HOUSTON, Texas — October 21, 2011 — Today Quantic Gaming is proud to announce its ground-breaking partnership with the world’s top performing StarCraft 2 team from South Korea, Incredible Miracle. This partnership, dubbed “Quantic Incredible Miracle”, makes Quantic Gaming the official representative organisation for all Incredible Miracle players competing internationally.
Founded in 2010, Incredible Miracle has since become a force to be reckoned with in the StarCraft 2 scene, both in Korea and internationally. Their unrivalled line-up of players has not only garnered them respect and admiration from countless fans, but has also secured them over half of all GSL Code S trophies ever awarded. Their impressive list of victories makes them one of the celebrated and most successful StarCraft 2 teams in the world.
This news comes in the wake of the recent additions of Kim “SaSe” Hammar and Steven “Destiny” Bonnell to Quantic’s StarCraft 2 roster.
Incredible Miracle’s coach and manager, Mr. Kang Dong-hoon, had this to say in regards to this alliance:
“Many major foreign teams have approached me in the past, seeking to partner with me. However, all their offers were only ever focused on the short-term, and none of them offered the kind of special relationship I was interested in. I declined all of these offers straight away... but this relationship, this alliance, it is different.
Quantic really wants to help my team and players, to bring them to the world stage and to the international marketplace. Quantic wants to do this in a way that both honors and respects what we have built as well as gives our players the attention and exposure they rightfully deserve. For this, I will share my knowledge and experience with my North American counterparts, so that all Quantic IM players can be the very best they can be, to reach their true potential. I feel that this is not just a business partnership, but also a friendship. A friendship which I look forward to keeping well into the future.”

As a result of this partnership, all Incredible Miracle players competing internationally will do so under the “Quantic Incredible Miracle” name with the tag “QIM”. We look forward to having the Quantic roster being able to reach out and practice with their IM counterparts. Look for Quantic and IM to be interchangeable in the near future and also the possibility of more "foreign" presence in Korea,
Quantic is excited to a part of this revolutionary alliance. It is hoped that the relationship between our two teams will continue to flourish and deepen as we move into the future.
