Today Team Acer can officially announce the acquisition of Lee "(T)INnoVation" Shin Hyung. The Korean Terran will be known as Acer|INnoVation as of September 1st, which has already begun in his home of South Korea. INnoVation will live in the Axiom house and play for Axiom-Acer in GSTL, while playing for Team Acer in all foreign and Korean individual tournaments.

INnoVation's SC2 accomplishments:
GSL 2012 S5 (3rd-4th)
GSL 2013 S1 (5th-8th)
MLG Winter Championship (3rd)
WCS Korea GSL S1 (2nd)
WCS S1 Final (1st)
WCS Korea OSL S2 (3rd-4th)

Team Acer CEO Uwe "Acer | webmuggle" Semtner issued the following statement regarding the Terran's acquisition:

"It was a great honor and a huge chance for us when the opportunity arose for us to add INnoVation to our StarCraft 2 roster. An honor because he chose our team, a chance because you don't get a call from one of the best players in the world, telling you that he want to join your team, every day!

INnoVation is a great addition to our existing roster and everybody, especially our Zergs, will benefit from his arrival. He will also be part of our upcoming GSTL Team, togehter with Axiom. I'm looking forward to a very interesting and, hopefully, very successful time for our new StarCraft 2 roster."


Full details of the move, including a short subtitled video interview with the WCS S1 champion, can be found at Team Acer.

Didn't see it comming!

Such a sick pickup by Acer, they are gonna dominate with a player like Inno onboard

Shame that this got spoiled over time, but still huge news

Yea at the question ''give a message to your fans'', you really saw how there is not really something he wants to say. I bet they said to him tell something to your fans, even though he was like there is nothing i have to say.
InnoVation Fighting!!!

The worst kept secret in a while, but I'm happy for INoVation. This should spell the beginning for a global INoVation traveling to many more tournaments.
