Team Iris are happy to announce that we have located the sixth individual to join our Academy. Charlie Ruffman is a 17 year old Diamond Protoss from Dunedin, who in joining has become our third South Island player, and perhaps more notably, our first Protoss in the academy. He will be working closely with main team Protoss IrisAnother, as well as his fellow other academy members over the next few months and beyond. We look forward to seeing his progress as a player!!

Thanks to all those who have applied so far. We're delaying taking further members on board for the next 2 weeks, however we will definitely bring aboard the second batch of recruits after this period is up! Applications will remain open during this time period also; they can be made out to teamiris@sc2nz.com .

In other news, Team Iris will also be releasing a replay pack every week! Each week will focus on a particular main team player, though we'll also throw in the occasional week of Academy player replays, just so you can see how they're coming along.

For the first week, I've provided a selection of my own replays from the Korean ladder. I even went to the effort of giving them stupid names . If there is anything in particular you wish to see from future replay packs, please let us know!

The replay pack can be found here.
