drakE has been regarded as one of the upcoming players in Singapore for awhile now and the supposed heir to teammate Muse’s throne as the King of Terran in Singapore. With a solid and meticulous approach to the game, the 21-year old Terran prospect has an attention to detail rarely seen, and is regarded as a key piece of the puzzle in Flash's plans to scale the top of the SC2 scene this year.
Sum was one of the very first names that appeared on our shortlist when we discussed about expanding the team, his potential obvious shortly after coming in first-runner up in the NYP StarCraft II tournament last year after a long hiatus from the game due to being conscripted.
Coupled with the added incentive of an extremely conducive and luxurious environment to practice in (rumors say that it even exceeds the playing conditions of the EG lair), signing draKe was a no-brainer for everyone concerned in Flash.

Player Bio
Known for his undying dedication and the sheer amount of hours he puts into the game, Ryan 'Kyzersoze' Low is seen as one of the top tier Zerg players in Singapore. There are few in the scene who can rival his work ethic, or question it.
Kyzersoze and draKe were part of a secret contingent Flash sent to the recently concluded Cyberfusion eSports league Season 2 in Malaysia, where our main intention was for them to experience competing in foreign lands. Both did reasonably well, subsequently making it all the way to the quarter-finals before being taken out by the Mineski duo, EnDr and JaBi. Kyzer, in particular, pushed JaBi all the way before narrowly dropping the series 3-2 after taking the first two games in succession.
Flash has high hopes for our dynamic duo who were once the aces of the late Singaporean team iRL, and believes that Low can provide the competitive edge needed for our captain Revenant. The two have already sparred on numerous occasions in practice attempting to improve their ZvZ match-up, and the signs are good that Kyzer will come good in time to come.

Player Bio
Thomas was a late addition to the team and is the only Protoss player in the Flash.SC2 squad so far. He was part of team Supreme (SPR), an extremely stacked clan thanks mostly to their Korean contingent based in Southeast Asia.
His defining moment in StarCraft II came when he knocked out our captain, FlashRevz, in the SMU Cup, announcing his arrival as one of the few Protoss players who could take Rev on in his best match-up and win. This instantly alerted Flash to the 16 year-old's innate potential, and the rest is history.
Blysk has a unique playstyle in the sense that he tends to opt for a macro-oriented approach nearly every game as opposed to the usual two-base all-ins often seen from Protoss players in SEA. Currently a mid-level GM player, Blysk spends most of his time on the Korean server, attempting to perfect his own distinct style of Protoss play. As one of the few local Protosses currently remaining at the top tier of the Grandmaster ladder, Blysk will be looking to cement his spot as the best Protoss player in Singapore in the near future.
Here is what our captain Revenant had to say on the three new additions to the team.
Quote:
"The three additions to our StarCraft II roster comprises of three players with tons of potential; each one of them is willing to excel far and improve as much as they can. All three players opt for a very heavy macro oriented approach to Starcraft2, something which is a key factor for growth and unique in the Singaporean scene.
I have faith that all three players will be able to become the anchors of the team in a few months' time. Personally, it would be good if they secure podium finishes in individual leagues, and also empower us in team leagues to at least get into playoffs in the near future."

I do agree, will give it a miss then as this would be better for you and the caster if local for that reason (Might still consider applying BUT just juggling things with life first)
