Well it all started when I watched myself in Free to Play a couple of weeks ago, something sparked inside me and I missed the competition. Cap and I were furious after losing the staff cup, we knew that if we found different team-mates, we could have a great shot at TI4. I'm not going down in DOTA history as that guy who managed to die 20 times and still win the game, that's not what I want on my gravestone. It was a mistake to retire in my prime, and I believe Team Boreas will be just as successful as MYM was in DOTA 1. We're excited to play in Nexon Sponosrship League 4, challenging ourselves against the top multi-national teams and of course, the one full Korean team.

A lot of people just think of me as some badass who used to be in the Marines, but I used to play a lot of competitive Dota as well. And now with the rise of Sniper coming back into the meta, my expert marksmanship skills can finally shine on a professional team along side a professional support feeder and bloodseeker player- Maelk. Being a Marine (once a Marine, always a Marine) hardcore training comes naturally to me, so I'm looking forward to some intense scrims with Team Zephyr. Hopefully those guys (especially Purge, dude's got a wicked field stache goin on) left us some Koreans to exterminate. I love nothin more than locating, closing with, and destroying the enemy by fire and maneuver.

Team Boreas, meaning the north wind, will be a multi-national team that sees FLUFF return to his role as captain. The former Team Liquid player who caused a stir with his heart-felt story of personal struggle in his award-winning blog helped lead his team that "has been a joke for as long as I can remember" to victory against Cloud9. Maelk is hoping the brilliant young mind can do the same for Team Boreas. The duo will be joined by MMR master Veldt, who recently broke the record for MMR when he reached 6.9K, as well as Jimmy "Demon" Ho and commentator Austin "TheCapitalist" Walsh. Demon will be standing-in as the team's fifth player until three weeks into the team's formation when he will leave to make way for a new player.What is more, in cooperation with joinDOTA FLuff has agreed to blog about the team's life in Korea live from our forums. Working titles for the blog includeandHis announcement has already reached rank #1 on Reddit , with users extremely keen to hearing from the emotional young American. Team Boreas will be competing in the ESL One open qualifiers announced yesterday and Maelk has released official pictures of the team's luxurious headquarters in the heart of Seoul.Team Boreas rosterJacob "" Toft-AndersenAustin "" WalshBrian "" LeeJoe "" KingJimmy "" Ho
