kr found a new home in joining eSTRO today. Korean teams were pretty new in Counter-Strike but they proved to be world-class several times with achievements like 2nd WEG 2005, 3rd WEG Masters 2006, 5th WCG 2006, 6th CPL 2006 but also being 1st in CGEL and they also recently won the KeSPA eSports award being the best Korean team.
This is also the first time that a Korean organisation is signing new teams apart from Starcraft, Koreas most popular game, now having a Warcraft III and Counter-Strike division at eSTRO. Something that is not usual in Europe is having your own house for the team to practice, bootcamp and sleep but this is a common thing for Korea. Therefore the team will move to a new practice house in Seoul and prepare for the upcoming WCG Asian Championship.

Mr. Mitchell Hong, the CEO of the International e-Sports Group Inc. (IEG) said the following:
eSTRO will strive to be the best eSports club team by raising the bar not only in Starcraft (most popular game in Korea) but also international games such as Warcraft 3 and Counter-Strike. Everyone should welcome project_kr to their new home in eSTRO and support them in every event they attend.
