We are very happy to welcome [image loading] Socke to the team. He is one of the most famous european players and a true german Starcraft hero. This is a huge success for XMG as a SC2 team and we are sure to have a really good year with [image loading] Socke in 2014.
Be ensured that we will bring him as close to the fans as humanly possible. Youtubevideos and a lot of events are already planned.

WE ARE SO HYPED.

-- Lilbow Facebook --



Alongside [image loading] Socke, another player will complete our roster for the time being. [image loading] Lilbow. He is really new to the scene and will be our 2nd talentplayer next to [image loading] Salt. He is just 18 years old and decided to go full time on SC2 under XMG to try to compete with the best. He will train at ToD's place in the beginning and soon we will send him over to our good friends from myInsanity for a period of 3 months, for intensive training with the koreans!

" Hi, I am Socke, and this is my first day at XMG. Yaeeeeee."



Statement [image loading] Lilbow:

+ Show Spoiler +

"I am very happy to join XMG, i think that being with ToD will be benefit for me because of his experience in the SC2 pro-gaming world and in pro-gaming in general with his impressive warcraft 3 carreer. Also exchanging strats and training with the other youngling from XMG,Salt will help me a lot and I except it to be a lot of fun.Socke is a legend aswell, so I am motivated to train with them! I am also very excited to start training in the mYi house, i hope that playing in good conditions with great players near me will help to become better shortly and i will also (thx to XMG and my new laptop), finally, be able to start streaming regulary"


Statement [image loading] ToD:

+ Show Spoiler +
"We at XMG have realized our past mistakes, trying to recruit Zergs is not the way, so we're going full Protoss and boy am i excited to welcome Socke & Lilbow on the team. May we dominate 2014 with our forcefields, storms, feedbacks and ofcourse the best gaming laptops out there.

<3 Salt.

The Zerg exception here is MaddeLisk, she is awesome - and not playing under our protossbrand."


Statement [image loading] SaltTheWound:

+ Show Spoiler +
"I am surrounded by protoss. It would be pretty weird if my ZvP does not go through the roof anytime soon , welcome Socke and Lilbow!"


Statement [image loading] M|MaddeLisk:

+ Show Spoiler +
"To pick up protoss players is so 2014. I’m glad to see that XMG is following the trend and I think Socke and Lilbow will be able to do wonders together with ToD. I’m sure they will be just as happy as I am to play on a XMG laptop and even more so when swarm hosts are getting nerfed. I’d like to welcome them to the XMG family!"



Thanks for all the support in the past - we hope we can deliver what is expected of us Be sure to keep an close eye on XMG.SC2 in 2014.

Thanks a lot for reading and good luck to u all.

I was sure about Socke but never expected Lilbow. Great move, keep it up XMG!

Now where is Mana going?
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

Hm, who the hell is Lilbow? That nick sounds very familiar, so I have definitely heard of him a lot of times, but I really can't associate an event or face to it... Apparently (according to aligulac) he is the second best protoss of France behind ToD?
