I am please to announce the fray Academy team! But firstly I would like to thank all of the applicants for their interest in our team, we received a massive amount of responses, with over 50 applications! Each and every one of the applicants were talented, passionate and #dedicated players. I wish each of them the very best for in their development with StarCraft 2 and have high hopes for our domestic scene with these up-coming players.

However, it gives me great pleasure to announce the academy players. These players, I hope, will develop as local talent and be recognised for bridging the gap between their current position and be ranked amongst the top of the SEA scene. With a good amount of #dedication and perseverance they will achieve positions on the fray main team or with one of the other top tier teams within SEA.
