Kwame “Temp0” Mensah, known for his Starcraft parody music, ever popular stream, and casting for ASL and many other tournaments have joined forces with PSISTORM Gaming.

He will be in one of the leadership positions for creative promotions and marketing.

“Joining a team is always a tough but exciting decision, especially since I’m no pro player by any means. It’s more about what you represent and take pride in being a part of and help grow. Damen and KJ are great people, and I really respect what they’re doing. The team and I had the chance to spend a lot of time together at Red Bull DC. KJ let me put my skateboard in his truck and the rest was history haha. That combined with the fact that some of my IVD family members are part of it make me extremely excited to become a part of PSISTORM”, said Temp0.

He had met many of the owners and players at RedBull last month and ended up getting into a music video featuring his song:

Owner KJ “Freeedom” had met him 2 weeks before at RedBull Battlegrounds in DC and little did they know they would make a deal. In this infamous picture at the player lounge you can see TRUE along with Violet and DongRaeGu.

Less than half a day went by after leaving his European team Dead Pixels, that he was immediately scooped up.

He also joins Arium, which he faced a few months before in this entertaining matchup in Dreamhack. At the time they were on different teams, and now together at PSISTORM Gaming:

we got a Terran! we’ve added GM player Aaron “Cirrus” Russell to our team. He is from Oregon, USA and is very active on ladder. Follow him @CirrusSC2.

“I’m very much looking forward to being part of an active NA team again! I’ve known EndOfLine for a long time, and the rest of the roster seems full of excellent players who also seem like really cool people.”, said Aaron.

We recently saw Jake “NoRegreT” Umpleby going to the semis vs Scarlett/Huk in Archon mode, where he teamed up with Bioice in RedBull in Toronto, Canada. He is a GM zerg with an ultra aggressive style and is looking to make a splash in the scene.

“I’m very pleased to join PSISTORM, The practice regiment and environment should be super beneficial for me as a player. im sure ill have noregrets about joining PSISTORM.”, says NoRegreT.

Grant “Ares” Riew, a Grand Master Random player has joined the Academy team for PSISTORM Gaming. Just like his Starcraft prowess being able to compete at a high level in all the races, Ares has well rounded interests outside of the game. He is from Missouri, will be going to Harvard University in the fall. He is an avid tennis player and a cellist for National Youth Orchestra of the USA.

“I’m super excited to be a part of this awesome team – everyone seems super nice and you all better get ready for some random action :D”, says Ares.

Erik “EndOfLine” Faden is officially announced as the team captain for the Starcraft II team of PSISTORM Gaming. Erik who is a GM zerg who plays an innovative style, was nominated and voted on by the players. He has shown a great deal of leadership, and willingness to provide his time by practicing with the members, encouragement, and even providing mental and physical coaching tips.

Erik is a physical trainer, and has a long history with mixed martial arts. He is also an avid brewer of beer, often seen drinking from his tall schooner of concoctions while streaming. He also recently just got married and returned from his honeymoon saying he missed playing Starcraft. All this experience makes for a perfect combination of life and competition knowledge for the younger talents.
