ImageOn the heels of their strong finishes at MLG Columbus the two Swedish players are taking advantage of the new MLG-GSL League Exchange Program and trying their hand in Korea's two big leagues.

If there's one thing that Johan 'NaNiwa' Lucchesi and Marcus 'ThorZaIN' Eklöf have in common it's their determination to become the best in the world at StarCraft 2. With that common passion in mind and their stellar performances at MLG Columbus, both players have decided to take advantage of the newfound MLG-GSL League Exchange Program and accept two of the Code A spots offered to the top five foreign finishers at MLG Columbus.

This offer will be for the upcoming GSL Code A August tournament, and with it all us foreign fans will be given a special treat since not only will these two excellent players be participating in the individual league, but WeMadeFox has decided to take them on as part of the arrangement that GSL offered to foreign players competing in GSL through this program.

What this means for us is that both Naniwa and Thorzain will be teaming up with the players from WeMadeFox to form the combined "Team F.United" for the August GSTL event. So we'll be getting twice as much action out of these two foreign pros and for the first time they will find themselves working together for the common good of their newfound Korean teammates, something that will make their journey to Korea all the more exciting for their foreign fans.

We'll keep you posted as there is one more player that will be joining them that has not yet been announced, as well as what things are like for the exceptional players on Korean soil as they adjust to a new way of doing things while seeking the first foreign champion in the GSL. Stay tuned!
