the switch to StarCraft 2. He managed to climb his way from Bronze league to Grand Master. To date his biggest achievement is a 2nd place finish in the ESL Pro Series Season VII Poland having beaten players like Senin and Tefel along the way.

This has definitely not been easy, it might be easier to locate Leprachauns than find a good Terran player in Europe. I am glad we could pick souL for our Academy program. We have prided ourselves on the development of our players and in the last 1.5 years we've been able to work very well with this group of players. Harstem, Mini, Zanster, Ignite & Neeb have their own strengths and talents and after a long search and a lot of weeks of internal practice we have decided to proceed further with souL. One remember the days we picked up Zanster, Pink (now Ignite), Mini & Neeb and a lot of people wondered what we were doing, I hope a year and a half later we have silenced our critics and most importantly continue to grow from strength to strength. A big thanks to everyone on the SC2 team that has made it possible for us to reach this point.

You are joining the Starcraft 2 Academy for Fnatic, how does it feel to start your career here with us?
I feel great about it as I always wanted to join the team and play with Fnatic colours.
What do you think are your strongest points as a StarCraft 2 player?
I think I'm very good at micro. I have nice mutlitasking skills and really fast in managing them. I think that the balance problem between races stops the possibility of improving my results.
There are a number of great players already at Fnatic, is there anyone in particular that you look forward to playing with?
Every one of the Fnatic players are good and I want to play with them all.
At 15 years old you have almost made it to the WCS, do you think that being in the Academy will help push you into new challenges like the WCS?
Of course, Fnatic players are so experienced in Starcraft, I had big problems with TvZ but training with Zanster made me better and I'm confident in this matchup now.
As a Terran player what is your favorite unit in the game and why?
Marine
I chose this race because of marines. I love to watch that unit in micro and I play it often.
What do you look forward to the most being a part of the Fnatic family?
Extensive training and quick results and of course many swag clothes ;D
