MYM unveils its new project : SC2 academy!

It is with great pleasure that we at MYM announce the rebirth of our SC2 section, which will feature 6 promising players from Serbia, Sweden, Germany and France.

It has been several months since our European Starcraft 2 squad disbanded, but today is a happy day for all of us at MYM as we can finally announce our return to the European Starcraft 2 scene with the signing of 6 talented players hailing from France, Germany, Sweden and Serbia. For quite a while now, MYM has been unrepresented in the European Starcraft 2 scene, with our name being alive in the scene only thanks to our partners at Team MVP. Now though, we are looking to slowly change that as we intend to keep building this team in the coming months. However, and as opposed to what was done in the past, MYM will now invest on the future. This new StarCraft 2 project is called MYM SC2 Academy and here are our rising talents:

 

Let us start with our first recruit : Vasilje "FooFighter" Kekovic who comes from Serbia, a country that is known for its Terran talents. Therefore it should come as no surprise to you that our new addition FooFighter is a rising terran star, and aims at becoming the best player in his country and in Europe!. FooFighter last played for  Alien Invasion which features some very talented players, which is why we are more than happy to welcome him to our team.

 

Our next recruit is very famous within the community: Silvano "NarutO" Bovo, as he is a gifted caster, and has been a familiar face in many tournaments since his Brood War days. NarutO is an experienced terran as he has been playing the race since his BroodWar days. In the most recent chapter of his career NarutO played for German powerhouse mTw, whom he represented at prestigious tournaments like Homestory Cup or ESL Pro Series.

 

NarutO isn't the only player that used to play for mTw, his former teammate Thomas "kAra" Ciolak is also joining our new MYM SC2 Squad. kAra is considered one of the best 2v2 players in Europe and forms the German National Team 2v2 pair with Delphi. A protoss player, he is also very skilled in 1v1 and is famous for his creative strategies, which earned him the nickname of "Smartoss". He already wore our tag a long time ago during his BroodWar days and we are very pleased to have him back for StarCraft 2.

 

Along with them comes our third German player, and another Terran : Rene "teNu" Duwe. Our youngest player is only 16 years old, but he has been practicing really hard and recently made it to Grand Masters. With about 30 games played every day, his motivation and his talent will undoubtedly make him a very solid player. His aim is now to enter more and more tournaments to keep learning but also to demonstrate his skills to the world.

Our next player was a member of the legendary ToT during his Brood War days:  Mattias "Naugrim" Ottosson. This experienced Zerg player, like many of his former clanmates, switched over to StarCraft 2 and attended several offline tournaments already. In Brood War, he made nice runs in the DreamHack opens of 2009 and we hope he can do the same on the newest version of StarCraft

 

Finally, our last recruit hails from France. A former member of ESC Gaming, Alexis "ShAyErS" Hamon is a solid Zerg player who has been around for over 10 years, and played several games competitively. After a break from the StarCraft 2 scene, he came back in March with more motivation than ever and will now represent our colours in every tournament he plays.

 

To sum it up, our Academy roster is now as follows :

Vasilje "FooFighter" Kekovic (T)

Silvano "NarutO" Bovo (T)

Thomas "kAra" Ciolak (P)

Rene "teNu" Duwe (T)

Mattias "Naugrim" Ottosson (Z)

Alexis "ShAyErS" Hamon (Z)

 

With this move we are back to one of the biggest games in eSports, and one which we believe will remain as such for quite a while.  We can only hope for the best in this move, and that our relationship with these player will be a fruitful one for both us and them.
