Hot off the press - Samuli 'Acer | elfi' Sihvonen has joined Team Acer after being teamless. He will attend GC New York and GC Guangzhou!

Source: http://www.aceresport.com/uk/news/144.htm

+ Show Spoiler +
Team Acer is ecstatic to announce a new addition to the StarCraft II team today. The team has already made a name for themselves not only thanks to their great results but also due to the fact that it notably only contained Zerg players. Today we will step away from that division as we announce a new Finnish Protoss player to join our ranks; his name is Samuli 'Acer | elfi' Sihvonen.

Acer | elfi doesn't have to be introduced to anyone following the StarCraft II scene. The Finnish player has recently qualified for the Global Challenge Guangzhou in China and Global Challenge New York in the United States. We are proud to announce that Team Acer will send Acer | elfi to these events in the near future!

Acer | elfi made a great case for himself to be picked up by Team Acer at Assembly Summer 2011 LAN. Here the Finnish player finished first in his group which featured players such as oGs.NaDa, LiquidHaypro and NightEnd! His victory against NaDa was especially inspiring. We look forward to seeing Acer | elfi acheiving more great results with Team Acer!

Acer | elfi gave aceresport.com the following statement:

"Hey everyone, I'm happy to be given the chance to join Team Acer. I've been working hard for something like this and now I have even more motivation to continue playing. I will for sure get better with help of my new team and teammates. I hope I can bring good results for Acer and now I will start concentrating for my next event IEM Guangzhou."

As mentioned above, your next opportunity to see Acer | elfi in action will be at GC Guangzhou and GC New York - don't miss out!


Update 1: Elfi has been interviewed on the Acer website --- http://www.aceresport.com/uk/content/53.htm

"Well I would like to focus on every tournament, but having GC Guangzhou GC New York and IeSF in same month I will have to go from tournament to tournament without visiting home. It will be hard hard to focus on any of those; I will just have to practice a lot and not focus on just one of them. It will be a lot easier to focus on WCG since I don't have to worry about other tournaments at that time."

Very nice pickup although I didn't quite expect it. I personally had expected Elfi to join the finnish team called Fightline.

Acer really hasn't produced anything and elfi is on the rise so it could be a good situation for both
Remember, no matter where you go, there you are.

They should pick up Lucifron and they'll have every best player of each race that Americans know nothing about ^^.

Oh... when I read "Acer" I instantly thought "ACERGAME".
But it's Mondragon's team... ah, that makes sense now.

Hey, Americans here. We know about Nerchio and Mondragon. That is all.

Haha I know of Nerchio and Mondragon as well, but it had seemed that Mondragon disappeared after TSL to me, and I always thought he was on ToT or mym. No idea who paranoid, osho, kaoru, and elfi are though .
