Moon joins Fnatic.SC2
Posted by Radoslav "Nydra" Kolev 4 months ago
It was just announced on stream that Korean Zerg Jae-Ho "Moon" Jang will be flowing into the roster of Fnatic.SC2. The "Fifth Race", as Jang was known during his WarCraft 3 days, will also be switching to StarCraft 2 full time.
Yesterday, January 16th, Fnatic released the final hint of who their newest member might be. The spreading rumors across the community and the outlines drawn in the video let people to suspect that the "mystery player" would in fact be the night elf WarCraft 3 legend and Zerg SC2 player Moon. Today, joined live by Fnatic manager Elroy Pinto, Rotterdam and MrBitter confirmed the speculations - Moon is officially a member of the foreign team after almost half a year of being teamless since the disbandment of WeMade FOX in August last year.
Although splitting his attention between two disciplines, Moon did accomplish a successful transition to SC2, reaching the grand finals of both IEM V World Championship and DreamHack Summer. His StarCraft 2 career also features two top eight finishes at GSL January 2011 and MLG Columbus.

| nice strong team with the addition of moon hopefully he can get sum good results and if not pretty much the whole team can switch back to wc3 :) |
| You don't hear much of IefNaij nowadays! Hows he doing? He was certainly a beast in BW. Now he seems to be behind the hedge turtling around :) Someone knows anything? |
| Monn with a team again!!!! stop playin wc3 and own more in sc2!! |
| He will fully focus on SC2 now and not WC3, it's gonna be amazing! |
| Is someone surprised? |
| uhh i wanna know what they are paying him. at wmf he was getting PAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAID |
| no KOR protoss to spar with. very sad. |
| go gogogo moon ! |
| Moon has great potential now! With him joining Fnatic, he will probably going to a lot of foreign tournaments, which is great! :) |
No surprise, good luck "5th race"  |
ToD and Moon - two Warcraft III legends are now gathered in Fnatic. Awesome! I want to watch them stream together or team up for a 22!  |
| Moon is such a good guy :D |
| Nightend was undead in war3. This is team War3. |
| may i conclude that warcraft 3 is officially dead? how fking sad. |
| Good Luck with SC2 moon. :) |
| @ 14: No, not until China takes back the WCG Gold from Korea, however long that takes them. Getting beat by Korea twice by Remind and then Lyn is dishonorable, you see; they'll try their best to hold on until Sky can get another gold, just you wait. Glgl, Moon. Lots of love. <3 Heard Fnatic's picking up aLive too; if that's true, it's gonna be an amazing team. |
| #5 are u noob? moon is the man with the best micro and macro in the world. now playing sc2.xD sc2 was created for moon. xD |
| yeah moons macro in wc3 was insane... oh wait no macro. kk so moon STREAMING is the most exciting part no one realizes that we will get to fanboy it up almost everyday now? www.quiturjob4moonstream.com/tryouts |
Moon & ToD on the same team!! |
| moon is not so great he never won any wcg and let his fans down, he was on the same level like tod i would say but get more fame than any one else in wc3 grubby, infi, sky, remind, lyn > moon |
| Wow, this is some great news! :D |
| hahahha so bad for StarCraft 2 players :(((( I <3 Moon he is the best a.k.a The Fifth Race :) |
| in SC2 is The Fourth Race :) |
| #20 really bad attempt at trolling.. |
| lol @ #20 ^.^ If you knew anything of wc3, you'd know Grubby's nemesis was Moon as he never managed to beat him in important match series :) He also beat infi, sky and remind way more times than they ever beat him, so ya keep on trolling naab ^.^ Awesome to see two wc3 legends in the same team :) GoGo Moon and ToD ! |
