Counter-Strike: Project_kr joins eSTRO

By: Mark Cheben - Published March 12, 2007 at 3:30 AM EST - Writer Archive
The second place finisher of the second KeSPA cup has signed on with the Korean organization eSTRO.
Project_kr is the third gaming division within eSTRO joining the pro Starcraft team and the Warcraft III pro Dong Moon "GoStop" Kim. Project's last foray into multi-gaming organizations ended when their six month contracts with Hacker-Gaming ran out. eSTRO now is the first Korean organization to contain Starcraft, Warcraft 3, and Counter-Strike teams.

Project_kr scored several impressive results in 2006 with a third place at WEG Masters, a fifth through eighth place finish at WCG 2006, and a sixth place finish at CPL Winter. Most recently project took second place in the second KeSPA Cup to Lavega Gaming, the former home of several project members. With this second place finish Project's lordship over Korean CS is in serious question, also Lunatic-Hai is close to being able to compete in Korea again.

Estro's goal is to become the best eSports 'club team' as Mitchell Hong, the CEO of IEG, says in eSTRO's Press Release.

“eSTRO will strive to be the best eSports club team by raising the bar not only in Starcraft but also international games such as Warcraft 3 and Counter-Strike,” said Hong. “Everyone should welcome project_kr to their new home in eSTRO and support them in every event they attend.”

The team will move into a new practice house in Seoul and will be practicing for the WCG Asian Championships.


eSTRO fighting!
eSTRO's Counter-Strike lineup is:

South Korea Seonho "termi" Pyeon
South Korea Keunchul "solo" Kang
South Korea Jinhee "hee" Park
South Korea Sungjae "Bail" Lee
South Korea Hyunjin "Miffy" Son

Good luck to 'em, I'm sure they'll get the backing/support they need now. But I'm wondering if they will still use "pk" as part of their tag as they did when they were apart of Hacker =P.

Pretty cool. I hope we see better results from them in 2007 seeing how they will be living together in the same house and practicing all day.

Uhh project_kr is so underrated. They played really well beating wNv in wcg I believe, can't remember who they lost to. But they tend to do bad in those tournaments where you have to play group play and bo3. I think that since there haven't really been any true international tournaments yet, there stock has seemingly fallen because they are far away from where most of the action takes place. But they have amazing aim and a really great playstyle. It's a shame there is so much time between now and the summer lan season, we won't be able to guage alot of teams until then.
