 Starbuck, the 16-year old Zerg from Slovenia, who is considered to be one of the best up and coming talents in Europe, and one of the latest players to qualify to WCS EU Season 2 Challenger League, has moved on from the Russian team of  Vega Squadron to join Team MiA (Missing in Action), one of the oldest eSport clans in Slovenia.
Team MiA Roster:

The team has also recruited frozz, one of the best Croatian players, formerly part of the Starcraft Freaks Clan, the team which was making a few ripples in team leagues a few weeks back.
Team MiA will also be hosting an Academy team.

Vega Squadron still has a few decent players on their roster, including French Challenger League player, FireCake, as well as the Russian Terran, Turuk.
My note: It really puzzles me how no top European team has taken the initiative to sign this player so far, at least on their talent roster.

noticed he was 2nd in GM on EU today. Pretty crazy that he wasn't signed before. GL Guys~
|
Don't know if it's a good move. ^^
Anyway, gl hf Starbuck !

Why is Starbuck in the title/main announcement but frozz is just an "oh by the way we have frozz too"? I'm more interested in him to be honest.

He probably means for Starbuck, if he gets a bit further in WCS he might have gotten on a better team.
Or he doesn't like Starbuck because he's said to be pretty bm on ladder.

Well Starbuck is a little more established and known player. Also, I think they signed CheeseKing who is very good protoss, but theres no news on it.

Team MiA is a much respected and the most successful gaming team in Slovenia. We all know Starbuck is a beast, and when/if he chooses to go pro and gets an offers he cannot refuse, he will most likely join an already established team. But until then, I don't see anything wrong with the 16 years old youngster playing with fellow Slovenians whom he met and knows IRL.
All in all, with Starbuck joining Team MiA, he is really boosting and hyping the whole Slovenian electronic sports community, not only the SC2 scene. I for one think that is a great thing to do.

The frozz here isn't the StarCraft 1 frozz I'm pretty sure.
|
It is not the same Frozz, this one is a Croatian GM terran.
|
What was Starbuck's former nick? I remember someone saying he recently changed nick.
|
He was known as Aku before that.
His stream is still at twitch / aspireaku I think.
|
good news for the ex yu scene, i hope frozz profits from the move, also extremely stupid that no top team signed starbuck before... the drone stacking cheese was legendary!

GL to frozz and starbuck. Starbuck knows a lot of guys from MiA IRL so i see why he joined MiA.
EDIT: about vega squadron i heard somewhere they will add 1-2 GM players soon.
|
CheeseKing, another Croatian Grandmaster, joins Team MiA. Looks promising!
|
2 months later he is playing in Premier.
If I think about it actually. This guy is 2 years younger than me and 20x times better (granted that I don't actually play SC2 anymore) and he lives in the same country.
|
Really impressive run by him in the WCS EU tonight. Great play and results. Gratz!
|
I didn't know frozz was Croatian
cool to know
