eSahara's statement : http://www.esahara.net/en/news/1586

We also would like to apologize to our fans, to Kim Seong Jin as well as WeMade.Fox for this unfortunate turn of event. We learn from our mistakes and despite the damage done by this to our credibility, which I take full responsibility for, I hope you can keep on supporting and cheering for eSahara and its teams and players.


Mod Edit 2:

eSahara has removed "pepe" from their squad and issued an apology to the real pepe and WeMade.

PePe is working in Wemade entertainment now. as you know he got job in Wemade entertainment after he stopped player life. so still working.
He said he has no idea about this situation.
what happen?!



A former employee of the disbanded WeMade FOX team who is still working at WeMade reports that eSahara did not acquire Kim "Pepe" Sung Jin. The employee claims that Kim Sung Jin is working at WeMade, and was startled to hear of reports that he had signed with WeMadeFox. He suspects that eSahara is either misinformed, or the player they signed was an imposter.

Another eSahara annoncement on tihs early 2012!

[image loading]



Right after sending (T)Naama and (Z)DeathAngel in korea, eSahara is glad to annonce two new players to complete our roster.

First addition is a well known player, former code S and pretty good friend with our player (Z)Check, (for our followers on twitter, our "make a prime time" anoncement) the terran (T)Maka!


Kwak Han "Maka" Eul
"I'd like to apologize to my fans for these last months; I couldn't play at my best level due to some health problems. Joining eSahara and having the possibility to play with Check once again is very stimulating. I will work hard to represent my new structure and to get back my code A as soon as possible".


And, as we love terrans, we decided to add former Starcraft:Broodwar player, (T)pepe in our talented squad.

Pepe now lives in a pro house in germany and is a former WeMade.FoX player and used to train with very known progamers such as (T)Midas, (P)LuCifer, (Z)Shine, (T)BaBy and (T)NaDa.

He switched on Starcraft 2 3 weeks ago and is ever GrandMaster on NA serv with 70% win rate.
His progaming experience will be really benefic to all our players, especially for Naama and DeathAngel.


Kim Seong "pepe" Jin
"I am honored to play for eSahara. It is a brand new experience for me, since it is a new game and a new way of play. I hope I can bring my experience to the team and to make of eSahara an international professional team".



eSahara SC2 roster:

  • Kwak Han "(T)Maka" Eul
  • Lee Hyung "(Z)Check" Joo
  • Santeri "(T)Naama" Lahtinen
  • Juha-Matti "(T)Satiini" Bäckström
  • Souaïb "(T)cArn" Hanaf
  • Andrei "(Z)DeathAngel" Nodea
  • Artem "(P)VERDI" Avramenko

  • Kim Seong "(T)pepe" Jin
  • Madeleine "[image loading]MaddeLisk" Leander
  • Georgiy "[image loading] Ackiy" Baikov

Hey I remember Pepe! He made the ro16 in the GomTV Classic S2 completely out of nowhere. Nice to see what he's up to these days.

That's pretty cool for the players and for eS. You should really work on these announcement posts though, they don't look very professional plus they have typos etc.. Makes it look like there's not much effort in these.

Pepe the next fOrGG when he joins Code A? Let's hope so. But nice pick up nonetheless eSahara. Gonna be sad Prime is losing some members. Hopefully MarineKing won't quit.

Much more interested in pepe. Maka has been playing like shit, so would be good for him if he could get back in gear.
The universe created an audience for itself.

So eSahara will soon have 6 players in Korea? Very interesting indeed.
It can't be helped. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
