SK confirm CS division release

30-7-2012 14:20

SK Gaming have confirmed the report from last week that suggested the CS division was going to be released.

Thursday last week news surfaced that long time SK coach Anton Budak had left the organization and that Robert "RobbaN" Dahlström, Patrik "f0rest" Lindberg and Christopher "GeT_RiGhT" Alesund would do the same.

Not sent to GameGune, the future for CS in the German-based organization seemed to be coming to a close, which was confirmed today on the SK Gaming website.

With today's announcement SK Gaming's Alexander "TheSlaSH" Müller released the following statement about releasing the team:

"There is not much to say at this point, really, but to thank each and every player that wore the SK jersey in the past to play CS 1.6 for us. As an organization we are one of the most successful teams of all times and all those names contributed to this. With that being said, the community can rest asured that we are looking deeply into CS:GO right now and will have players for that game in the future if it makes it into eSport just as 1.6 did. Let's wait and see what the future holds."

Müller states that they have an eye on Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, a game which several of the now former SK players have been playing actively recently. Should CS:GO go big, then it seems very likely that SK will pick it up and mount a team.

Last tournament win for SK, on home soil in Stockholm

With the release of the team, following five players are now free agents:

Marcus "Delpan" Larsson
Johan "face" Klasson
Patrik "f0rest" Lindberg
Christopher "GeT_RiGhT" Alesund
Robert "RobbaN" Dahlström

Word on the street is that Dahlström is going to retire, while we have already seen Alesund, Klasson and Lindberg play CS:GO tournaments, while Larsson hasn't. We will do our very best to stay on top of what the future for the players will look like, as well as SK's possible engagement into CS:GO.

sad. RIP SK... And thanks for the fun. Good memories...

Yeah, I think f0rest and GTR wanted to stop earning money from SK and forced their way out by playing CS:GO instead of 1.6 with their only goal to join another 1.6 team.

if they wanted to play, they would've been together! It's not the orga that shut down the division forcefully, but simply the players didn't want to play anymore

Thanks to Valve? Seriously are you actually insane. What have Valve got to do with anything the SK Organisation (lets just double take on this, SK being a GERMAN organisation), do with their squads. I swear half the people on this site seem to have this deluded view that Valve pay every organisation from ESWC, and ESL, to SK, and others to drop 1.6, which lets be honest is incredibly retarded.

.... It's not like gux did not make the same move before? He left the fnatic of 2009 (where he won eerything with forp and gtr) for a struggling SK squad, I agree he will not come back (certainly not for SK) but your argument is very flawed

2012-07-30 17:06

2 replies

As far as I remember, he had reason to leave fnatic in 2009 (wasnt it 2010 already?). Now he quit CS to his study etc. And didn't he join H2k before joining SK? :P

2012-07-30 17:28

1 reply

yeah he did, but I meant your argument to leave a team that just won everything, he did exactly the same back then. wether that be for study or another team, does not really matter. and the reason he stated this time was the same as he did back then, even though I think this time it will be final ;(

2012-07-30 20:48

With the release of the team, following five players are now free agents: Marcus "Delpan" Larsson Johan "face" Klasson Patrik "f0rest" Lindberg Christopher "GeT_RiGhT" Alesund Robert "RobbaN" Dahlström Understand now?

xa xa :D good choice all nabs go to play dota.

2012-07-30 15:10

The reason is money. CS:GO is big money prizes from valve side and big events which drop 1.6 now. If it will be first event with amazing prizes like on the Dota2 International 1, everyone will switch on Global Offensive. I think Valve CAN fix CS:GO to be very interesting to play on competetive scene, like they did it with Dota2. But it's very very sad for legendary game CS 1.6.

2012-07-30 15:25

By the way, the people saying "hurr CS:GO is going to replace 1.6", you are fucking dumb. It's not replacing anything - It's just a new FPS promoted by Valve. The only similarity is that it has "CS" in it's name. They are not deleting 1.6 from Steam and you can still play the game. Oh wait, I forgot that everyone here dreams of becoming a pro gamer and ditches away his favorite game because of that. Protip: you will never get paid for playing a game so at least enjoy the good games you shits.

Crap organization! Good riddance! What's up now Delpan? How did the SK switch work out for you? 5 months of glory and story over! I would have been happier if players just moved to a new organization, so it's still sad that we're remaining with one less pro team in the circuit but definitely glad that a filthy organization is keeping it's paws off our sacred game.

Even if CS:GO fails, CS1.6 won't be supported again. So, you're desiring for the end of the Counter-Strike saga. CS1.6 its a dead game, not because of CS:GO or any other game title. Its just too old. Had a good run and so on, but nothing last for ever.

2012-07-31 01:51

1.6 is gone

2012-07-30 16:38

SK|SpawN those were the days ! - but i dont expect them to find new teams theres just a few tournaments left this year , and even fewer that will host CS . 2012 eSports closes its doors on CS 1.6 .

Really sick of reading all those "CS 1.6 is dead" comments. I mean, it probably is, and we all know it, but reading it over and over again don't make things any better. Just be glad that 3 supreme players at least chose to stick to CS, not 1.6 but at least a version of the game instead of retiring. I mean, come on, CS without f0rest and get_right, that would be the worst loss alongside probably neo retiring.

Players!!! The valve is trying hard to make the players to migrate to CS: GO ... The cs was taken from various world championships, but the valve can not remove them from our steams and not forcing us to play the damn CS: GO. In this last weekend I installed version 1.08 of Promod and I was very happy with the performance / playability of it! FOR ME IS THE TRUE AND ONLY IN THE LEVEL OF SUBSTITUTE CS 1.6!

...this is the end, my only firend the end.... (the doors :P) Enyone else noticed that they never invite CS:Source or any other version players to promote the new versions like CS:GO just 1.6 players ? What they doing now is they are ruining the scene that got them most followers by making xxx new versions that are just based on pumped up graphics so you have to buy new eq from the sponzors -_- If they wanted they could update the old engine anytime(that was way better for competitive play that these new ones) but i guess they milked all money from this cow so it's time to move to another... just sad

God, why ruin such a good game like cs 1.6 i mean, yeah no realistic graphics but who fucking cares? I mean seriously there will never be a game that requires strategy, skill, precision, just as cs 1.6 did. Sad day.
