Sequential Gaming Bolsters SC2 Division

Sequential Gaming is currently one of the largest and most respected Australian E-sports Organizations to date. It has risen to be a competitive powerhouse across multiple gaming genres and rapidly became one of Australia's most successful teams, with SC2, LoL, HALO and Quake Live teams.

Founded in Late 2006 by Nathan "Nateus" Walton, Josh "merlin" Hoffman and Fabrizio "ver0n" Bottaro, Sequential Gaming, was formed with the intent of raising the bar in Australian Multi-gaming Organizations. With the overall division managed by Emilio 'glock' Escobar Sequential Gaming has once again risen to the forefront of Australian E-Sports.

Sequential gaming plan to turn their attention this year into further developing their SC2 & LoL squads. With a small but tight knight squad of only three players, they will be bolstering their lineup by adding 3-4 additional players to produce a strong showing to participate in any upcoming "Pro Team" leagues.

Pick up #1: Thomas "Stallion" Sturman

New Zealand native Stallion is one of the brightest up and coming stars of today and the Kiwi Protoss hope. His skill has not gone unnoticed and he has been recently invited to the Plunder Down Under Invitational and was picked up by social clan and reigning SEAL champions aLt. Being the amazingly well liked guy he is, the community held a fund raising drive to send Stally to Auckland to play in one last live LAN before he moves to Australia, with donations for his plane ticket coming from various members of the community. When Stallion is not playing games, he is a total boss who helps admin the SEAL Tier 2 division. He will also be practicing his micro and multi tasking on a daily basis in the planes you fly in as an air traffic controller in his new job in Australia.

Pick up #2: Bryan "nirvAnA" Choo

Singaporean nirvAnA is a true legend in the RTS Singapore scene, with a long history of gaming stretching way back to 2000, with 4 WCG national titles in 3 different RTS games and many other other local LAN championships under his name. At the recent 2011 September Singapore WCG qualifiers,

Shortizz who was observing him play started laughing at how slow he was. nirvAnA response was "i'm an old man. just chilling yo!" and he started to cry. He then proceeded to win the WCG with

Terran, to prove to old man everywhere that you can have an apm of 90, or at least Protoss players can. With the announcement of the end of WCG, that makes him the first ever Starcraft 1 and last ever champion of Starcraft 2 and he makes a point to brag about this to his clan mates everyday, and they will unfortunately never hear the end of it anytime soon.

He is also known for the "nirvAnA forcefield", by making complete fail forcefields on ramps, leaving a hole so units can go through. In more recent times, nirvAnA helped play a part in aLt's championship victory in SEAL, by going 5-1 (80%) in sets, defeating players SteFan, Light, Voices, MasterSPR and Revenant on the way. nirvAnA will also help with the managing the team if the need arises and inFeZa gets too busy.

Current Roster:

SQL.inFeZa (Manager)
SQL.Ninja
SQL.HuT
SQL.yang
SQL.Stallion
SQL.nirvAnA
SQL.delete
Mystery Player 2

TWO MORE MYSTERY PLAYERS WILL BE ANNOUNCED SHORTLY

Yay!!! Gratz Stallywally and nirvAnA! SQL Hwaiting!!!!

**nirvAnA** · Wed, 28th-Mar-2012, 12:55 PM

well in the first place the only reason we changed our status to that of a "pro team" is so we could play in leagues that only accepted "pro teams". Kinda like how we only sponsored moonglade just so he could play in NASL cause they only allowed "sponsored players" and after that we stopped. even NASL knew what we were doing and were cool with it cause it ultimately met their regulations.

However, even with our pro-team status we were denied entry, as the league admin was adamant about not rescinding invitations he had given out (the teams invited were relatively decent if u consider the state of the scene 4 months ago), so we did the next logical step which was to join an invited team to play in the league and we are happy SQL has given us this opportunity.

But wasnt there going to be an open bracket if SQL didnt have enough players that aLt couldve participated in? ^_~

Reere · Wed, 28th-Mar-2012, 1:43 PM

Congrats! Love to see big moves in SEA~

**nirvAnA** · Wed, 28th-Mar-2012, 1:44 PM

nope, theres still going to an open bracket. Us joining SQL had no affect on the open bracket and similarly other teams adding players won't change the format. SQL would have picked up other players anyway as they wanted to play in the league as they are refocusing on their SC2 division. stallion had being under consideration for some time!

anyway benji's making the announcement for his league in about 2 weeks its best to wait till then he will address all the issues, as this is just the SQL announcement thread after all. Its Benji league i have no say at all in the running of it but i strongly advised him to improve it as the scene had developed rapidly over the last 2 months and he came up with the idea of having the open qualifier. My advise for those who want to play in it (and dont have a "pro-team") is to join one. I suggested inFi to join up with one of the other teams they have a very close affiliation with but unfortunately the other manager has different plans for his team.

To my knowledge there was only going to be an open bracket because SQL did not have enough players, so unless another team drops out (again, as far as my knowledge goes), there will be no open bracket.

Benji · Wed, 28th-Mar-2012, 1:48 PM

There will be an open bracket, please wait a few weeks for the full details. PM me if you have questions.

Bloodmyst · Wed, 28th-Mar-2012, 7:14 PM

I apologize for going a bit off topic here.... but every time I see the Sequential name I can't help but think of Team Immunity, from the CS days I guess >< (Sorry Josh and Nate).

So does anyone know how Team Immunity is going these days? Do they have an SC2 team at all?

EDIT: iirc didn't MoonGlade play for them?

**nirvAnA** · Wed, 28th-Mar-2012, 7:21 PM

As a matter of fact you will be hearing some news about Team Immunity shortly.

Ohhhhh, looks like the SQL vs iM rivalry will be carrying over to SC2.

The question is, can they both teams make it to the top as they once did in CS? I like this. I'll be sure to tune in to any SQL vs iM matches. That's for sure.

BTW, thanks Nirvana.... now I'll be checking these forums too often to see the iM lineup :s

Mystery player #1 has been announced!!

Welcome

delete

to SQL!

Statement from delete:

I have decided to leave Team Supremacy and join Sequential Gaming as I believe that being a part of SQL will help me grow more as a StarCraft player. SQL has a strong lineup, and I feel my skill will grow with the diversity of races to practise against. Team Supremacy is composed of a bunch of really nice guys, and I have nothing against them and wish them the best of luck in the future both in StarCraft and other games."

delete is the winner of two wT competitions as well as the rascor open. Most recently he was seen defeating SenSei in what people would say was the Ace match of that day, giving his previous team SPR.RG the victory over Carnage in a friendly clan war.

We are proud to welcome this young and talented player abroad Sequential Gaming.
