Today we are proud to announce the birth of a new relationship between two historical Starcraft 2 teams : Millenium and TSL. Coach Lee, who represents TSL, and Llewellys, who represents Millenium, created a friendship that will be greatly beneficial to each other.The first set of big news includes: the sharing of Gaming Houses when players are traveling; a special program on MilleniumTV regarding TSL and Millenium players' practicing.In addition, there is something that a lot of you guys will be happy about; Millenium will participate in the GSTL aside Team TSL when our players will be in Korea. More details will be announced later this week.Coach Lee, TSL Manager, talks about this partnership :

This partnership is the first of its kind in TSL history. How did you get in contact with Millenium and why did decide on a foreigner friendship now?



When we initially wanted to form a partnership with Millenium, TSL’s Marketing Manager was able to help with interpretations and also facilitated an online meeting with Remy “Llewellys” Chanson to discuss our intentions. Millenium was very respectful and willing to talk with us, and we also listened to what Millenium needed from us. Millenium and TSL were both able to provide what the opposite party requested, which is why we were able to develop this partnership. I feel great because we are planning various programs for the future to develop a splendid partnership between the two teams.



Why did you decide on a partnership with Millenium and not another team?



TSL had talked to several teams regarding partnerships in the past. However, most teams often request sharing team names. To me, TSL is a brand name with a lot of sentimental and asset value; I did not believe in sharing a joint team name throughout the length of the partnership. I believe Millenium had the same opinion as I did. Although we are not functioning under a joint team name, I think that we will be more than capable of producing a great program, that both teams will be greatly beneficial to each other, and that we will establish an extraordinary precedent partnership.



Our team waited until now to establish a partnership with one of the most stellar teams, and I’m ecstatic that it was well worth the wait. I believe that Millenium will be just as excited about this partnership as we are.



What are your future aims and wishes in regards to this relationship ?



TSL players like Stephano very much, not just his plays but also his personality. We are very content and happy because we get to work with his team. We will produce good results and progress in tournaments through training with Millenium, and openly sharing strategies know-hows. We will also maximize the efficiency of our partnership through the use of each others’ practice houses, which will be available for use by both teams. We also believe the players will enjoy practicing and competing with each other both online and offline. Both teams will strive to produce an interesting partnership.





Do you want to say a word to both Millenium and TSL fans ?



First of all, thank you to Millenium for establishing this partnership with us. Millenium will further progress and achieve great success, so I hope that Millenium fans congratulate our partnership happily. We will participate in the upcoming GSTL together, so I ask that our fans will support our teams. I would like to ask TSL fans to also support and love Millenium players when they arrive in Korea.



In addition, we will be attending as many European tournaments as possible. I ask that Millenium fans also garner interest in TSL players, and that you will love and support them too.



Once again, much thanks to Millenium. I am sure that in order to become a great partnership, both teams will work hard to be their best.

Llewellys, Millenium Manager, talks about this partnership :

[M]Spit : Partnerships with korean teams are legion since the beginning the launch of WoL and GSL kick-off, why did Millenium waited that long to approach the korean scene ?



[M]Llewellys : To be honest, I didn't knew the korean way of management and thus had little to no contacts, I also lacked the confidence to organize such a partnership.



TSL is a team among many others, why choose them instead of another one ?



TSL was the most logical choice. First of all, I had a lot of contacts with him and Coach Lee, but also with the recruitment of Dragon I met Yuna who helped a lot in the talks by her translations but also by her energy and her willingness to make things happen between Millenium and Korea. She works more or less for TSL and I thank her.



Without getting into too much details, what can we expect from the partnership between the 2 teams ?



First Adel wanted to go back to Korea after his journey with Gameone and Stephano is scheduled to go back to Korea this summer, so a partnership between gaming houses was decided. But we wanted to go further with the participation of Stephano and Adel in GSTL under the tag TSL.M‡ which will allow them to participate providing they are capable and TSL reach the 2nr round of this prestigious competition.



Lastly there will be training session in common before important tournaments, some of them will be broadcasted and others will remain confidential.
