After a lengthy search for a new team, with multiple rumors being thrown around stating that he was either going to Axiom (to be with some of his former team-mates) or to join his friend Thorzain on team EG, the former SlayerS player MMA has found a new home on the Zerg heavy team featuring such players as Nerchio and Scarlett.
Joining him will be his Old Coach from SlayerS and a beloved member of the korean community, Cella.
"I am very happy to have met the people and the team. I didn't expect that I would meet people like them. Because of these people and this great environment, I will be able to show great results and I will work hard. Please look forward to my future successes and cheer for me. Team Acer Fighting!"
"Choosing the right team is worrisome and problematic, so I'm really happy to be moving to Team Acer.
I was very worried about adapting to a new team, so I really couldn't pick which would be the right team for me. But it was Force Panda Fred's encouragement which moved me and drove me to a decision. I had a lot of talks with Acer and since it sounds like our goals and desires match quite well, I've got no regrets about the decision. We'll do nothing but work hard to achieve those goals. Although right now I cannot say what kind of results I'll show you, I can say that I'll strive to show you something.
With Team Acer, it feels like I'll have more opportunities to shine, and the opportunity for a bright future. Also, I'd like to put every bit of power I have into working hard with them, because there's no doubt that we'll all work hard for the team.
Finally, I want to say “I love you” to SlayerS Jessica, who even now has sacrificed so much and put in so much effort and so much of her heart. And to Yohwan, who was always the encouraging pillar of support when things were hard, and was always able to see the road ahead and light the way when things seemed dark, I want to say that I will forever be grateful.
Now I will accomplish my unrealised dreams with Team Acer, the team that everyone loves and respects. And I will strive to become Acer | Cella."
The move by Acer should help consolidate their roster with a competitive, well-rounded terran player in team leagues, and also give the team more access to the korean scene through the connections and respect that Cella has, opening up the chance for even more Korean players bolstering their roster. You can find an interview with the team owner, Fred "Kaoru" Gau here.
With the shocking realization of the conditions the SlayerS team endured during the last months before they disbanded, his recent results while poor may be reversible in a more stable and supporting team environment, something which Team Acer is banking on.
We will just have to wait and see if this signals a return to form of one of the most exciting terran players in the world. Good luck Acer MMA.
