After almost 2 years since he stopped playing Starcraft 2, he is back. We are happy to announce, signing of exRoX.KiS player, 22 year old protoss player Russian FederationIgor "fraer" Turchin. He is back to Starcraft 2, and we are gladly to provide him with all support that we can to get him back to his top shape, when he did won 3rd place in 2012 DreamHack Open: Summer and many Zotac cups and monthly finals.

Except in DH:Moscow,fraer will represent us in online tournaments, aswell in team leagues that we will play such as CCL and SC2ITL.


Igor "fraer" Turchin:

"Im happy that i've joined Vega after my 2 year brake, and i'm happy to represent them at Dreahmack:Moscow. I think everything goes good including my preparations for returning to pro SC2 scene, aswell preparations for DH:Moscow. I didn't play SC2 for 2 years, but im back now, and i feel like i have so much to learn about current state of SC2! Thanks to my new team, sponsors and fans! See you in Moscow!"


Vanja "HighArT" Šimunec - general manager:

"We are extremely happy that we have chance to work with such good player as Igor is, and provide him with all support that can bring him again to the top of the EU scene once again. He is traveling to DH:Moscow next week, and lets hope we can prepare him good for this tournament, and that this could be beggining of his 2nd part of SC2 professional career! Welcome Igor!"

Yes, correct. He is from Crimea (which was part of Ukraine), but because of political situation there, Crimea is now russian territory and he has russian passport now and he is classified now as russian citizen. Harsh stuff, anyway.

fraer was very impressive back in 2012 when he won 3 ZOTAC monthly in a row. It's a shame he didn't continue at this time. Hope he'll do well now !

I tried to find some VODs again but twitch ate most of the good ones during the big deletion crisis.

This one's classic fraer, but it's from a time when he already had pretty much stopped practicing.

Now I miss RSL and the days of Fraer and Lowely kicking ass. Hopefully he can get back into old shape again on Vega, he was terrifying in his Prime.
