Australian professional Starcraft II player, Jared "TtPiG" Krensel is moving to Korea for one month from the 7th of October 2012!
TtPiG will be attending the IeSF 2012 World Championship, playing against some of the best players around the globe for a slice of the $4,300 AUD on offer.
For more information on the competition and competitors, please go here.
After the competition is over, TtPiG will be heading over to Bucheon, South Korea to live with Team PRIME in their gaming house.
This will allow him to train as effectively as possible with some Starcraft II legends like MarineKing (Two time MLG winner) and Creator (WCS Korea Champion).
Jared "TtPiG" Krensel commented:
"I've had my eyes set on travelling to Korea for a while now. I've been eager to experience the evolved metagame and serious training environment.
With so many big tournaments such as ACL, WCS and IEM taking place this year I hadn't been able to fulfil this goal, but now with qualifying as the Australian representative for IeSF in South Korea I've decided to extend my stay for 1 month after the tournament to train with Prime! Prime are one of the hardest working teams in Korea and I look forward to experiencing the skill of these players and their hard training regimen.
I plan to adapt as quickly as possible to the Korean culture and with Primes method of training I believe I'll be able to take my play to a new level when I return.

His manager and sponsor, Mayo had this to say:
We have been discussing the idea of training in Korea for a while now and with the possibility of IeSF presented to us, we pounced on the opportunity to extend the visit and make the most of his travel.
Alongside this, training in the PRIME house makes perfect sense. Not only are they also supported by Tt eSPORTS, but they have some of the best and hardest training players in the game.
It's coming up to almost a year since we signed on TtPiG and since then he has proven a drive to succeed that we have not seen from any other gamer, we are happy to provide continued support to him in the future!
