They've had one for a while. But KeeN, aLive and DRG didn't exactly have many big runs so it'd have flown under the radar a bit they were sponsored by Afreeca all year long.

The fact that they decided to pick up 3 more players (and really good ones at that) after KeeN's retirement is a good sign (though I suspect aLive is probably going to retire soon too).
Every 60 seconds in Africa, a minute passes.

good news, both for Special to finally find team and soO for moving to Afreeca.
if Afreeca means to revive their Freecs team and not just act as personal sponsors with "S2" brand like with Keen and aLive then it's double the good news

They were sponsored by Afreeca but afaik they weren't in the Afreeca Freecs team.
I used to organize tournaments for ESL Italy and referee Go4SC2s, WCSs, and IEMs for ESL SC2.

aight, its a bit confusing, but it seems like this might be an afreeca freecs reboot and the Afreeca S2 name has been retired

https://gall.dcinside.com/mgallery/board/view/?id=sc2&no=528686

DRG says they're now called Afreeca Freecs, 'just like the LoL team'

funnily enough, he said it with the AFS2 tag still attached to his name ^^

Man I wish the Afreeca Freecs reboot gave even a shred of hope to the revival of proleague. Unfortunately I don't think proleague is coming back. I wish it were though.

But seriously, overall these have been pretty good pickups I feel. soO gets to play for a korean team, Juan gets picked back up, and it looks like most everyone's ready to go for 2020.

I mean, if Afreeca picked up 1 more player I would not be surprised...but 3 more? Does this mean they know about something big coming up?

I mean, two of the players are about to retire...but still

For people keeping track at home, here is the list of teams Special has not been on yet:

.

Joking aside, Happy New Year and Happy New Team, Special! I was quite impressed by his overall performance in the last year, I hope he can maintain it wit the new team.
