Career

Chris Loranger was relatively unknown in the Starcraft scene at the start of the Starcraft II Beta, but was already very successful and signed to Team Millenium . After participating in DreamHack Winter 2010, he moved to Team Liquid in December 2010 . This gave him the chance to take part in the Korean GSL by being able to live and train in the oGs-Liquid-Team-Haus in South Korea .

His great success began in June 2011 with his victory at DreamHack Summer 2011, where he defeated his former roommate from South Korea Jang "MC" Min-chul , the first player to win GSL twice . He continued this winning streak at major tournaments at the HomeStory Cup III and with his first win as Evil Geniuses team member, to which he switched in August 2011, at MLG Orlando 2011.
