ESEA opened its doors again to StarCraft 2 this season, with 20 teams battling for $5,000 worth of prize money and the title of Season 10 champions. Infinity Seven managed to secure a place in the top 8, and was invited to the playoffs and managed to fight our way to fourth place and the $200 that goes with it, beating Nightmares and Team Legion along the way.

iS vs LighT eSports

In the winner’s bracket of the playoffs, Infinity Seven’s first round opponent was LighT eSports. CrazyMoviNG and Time were both able to secure their matches against KawaiiRice and SiN, but jEcho and Edge were not able to clinch their matches against their opponents, Binski and Heaven, forcing an ace match to decide the outcome of the clan war.

In the deciding match, Infinity Seven chose CrazyMoviNG as their ace and for LighT eSports, Kawaii Rice. In the first game, CrazyMoviNG was able to dismantle KawaiiRice as he did in their previous set. However, when the second game ensued, CrazyMoviNG tried to end the series with a strong 2 base play consisting of roaches, lings, and banelings. KawaiiRice with a timing scout was able to foresee the impending danger and made the proper defenses to fend off the attack. CrazyMoviNG, now set back considerably, was forced into a slow inevitable loss. In the last game of the clan war, CrazyMoviNG chose the map Daybreak, confident in his macro and patience. Near the end, it was CrazyMoviNG with his ultralisk infestor army pitted against KawaiiRice’s tank heavy army in a split map scenario. Realizing that he wasn't able to secure another expansion, CrazyMoviNG tried to out maneuver KawaiiRice’s army to no avail due to sensor towers stationed at each pathway. CrazyMoviNG, forced to fight against a seiged tank line, lost in a 58 minute long game.

iS vs Nightmares

Knocked down to the loser’s bracket, Infinity Seven played Nightmares next. Infinity Seven swept Nightmares 4-0, losing not a single game. Team Legion would be the next opponent, and they too did not put up much of a fight, ending the series 3-1.

Meeting LighT again

In the third round of the loser’s bracket, Infinity Seven and LighT eSports were faced against each other again. In the first match, Insur took out SiN 2-0, with an impressive comeback in the second game. However, Edge would lose to KawaiiRice, and CrazyMoviNG to Heaven, both 0-2. In the last match of the set, jEcho and Binski were tied at 1-1. Binski won the first game with a offensive bunker filled with 3 reapers killing jEcho’s natural, with a double starport banshee follow-up. In the second game, jEcho was able to ward off all pressure with minimal loses and won late game with better macro and faster tech. jEcho would need to win the next game in order for an ace match to occur. Binski chose Shakuras Plateau and went for a 2 rax build and successfully set up the 3 bunker wall at jEcho’s natural. With the natural hatch dead, the game was over, with no chance of coming back.

Infinity Seven finished off the season with top contention. Although losing to the top three teams of the league, Its GoSu, CheckSix Gaming, and LighT eSports, Infinity Seven forced ace matches from all of them, narrowly losing. As, Fourth place finishers in ESEA 10, Infinity Seven will work harder for next season and prove that they are a force to reckoned with.

CSN Interview with CrazymoviNG

January 22, 2012 - Yesterday, Barbarossa from the Cyber Sports Network (CSN) sat down with our Korean Zerg player iS.CrazyMoviNG to discuss his progaming career since the GSL, plans for the future and more:

A few months ago you performed in the GSL, beating True and Min. Then losing to HerO in a close series. Did you enjoy the experience? Do you think nervousness affected your results?

Going to the stage for the first time and playing there was a great experience for me, however I did not enjoy it as much because I played a game I pretty much won then lost. If I only won that game I would've had a much better experience. The reason I lost wasn't because of the beginning, but I lost because I wanted to end the game that would be unforgettable then I over extended which led to my loss.

With your GSL debut, you've acquired a fan-base internationally for your unique skill and style. Most of the StarCraft 2 community sees your potential to be a top-level competitor. How do you feel about international notoriety?

Honestly I never really felt the international notoriety probably because Korean and International communities are a lot different… In Korea most already forgotten that debut and I've never really explored the International community as much to decide whether they forgot about that debut or not.

Thundertoss Joins Infinity Seven as Coach

posted Jan 16, 12

Los Angeles, January 16th, 2012 - Today, Infinity Seven is proud to announce the addition of Richard "Thundertoss" Johnson to its StarCraft 2 team as coach.

Thundertoss' responsibilities will entail the coaching of Infinity Seven's rising StarCraft 2 team players, such as CrazyMoviNG, Maker, jEcho, Mentalist, as well as Insur and Pyre from the new youth team division.

"Having known Richard for a while now, it is with great pleasure that I welcome him to the Infinity Seven family. I have always been in awe of his passion for StarCraft 2 and the scene in general. Richard's addition to our organization further adds to our continued growth and I look forward to working with him and our players.”

- Zhang "zemotion" Jingna, Team Owner, Infinity Seven

"I've always respected Infinity Seven and considered them a team with great potential and fantastic management. I'm excited to start putting all my skills to use and just based on the attitude of the team and the improvements we've already made in this short time, I predict some impressive performances as we strive to make it to the top."

- Richard "Thundertoss" Johnson, Coach, Infinity Seven

We sat down with Thundertoss to ask him a couple of questions about himself, the game and the scene in general.

Richard "Thundertoss" Johnson

For those who don't know who you are, can you tell us a bit about yourself, your background and how you became interested in Esports?

I've been playing RTS games almost exclusively since I was about 6 years old and it's been my only steady passion. A few years ago my friends and I got back into the Brood War scene and would stay up to watch the major tournaments and ProLeague matches and when the StarCraft 2 Beta came out, I jumped on it.

Since I didn't get one of the earliest beta keys I paid of lot of attention to the content that was coming out. I was also in school at CMU so I couldn't put as much time into playing it as I wanted.

I attended Day[9]'s release party and it truly inspired me to do something for the scene like he had done. Shortly after, I ended up doing my own event which is now the Top 200 KOTH. I help a ton of people with modding, I've helped Destiny and Minigun with their gameplay and I've worked for z33k as well.

You've had success with the "Top 200 KOTH" series you run, what other events have you been involved with?

A lot. The JTV Invitational, Kingston HyperX Invitational, SOS Japan, CSL Champion Cup, Thunderzark Invitational, Thunderzone showmatches, Apocalypse LAN, Midwest LAN, etc. The Top 200 KOTH and the CSL Champion Cup are my two most important original creations and I sponsor them myself.

I've also worked with SpazCraft as well as some other famous showmatches such as the Destiny series and I've helped countless other tournaments behind the scenes.

What will your responsibilities be as coach?
