If you were at Silicon Sports BarCraft Melbourne on the weekend, you would have seen the official introduction to the crowd of Team Silicon Sports Captain, Mark 'Petrify' Fittipaldi and Kerry 'Kez' Hopkins along with a new face in the lineup.

I am extremely happy to have Jack 'Pezz' Perry join Team Silicon Sports as our first Protoss player. Some of you might recognise him as the winner of the Cydus LAN Tournament held a few weekends ago. He is definitely and up and comer, certainly giving Petrify and Kez a run for their money. I am sure he will add a lot of steel to the lineup.

Speaking of new players, we also introduced our first Terran player at BarCraft Melbourne XII. Whilst he couldn’t join us on the night, Wilson ‘StoicWilly’ Mun, is definitely one Terran to reckon with. Being a Terran player myself, I am excited to have a player of Wilson’s calibre on the team (plus the free coaching I get haha). This now brings our team lineup to two Zerg, 1 Protoss and 1 Terran and is now starting to look quite balanced.

Now some of you will notice that we should have three Zerg in the roster. Henry 'RivaL' Yum has decided to take some time off to concentrate on personal endeavours in charity for some time and has retired from eSports for now. He is still a good friend of Team Silicon Sports and we wish him all the best in his future works.

I would also like to introduce another member to the Team Silicon Sports family. Aaron ‘CautioN’ Chung joins us as manager and talent scout of an exciting new project we will be launching very soon, the Silicon Sports Academy! Aaron has been very active in the community running numerous LANs in Melbourne and his dedication to eSports is a quality we have been searching for to help us run the academy and help identify new talent. More detail on the Silicon Sports Academy and how you can get involved will be announced soon.

Team Silicon Sports is definitely taking shape with the quality additions of Pezz and Stoic to the roster. I am looking forward to seeing the team and the individuals improve and ultimately succeed. With the addition of the Silicon Sports Academy, we will be on the look out for fresh talent from the SEA region and help them get where they want to be. The future is looking great!

Synthetic & I will continue to do our best for the Melbourne and SEA communities with BarCraft Melbourne, tournaments and the promotion of talented players in the local scene.
