EG's new player is JYP, formerly of TSL. He will make his GSL Code S debut in an EG uniform, as well as attending HomeStoryCup IV and other international tournaments.

Evil Geniuses followed through on their tease that a new player would be added on December 30th by announcing the addition of South Korean Protoss

Jin-Young 'JYP' Park to their SC2 roster.

The former Team SCV Life will be representing EG in both the upcoming GSL Code S tournament and international tournaments. JYP's first event outside of South Korea for the North American organisation will be HomeStoryCup IV in Germany next week.

JYP is a former team-mate of EG Terran

Ho Joon 'PuMa' Lee from their time in TSL. The Protoss player left TSL on the 27th of November 2011.

JYP had the following to say about joining EG:

"I'm really happy to be joining EG, whom I consider the number one foreign team. I would like to use this great opportunity to show good results and I hope both the Korean fans and foreign fans would cheer me on,"

Alex "chibsquad" Garfield, CEO of EG, explained:

"We're happy to be able to offer Park the opportunity to not only compete alongside his longtime practice partner and friend PuMa, but also to travel and showcase his talent around the globe,"

JYP's tournament history has seen him twice make it to the Ro8 in GSL Code A. At IEM VI Guangzhou he reached the quarter-finals only to be eliminated by future team-mate PuMa in a three game sweep. In the up-and-down matches of GSL November he defeated Luvsic, July and HerO to reach Code S for the first time.
