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."
