Quantic Gaming is excited to announce an official partnership with renowned Korean Starcraft II pro team, StarTale. The partnership will enable Quantic’s players to utilize StarTale’s pro gaming house in Korea to live and train with StarTale. As part of the new alliance, Quantic’s NaNiwa and SaSe will compete with StarTale in the first 2012 season of the GSTL under, “StarTaleQ”.
In addition to lending Quantic their housing and training services, StarTale will also compete with Quantic in foreign tournaments as their schedule allows and vice versa.
"I am extremely excited about this partnership as I feel that both organizations have much to learn from another," Said Quantic CBDO, Ben Shaver. "Although Quantic’s previous joint venture was short, we learned a lot, which has benefited us in making sure this relationship will work for the long haul. I cannot wait for the StartaleQ GSTL debut, and please make sure you root for us!"
StarTale’s manager Won Jong Wook had this to say, “I’m very happy that we were able to enter this partnership with Quantic Gaming and I hope this will be a win-win situation for both teams. We’ll make sure to provide the best environment for Quantic players to produce the best results. StarTale’s first priority will be the Global Starcraft2 League (GSL) and we will send players whose schedules don’t coincide with GSL’s schedule to Quantic to participate in foreign tournaments.”
