SK director speaks on dennis situation

30-3-2011 19:09

SK Gaming Managing Director Alexander "TheSlaSH" T. Müller has decided to convey some more information regarding Dennis "dennis" Edman.

Shortly after Anton "Budak" Budak proclaimed that Dennis "dennis" Edman was in the possession of a player contract with the SK name stamped on it, the organization has now decided to release an official announcement.

The announcement, which was made by SK's managing director, Alexander "TheSlaSH" T. Müller, states that they are on a good way of signing a contract with Edman, but until then, he will be acting as a stand-in.

"The status of dennis and SK is quite simple: We are on a good way of signing a contract and once done and ready for an official statement, we will post it here and let the community know. Until then his "official" status is standin."

While Müller did not touch upon whether Edman has received a contract or not, the Swedish player feels comfortable with the situation he is currently in, saying he is backed up by both the team and the organization.

"There is no need to rush things right now. We agreed on taking this slow from both sides. I do know the guys at SK and the team believe in me. Right now our focus is 100% on the upcoming tournament in Copenhagen and once SK and I feel like we have an announcement to make, we will do so."

"I am committed to this team and I believe it is more important to prepare for Copenhagen than it is to comment rumors where there is nothing to comment about."

Müller furthermore revealed that negotiations with Edman commenced right after the IEM5 World Championship, something which has strengthened the likelihood of a forthcoming SK exit for Jimmy "allen" Allen even more.

cool

because...i think this sums everything up, dennis is in testing, if he fails..allen will play until they find the next "dennis", this is my opinion:D and i don't think allen minds...he played many years, it's time to pull the plug:D

igl ain't all about calling strats dude... and even if GTR was a good igl, you need to be able to focus on your whole team's game and try to foresee the ennemy's moves and be able to play properly yourself, which means that GTR would be less great if he should lead...

I wonder if it's some sort of SK policy not to announce their players being removed from the line-up. Kinda like if they've never been in it in the first place. No farewells, no goodbyes, they're just gone.

Allen has, whats presumed and rumoured skelettproblems, that his back is having some problems. I don't know if the rumours are true but it can skeletalcancer... (The rumours says that) And dennis isn't the best replace, I'd more or less wanna see manne on that spot, or anyone else than dennis.

2011-03-30 20:35

It may sound silly, but I think f0rp and GTR might be pulling some strings for the whole "dennis instead of allen" situation. Btw, is allen the oldest player of SK? Not in terms of age, but in terms of the time he joined SK.

not every map needs an awper, dont see the importance of an awper on nuke or t inferno. wouldn't be useless to bring another aimer in, if they already have 2-3 guys who can handle the awp on maps that are neccessary to have awp on.

it will be nice if SK will take dennis at stand-in ! but allen is a good player and he played with SK for a long time,but time is going forward need changes !

How can dennis be their worst player statistics wise but they want him anyway?

2011-03-31 12:50

If you mean worst player in the time they played together then I can only think that he has really good comms with them and like moscow5 they have probably asked multiple Swe players and had to choose him.

yep

2011-03-31 14:37

maybe because statistics isn't everything in this world and maybe because they see potential in him. and just maybe that they have good chemistry with him and as Oxna said good communication... just maybe :)
