Team Exile5 are incredibly excited to announce we're sending PiG and Dot to Europe for 3 months!
Last year, we sent PiG to Europe two times - for DreamHack Summer and ASUS ROG Summer. It is a very long journey to that side of the world, so PiG had to battle jetlag as well as all the normal difficulties of being in a foreign country. Whilst DHS went very well for him (only 1 game away from top 16!), his run at ASUS ROG was cut short due to illness.
This time, we're sending PiG over there for a very decent amount of time. This will allow him to compete in, not one, but FOUR DreamHack Opens. For once, he will not have to battle jet lag. Best of all, he will get to practice with low ping for several months! Dot will act as Coach, Manager and Content Producer. Look out for her updates on our Facebook and Twitter!
Summer - June 14-17
Valencia - July 17-20
Moscow - September 13-14
Stockholm - September 26-27
x5's base in Europe: mYi House
When PiG and Dot aren't attending tournaments, they will be based in the mYi House in Switzerland! This will allow PiG to practice and stream with low latency. Being in a team house will also allow him to speak with fellow mYi players who are there at that time, including Jakkji and Stardust. Dot will be able to work on Team Exile5 content and other areas of management while there.
Here's a nice video with mYi Pengwin showing off the mYi house
Of course, none of this would be possible without Team Exile and our title sponsor, NVIDIA GeForce! We're very lucky to have such a supportive team who is willing to invest so much money and help PiG achieve his dream overseas. We are extremely grateful of the opportunity and are keen to cheer the Notorious PiG on when he competes.
That's awesome , Pig showed massive improvements across the time that he was staying in the Prime house, it will be awesome to see what kinds of results Piggy can bring home after a change of environment!
Also Dot, I am looking forward to seeing some photos of European cities
