SearchSK Gaming Recruits [NA]
Posted by Morrell "mOnion" Munyon 2 years ago
SK Gaming has a large roster for a variety of eSports, including: Quake, FIFA, WC3, WoW, and Counter Strike. But now they can add one more title to their list, Starcraft.
French Clan 
Not Allowed has a phenomenal roster under their belt. Their players are located all over the world, and even include Chinese player 
Pj who took 2nd place at the WCG 2007. As a result, eSports titan, SK Gaming, has shown interest in the Starcraft scene and recruited 11 players from [NA] to compete in a multitude of offline and online tournaments in the coming months. Stephanie "Collide" Nguyen-Vinh, one of the new team managers, said in a recent interview that "we'll not only play Chinese and international tournaments like G-league, CEG, WCG, IEF, but we will also play in the Europeans leagues such as the BWCL, WGTCL and the Underground League." SK obviously has many resources and a great coaching staff, so hopefully [NA] will improve overall as a team and be able to dominate in more upcoming events!
Zhang Lu Ming "Super"
Interestingly enough, many of the players won't even have to get off the couch as a result of the merger. Five of the Chinese players from
[NA] live under the same roof as it is. So while the managers are taking care of the paper work, these lucky 5 are just hanging out, eating Flamin' Hot Lays and drinking Mountain Dew (mOnion is jealous). Jokes aside, the fact that the players live together and train together on a constant basis really contributes to the team morale, and is sure to help the team do well overall, according to the team manager. Collide also said that the "interesting mix of European talents like; Ryko and Zazu mixed in with Chinese superstars like PJ and Super will be crucial for success in theses online tournaments. We hope to represent SK Gaming to the best of our ability both online and offline."
So finally, here is the brand new SK Gaming Starcraft:BW roster:

| sorry...but this team sucks. only the chinese players are doing well lately...crow's time is over, too....and "wave, sparkles, viper..." never heard of. |
Zazu rox  |
congratz  |
| chinese players are good, the others foreign like #1 are unknown/semiriterid this is not a good roster for a famous and very strong multigaming such as SK gaming |
| nice :) |
| this recruit is good for SC scene :) gl |
| the chineses for TOT, so there will be balance between ESC and TOT, even with fnatic maybe.. a/w GLGL |
| Stop forgot me plz i'am leader xD |
| wosh neat |
| only knew Crow and ryko from the non-chinese .. i still don't know how they got the chinese to join, originaly, but obv it helped some.. tho, if one of the chinese decides to leave, they will all leave, I guess, and then, the team will immediately get dropped as they wouldn't showing any good results anymore. And now there will most likely alot of crying about lag with the chinese.. |
| S.C players join [NA]!!!^^ |
if I were to pick a this guys, I should take only the chinese guys + ryko and crow, the rest dont deserve to be in such A HUGE TEAM like SK-Gaming and just will give a bad name to it imo.  |
| LmL i think that one NA was friend with PJ so he decided to join to help some then he brought all the other chineses... Anyway gL to NA |
| RYKO LOL <3 |
| #8 haha, i wasnt sure which leaders were being included :P i'll add that |
| gogo Crow :) |
| chinese players strong crow strong rest total unknown not very well gamers |
| in fact is Me & Collide in managers 2v2 : Ryko wave viper |
| lol.. it would be really really sad if someone of the non-chinese get's a penny |
| I dont like this at all, SK-gaming is taking a huge chance in this T_t let's hope it'll pay out for them otherwise the SK- tag will be less memorable. |
| ohh nice go Crow ! |
| Very nice! :) GL! |
| preparing to SC II thats sure.. |
| ye they just preparing for sc2, wont be any big in sc. just squad rdy for sc2 when its out. gl yo! |
| @20 totally right^^ |
| Lets see... Gl |
| #23 i agree. Good luck SK |
| good luck, i hope they'll do well in leagues, chinese players haven't shown themselves in european leagues yet |
| SK :) |
| gogogo ryko :D |
| http://www.scforall.com/sctv/sc_tv01.asp?mNum=s03&movNum=303 Artosis speaks and says that this is looking similar to the Toad case. |
| basically a chinese team. |
| whoa artosis is pissed! THIS IS THE NERD RAGE I WANTED IN HIS SCWEEKLY! yayyyy he heard my outcries of sorrow! really though -_- i hope this doesnt become another toad situation |
| only know zazu and crow. But they were good years ago. This is just stupidity of SK |
| btw as i see in this sc whatever is called this guy is more angry @ bugg then thinking about the truth or something like that around SK. He just doesn't think that an abuser deserves spot in a good team. Cause he tried to "trick' him.. I think sk soon will drop the NA part of the team and will take some really good players from teams such as ToT and LRM. Just have no idea about the management part :) Cause as we all know there aren't much good french leaders out there. |
| Hey Bugg, respond to Artosis accusing you of cheating in the Spirit tournament... |
| hehe this was harsh yep they will drop the rest soon- this is just how it goes ;) |
| I made quite a lengthy post on their forums. Read it here: http://www.sk-gaming.com/forum/13-Starcraft/2296768-Question_of_Validity (please be mannered if you choose to reply). I urge everyone to voice your opinions |
| This is pretty bad manner by you Xeris. We should give a minimum of respect for bugg and others european players. I can understand that this team isn't as big as SK deserve but maybe they will recruit other player.(maybe you fear about your players :D) Bugg doesn't need all the shit you are talking on his back. SK is a big organisation and this is a big challenge for bugg and collide. As much as i know him, bugg never tried to fuck up your team xeris or every clan like you are trying to do now. He can do the same for your team and talk about the TT1 case but this is pretty stupid to do that and I really think you should take care of your ass and your own business than talking about that in their site. I know that many players are disappointed by this news but i'm sure something will happened pretty soon if you give some time for those 2 admins of course... |
| News gone from SK website. |
| quite Shocking we were rejected like 5 months ago, because they said not to plan on sc-bw squad until sc2, if i remember well. |
| wtf Zazu is doing here ? hahaha |
| nice team ! hf gl |
Yep #40 the news were removed but the team is still available on player's page. This is really strange, we are talking about SK  ! |
| from sk webpage: cn Lei 'Chinatttt' Zhang cz Jakub 'Crow' Sedlacek cn Chunlei 'Fengzi' Zhang cn Junchun 'Pj' Sha ro Paul 'ryko' Kirali cn Matthieu 'Sparkles' Giaccometti cn Luming 'Super' Zhang se Niklas 'Viper' Stenius cn Hao 'Vulture' Lei se Dennis 'Wave' Hedberg cn Patrik 'Zazu' Niemier seems like all french are removed, but sparkles with china flag. xD |
| I'm SparKles; |
| #45 they never added bugg and collide |
| as far as i remember bugg knows chinese and is friends with the gosu chinese guys. that's why he managed to get them on NA and now lead them to SK. but despite the communication i really don't see why Bugg would be a worthy leader of a team from such a huge organization. this is his very first stupid act - inviting some of his french buddies and some (relatively) unknown other guys |
| actually i was the only french player in the list if you notice ... |
| #47 why they did that ? |
