The Axiom-Acer announcement video, narrated by the cynical Brit TotalBiscuit

Axiom and Acer have followed the lead of EG and Team Liquid in the ProLeague, and banded together to enter the GSTL, announced via their YouTube video. The team will be based in Axiom's team house in Seoul, Korea.

The announcement video features light-hearted player statements and candid karaoke footage, likely in an effort to demonstrate camaraderie and friendliness, and to eliminate any concerns of interpersonal issues between the players involved.

The lineup of Ax-Acer is formed in large part of ex-SlayerS players, as well as WCS NA champ Scarlett and Polish superstar Nerchio. Notably, Nerchio is absent from the teaser video. According to a statement from Team Acer, Nerchio's immediate priority is his studies, and it is not known if or when he will join the team in Korea.

SlayerS disbanded in 2012 after the departure of team founder and coach Boxer, an exodus of players, and a tumultuous period of drama which resulted in the resignation of the chairman of the E-Sports Federation.

Scarlett had a breakout year in 2012, where she became the first female to rise to the top of the ranks in the foreign SC2 scene, taking out 1st place in WCS Canada and the WCS North America Finals, advancing from the group stage in the BWC Shanghai Finals before falling to eventual World Champ Parting, in addition to a slew of other notable placings. No doubt, Scarlett's appearance in the GSTL will be of major interest to foreign fans.
