Today Evil Geniuses (EG), North America's premier professional gaming team and a world leader in e-Sports, is proud to welcome South Korea native Park " JYP" Jin Young who will represent the Starcraft II team in 2012 in GSL Code-S and international competitions.
A Former teammate of current EG member Lee "PuMa" Ho Joon at Team SCV Life, JYP recently secured a spot in Code-S for Season 1 of GSL 2012. Next week, he will suit up in the EG blue as he departs for Germany to compete at HomeStoryCup IV against some of toughest competition outside of Korea.
Renowned for his strength against Protoss and Zerg players, he boasts a near 70% win percentage against each of those respective races. He most notably defeated HerO, July, and Luvsic during his GSL Up & Down matches.
"I'm really happy to be joining EG, whom I consider the number one foreign team. I would like to use this great opportunity to show good results and I hope both the Korean fans and foreign fans would cheer me on," Park remarked.
"We're happy to be able to offer Park the opprotunity to not only compete alongside his longtime practice partner and friend PuMa, but also to travel and showcase his talent around the globe," said Alex Garfield, CEO of Evil Geniuses.
You can follow Park "JYP" Jin Young and the rest of the StarCraft II division of Evil Geniuses on Facebook at www.facebook.com/EvilGeniuses and on Twitter at www.twitter.com/EvilGeniuses. You can follow JYP directly on Twitter at https://twitter.com/#!/star2JYP

I was guessing it was either him or Killer, one of the players recently parted from TSL, my money put on JYP. This can only mean better things for him and I look forwards to him having more success in a foreign team!
