SK set to reveal new team

29-5-2015 18:59

SK Gaming will reveal their new CS:GO team on Saturday, managing director Alexander "TheSlasH" Müller has announced.

SK have been looking for a way back into Counter-Strike for a while now, after their previous two teams - both featuring all-Swedish lineups - failed to produce the level of results the organisation expected of them.

Last month, SK were on the brink of signing the international team assembled by Mikail "⁠Maikelele⁠" Bill's and Adil "⁠ScreaM⁠" Benrlitom but they were outbid by Kinguin at the last minute and were forced to look elsewhere.

Recent reports have linked SK with the Danish team known as undefined, led by former CPH Wolves and n!faculty member Lukas "⁠gla1ve⁠" Rossander. Neither team nor the German organisation have so far commented on these stories.

Alexander "TheSlasH" Müller, SK Gaming's managing director, has now revealed on Twitter that the new players will land in Cologne before the end of the day and will be formally unveiled on Saturday after a photoshoot session.

This is what the guys will get once they arrive in Cologne later today! #CSGO @SKGaming yep, they are in the air now pic.twitter.com/lyuXiR1O9f

2015-05-30 00:45

MODDII and schneider are going to be in this team for sure.I think with Jumpy,BARBARR and RobbaN (probably)

2015-05-30 00:46

Does this really matter? Unless they are signing one of the hot teams right now, NO IT DOESN'T. They will lose like normal

This would be fucking sick no one is expecting this line-up! I think it's awkuard that they all started streaming, said they will try to play competitively and then they went out of radar for 2 months...

So let me get this straight, SKs new team is going to be even worse than kinguin?

2015-05-30 07:56

1 reply

like kinguin is a bad team? i fucking cant understand all kinguin haters. They are only 1 mounth together and yesterday they won against VP 2-0 and 2-1 with TSM. Or the brand new team has to win everything to be consider as a good team?

2015-05-30 08:32

would love it to be VOX, if not some oldschoolers in a new team robban / delpan etc

I think the vox players were playing in the australia match

2015-05-30 11:46

3 replies

actually unfortunate, australia have never done as well as they have in any version of CS, fzer0 had one good event in like 2003? Apart from that nothing, amazed how they do so well with bad training partners and actually always exceed expectations on LAN, them or Gplay (online fair enough) would be a worth pick just for an org to let them grow, need a team that is hungry to exceed expectations not players that get sloppy and cba practicing

I agree, could be amazing with VOX there. But I think they were playing this night or yesterday meaning it cannot be them. GPlay was at that Belgrade open event or whatever it was called. So ye, more valid guesses: undefined (ex cph wolves) a mix of great swedish upcomings (acer, 1337, ex property and whatever :D)

My wild guess (50/50), is 'undefined'.
