AfreecaTV's HQ has been reportedly closed for maintenance because the stress of carrying the entire korean SC2 scene on its pillars has caused damage to the structure

I read 3 days ago on Armani’s Twitter account that he had joined. Happy for Stats and soO as well!
Stopped watching ESL content in 2022 when the company was acquired by Savvy Gaming Group. Also object to sponsorships by the U.S. Air Force. Thanks for the lively discussions about sportswashing. StarCraft II is not for me anymore.

This is wonderful!

This drastically increases the chances of soO actually winning something else someday, so I'm happy.

Honestly it feels more like a streamer contract before soO and Stats join the military, happy for Armani tho.

Are they ? Is this a new Afreeca Freecs team or some kind of sponsorship like Afreeca S2?
SC2 is the best game to watch and was the best to play before I grew old and slow...

It's the Afreeca S2 sponsorship "team". They're all on it.

Afreeca Freecs hasn't been resurrected for soO, Stats and Armani alone.

Why do you say that?

It clearly says that they signed for the Freecs. So it looks like the S2 team is finished and the Freecs are back in business.

That doesn't mean the team house is coming back though. The big question now is whether they will participate in the CTC, i.e. if the players are allowed to leave Korea.

Wasn't soO and possibly Stats supposed to start their military service after last year?

But anyways, great news!! I really like the fact that Afreeca now has 5 contracted players in aLive, Armani, DRG, soO and Stats. Starting to look like a real team
