Delpan joins SK for WEM 2010

20-10-2010 18:07

SK Gaming have announced that Marcus "Delpan" Larsson will replace Robert "RobbaN" Dahlström for World e-Sports Masters 2010.

The team had on Friday last week confirmed their attendance for the Chinese event, prior to the official announcement by the organizers that verified the true attendees.

Dahlström was recently struck with food intoxication and has been ordered to rest for 10 days in order for the poison to clear his system, the announcement reads.

Former MYM ace Marcus "Delpan" Larsson, who is currently attending DSRack #3 and KGC #2 with Lions, has been asked to venture to China with the squad, an offer he happily accepted.

Larsson to act as a stand-in for SK

"RobbaN is too sick to attend WEM so we would have had to pull out of the event, which would have meant missing out on a great opportunity at an event which has a nice team list.

Looking for replacements last minute to potentially attend Delpan was top of our list and he happily agreed to stand-in to make our Chinese adventure possible. Everyone knows his skills as a sniper so we'll get a chance to see him showing them off in SK colours come November", Team Manager Timothy Ellersiek told SK-Gaming.com.

This leaves SK Gaming with the current squad for WEM 2010:

Johan "face" Klasson
Andreas "moddii" Fridh
Jimmy "allen" Allen
Dennis "walle" Wallenberg
Marcus "Delpan" Larsson (stand-in)

World e-Sports Masters 2010 will take place in Hangzhou, a metropolis the explorer Marco Polo noted as the world's most beautiful city, between 3-7 November, and will hand out $69,000 in Counter-Strike alone.

Great! GL Delpan and GL SK!

Nope, but he should still replace him, food poisoning or not. In terms of a permanent spot in the team as well.

everyone has a different opinion dude, imo manne > dennis.. That's why comments like "-A +B" or "A > B" are so useless.

2010-11-02 13:34

you are an idiot... allen is an amazing player and still is not washed up... do you even watch the recent SK matches for EPS nordic or their last LAN???? hes consistent. I agree that right now walle is the weaker link of the team... but i think we should give him a chance at WEM to see what he can do... my guess is walle will retire if the outcome of WEM and IEM european champion ships go negatively... why disgrace a LEGEND in cs who helped this game get so big by telling him he sucks and that he should be cut.... show some fucking respect

Wow, calling someone an idiot just because of an opinion. I've been following walle since his time in spiXel and 1.5, he's been a great player and a fantastic awper. He was one of the best when he played for NiP also along with HeatoN. I have never said that he sucks btw, as for your claim. The thing is, he hasn't really been any of these things mentioned in the past two years or so. This has nothing do to with respect, and a players spot in the team isn't determined by the amount of respect that the player gets. walle was and still is a great player, but I think his glorious days are over. So I shall ask you the same question, have you been watching SK's games recently? If so, you should know that he was been their weakest link for a long time now. Sure he has the experience etc. but that doesn't really cut it any longer. He was their ingame-leader before RobbaN was assigned as one, so that could be considered to be an excuse for his "poor" performances. He isn't anymore though, so I see no reason why he shouldn't be replaced with someone more talented and motivated :) I have btw never mentioned allen in any of my comments so why the shouting about him?

totally agree on this all respect for walle hes been an amazing player, but he should make a spot for a young and sucess hungry player.

2010-10-21 18:39

u replied to the wrong user, so ur the idiot and about allen is true cuz allen thinks about quiting for a long time now so .... noobie!

2010-10-21 01:58

this will be great if walle steps back for delpan to awp. walle IGL rifle player delpan sick awper :) anxious to see this!

A pretty accurate guess would be that walle will pick up his old IGL role for this event.

2010-10-20 18:15

- robban :D

2010-10-20 18:10

gl Delpan! show your skill with SK :)

2010-10-20 18:12

still they won't be a competition to the other teams.. i mean delpan is a very good player (i personally am a fan of him) but without an IGL they can't do much harm..

Walle has been igl for the past 7-5 years, so it shouldnt be a problem right? =)

2010-10-20 18:22

idd and its only 2 months ago that he stepped back from IGL role (and kept playing) so it's not like he's out of touch with nowadays CS... I don't think this will be a step back for SKs chances, assuming delpan will get the role of primary awper

2010-10-20 18:42

7-5 years??? i dont recall walle in the golden sk lineup with element :/

his still was IGL at that time

2010-10-20 21:07

he said IGL for 5-7 years... he didnt say he has been SK's IGL for that long, shesh was walle igl for spixel and nip with heaton/spawn etc?

2010-10-21 04:21

Thats awesome, really hope he plays well for them (which im sure he will) and they keep him on as a permanent 5th - but in replace of walle. RobbaN allen moddii face delpan is really the best possible lineup SK could get atm without drastically changing their core (or even with doing so).

2010-10-20 18:42

Did anyone else got an orgasm? :b Anyways, this may be his chance for look up for a spot in the team.. Even if that means sending RobbaN home (what i honestly DON'T want to happen). as said before: -walle, +delpan.. don't care if walle is on the team for too long, or whatever.. HE'S JUST NOT THE SAME WALLE ANYMORE :( (but he still kicks ass sometimes)

2010-10-20 18:44

here is his chance to prove that he is able to play in a big team

2010-10-20 18:45

I bet Robban ate some of that crappy chinese food!

2010-10-20 18:46

RobbaN is sick, this is a fake news, maybe SK want give Delpan a chance to see whether he has ability to replace RobbaN. btw, walle become a in game leader ag!!

2010-10-20 18:48

i'm thinking delpan is so tired to be stands-in :)

2010-10-20 18:49

Delpan = putana ,he playe for all teams

2010-10-20 20:19

- walle + delpan + RobbaN

2010-10-20 20:20

seems most people here either don't know how to read or are just plain stupid... RobbaN is sick, food poisoning or something and delpan is a stand-in for him since they need to train for the next event and it's unknown when Robban will get better.

2010-10-20 20:34

Is time to walle RobbaN and allen to retire, Delpan khrytal and others would make it much better for SK. Ridiculous hair btw.

2010-10-20 20:41

+delpan and xizt -walle and allen, Robban is still playing really good imo and hes the igl.

2010-10-21 00:08

whatever...they suck anyway..

2010-10-20 20:42

This food poisoning thing is so lame. I don't believe that excuse. Even if it had happened, it wouldn't take him so many days to get better. I think they invented that to hide something that wasn't ethical to publish.

2010-10-20 20:49

I have to agree. SK would gain so MUCH manpower if they replaced walle with Delpan.

2010-10-20 20:58

They can't train with RobbaN, cause he's sick. But they can with Delpan, so it's better to get Delpan and go to WEM prepared.

all your prayers answered fanboys :)

2010-10-21 02:03

They really should of kept KHYRSTAL.... they said he wasn't good enough but he was probably their best player imo... maybe it had to do something with communication.

2010-10-21 02:41

nice to see delpen

2010-10-21 03:01

even though these are wishful fanboyism opinions you guys really scale the peek when it comes to it and you dont put any logic into your arguements sure walle isnt getting the frags anymore but thats not his role hes a support player and if you watch closely he does a damn good job at it it kinda reminds me of how retarded ppl get when they see carn do bad and say cut him obviously replacing walle would set back sk more in more ways than one get a grip and actually see the how a team is made and how damn hard it is to stay at the top ya they arnt top 1 but i think top 3 is damn good look at navi mtw fnatic you dont see them cut their weakest guy everytime now think before you post or your just trolling
