SKDC change three

30-12-2014 02:51

SapphireKelowna have announced that they have revamped their roster with the additions of three new players.

SKDC have established themselves as a prominent figure in the upper echelon of the North American CS:GO scene over the last year, even though they always seem to fall short when paired against the top sides of the continent.

Following a disappointing seventh-place finish and a 3-11 record in the last ESEA Season, SKDC captain Kyle "⁠OCEAN⁠" O'Brien has decided to dismiss Owen "⁠wabbit⁠" Farrelly, Terrence "⁠Tvu⁠" Vu and Tyler "⁠Char⁠" Wallace, while retaining the services of Ellis "⁠els⁠" Clay.

To replace the departing trio, OCEAN approached Jonathan "EliGE" Jablonowski, an up-and-coming talent who raised a few eyebrows in JusTus Pro, and former Mobility duo Peter "⁠stanislaw⁠" Jarguz and Addison "⁠zecK⁠" Gorzeck.

"After a disappointing season in ESEA-Invite, we decided that a few changes were necessary," O'Brien told HLTV.org. "We kept the same core of the roster, and brought in upcoming talent in the shape of EliGe, stan, and zecK.

"We’re excited to get started and compete at the highest level. Our goal is to establish ourselves as a serious contender in the CS scene, which also means that we are seeking to represent an organization that shares this ambition.

"After 8 seasons of playing under SapphireKelownDotCom, we have mutually parted ways, and are thankful for all the support they have given us. We hope to find a new home soon; as we are eager to prove that we are a top tier team."

All organisations interested in sponsoring the former SKDC team can contact the players via e-mail at [email protected].

SKDC had the following lineup:

Kyle "⁠OCEAN⁠" O'Brien
Ellis "⁠els⁠" Clay
Peter "⁠stanislaw⁠" Jarguz
Addison "⁠zecK⁠" Gorzeck
Jonathan "EliGE" Jablonowski

still waiting bro

2015-01-01 15:14

It's called focusing on school and social life. Try it sometime.

2014-12-30 05:52

Yes that guys totally focusing on his school and social life rather than trolling hltv

2014-12-30 07:33

what does that have to do with anything lmao? i go to college and work and would rape both of you in this shitty game.

That's what unskilled untalented people tell themselves. You wish you could run off and be a pro player but you don't have anything near what it takes so you tell yourself it's because you choose not to. Why are you even on hltv shouldn't you be "focusing on school and social life". You're hilarious. I'm sure if you focused on cs you would still be shit and you know it.

2014-12-30 09:16

u know what? the players of skdc wished they could run off and be a pro player too LOL low tier muricanos getting called pro players? ya right. theres about 10 players in NA who can actually make a living from csgo and maybe another few noob muricanos who make a living from streaming but suck at the game.

2014-12-30 17:52

and there are.. like 5 good german players? even sadder.

2014-12-30 20:54

no, the sad thing is that u dont wanna understand that even low tier alemannios like mykpv.de or some shit would beat some muricano low team with ease. whats even sadder is that i didnt even talk about that to begin with and u just ran out of brain to comprehend what i was saying before. probably have a concussion from someone beating u with an icehockey stick bcs u sad something bad about the calgary flames or whatever so ur excused for that.

2014-12-31 02:26

1- germany is getting destroyed in the u-20 hockey tournament 2- pretty sure a solid 5-6 teams from NA could destroy semi-pro german teams. 3- who the fuck are you

2014-12-31 07:46

So youre implying that someone should only give his opinion if hes better? Shoutout to logic

"Hah better than you will ever be" Yeah and Justin Bieber is a successful artist, doesn't mean he isn't shit. They play at that level and deserve to be judged accordingly, not but by your retarded logic. Also, 3-11. 3-11. 3-11. 3-11 proves differently about them not being a low tier team

/thread

2014-12-30 04:00

The fact that Justin Bieber is one of the most successful artists means that he isn't shit. Yes his music isn't great - but that's all down to opinion... Sorry but your comparison is bad.

2014-12-30 15:47

Im happy there are news about ESEA NA teams. Sure alot people are talking shit about "who they" when they are silver4 or what not.. good news tyty.

Indeed, but they haven't said anything about LtK releasing DUM0RE and getting autimatic.

2014-12-30 03:06

wabbit was really good, this is another case of a leader dragging down a team by constantly keeping himself in the lineup. ocean probably shouldn't be in invite. oh well gl to them.

2014-12-30 03:12

I chose to step down as I needed to take a break from the game, i still maintain a healthy relationship with all of them. gl to them in their future endeavors!

2014-12-30 03:45

gl to you, hope you keep playing.

2014-12-30 04:54

wabbit the goat :(

2014-12-30 06:08

Keep playing wabbit! You have incredible skill.

2014-12-30 22:34

Kept the same core... Except they changed 3 players... How are 2 people in a team considered "the core"?

2014-12-30 03:15

5 replies

Well... ocean and els have been on the same team (under the tag skdc) for more than 6 years now iirc.

2014-12-30 03:21

Yeah, but keeping 2 players shouldn't be considered "a core." It should be keeping 3 or 4 players.

I guess the definition of core is up for reader interpretation

2014-12-30 03:26

It's certainly somewhat opinion. But a core, to me, seems to be something that's "at least" half of a unit. It's the centralized part of an object. For instance, you could consider Neo, TaZ and Pasha to be the "core" of VP, since they're from the now defunct "golden 5." I can't think of another time when I read an article where a team was considered as "keeping their core" after 3 players were swapped.

Yeah this is just a duo being retained and another 3 players being brought in to essentially create a new team. There is no core at all lol.

Who?

I literally have no idea who a single one of the players in this article are.

2014-12-30 03:56

ocean = the fifflaren of NA invite. I don't see how they're going to do shit without TVU, he was a fucking beast. Wabbit's awp was also pretttty good.

2014-12-30 04:05

alright? who the fuck knows these people anyway? i know 99% of the peeps here dont know who the fuck these dudes are. anyway, not to overly negative, i wish this team luck and steady aim.
