We at UnderRated Gaming are extremely happy and proud to announce that we have acquired the competitive team and management staff of Soviet Gaming. We feel that the guys at Soviet have done a wonderful job representing themselves, their team, and sponsors; all while maintaining a consistent and high level of play. We are extremely happy to welcome them into our family, and are excited about the future of UnderRated. It is also important to note that this is not the end for Soviet Gaming, as their community will remain!

Joining the A-Team roster is:
Michael "Spanishiwa" Yabut [image loading] - @Spanishiwa http://www.twitch.tv/spanishiwa
Zachery "Acid" Kelley [image loading] - @URAcid http://www.twitch.tv/sgacid
Mat "Minkus" Monohan [image loading]
Jordan "WaZ" Wasden [image loading] - @JordanWasden http://www.twitch.tv/urwaz
Evan "Tormentor" Ball [image loading]

Joining the Management staff is:
Ian "GreyWolf" Doolittle - @URGreywolf
Dillon "RunnerMeep" Hagerty


Here is what UnderRated COO Jason "Draekan" Heppner had to say:
It is an extreme honor to welcome the former Soviet's into our family at UnderRated. Having worked closely with them in the past, and their reputation for excellence, i am confident they will represent UnderRated and our sponsors in a positive way and contribute to our growing Team.


And former Soviet Boss Zachery "Acid" Kelley:
I am excited that my fellow comrades and I will be joining the UR team and adding to their already amazing organization. Picking UR was an easy choice for us because of their proffessionalism and for pretty much being a great group of people. We look forward to helping make UR SC2 even stronger.


A big thank-you to our sponsors: CM Storm, MaxFrag, SC2Gears, and RedStudio's Graphic Design

Woaaaaah. This is huge for Under Rated. I think you guys might have to change your name soon if you keep doing as well as you're doing.

Really looking forward to seeing Soviet Gaming players around! It was a really great team and it'll be awesome to see them in future UR related events!

I heard UR Gaming was under new management, but I didn't think they'd acquire a whole team! Pretty good!

Well, we will know the standings for sure on Sunday, as currently we're in the make up week of play and teams have until saturday at midnight to submit the replays. After that its simply a matter of checking penalties. Soviet was in a spot of maybe getting 3rd place, maybe 4th. If they get 3rd place they will compete under our name as expected, but only with the roster they used before the acquisition. 1st, 2nd, 3rd advance to playoffs, 4th does not.
