The well known german organisation SK Gaming may part with the Starcraft 2 squad. This information ist given by rakaka.se and fragster.de.
This would be a reason of the bad results of the players  Joe,  Jimpo and inuh.
SK started in Starcraft 2 with the famous swedish player  MaDFroG who was not really succesful in Starcraft 2.
Lineup of SK Gaming:
Johannes 'Joe' Sabroe Witt
Han 'inuh' Park
Jimmy 'Jimpo' Wölflinger
If there are statements bei SK or something like this, i will update this post

i hope jimpo will find a new clan, he wasn´t that bad at all
|
not heard anything about Joe but i hope Jimpo and inuh will find another team
|
I honestly did not even know SK had an SC2 team...so I can't say I'm surprised.
|
Inuh is still in EPS, he's not that bad...neither is Jimpo...still, they might want to get some real top talent with full commitment which frankly none of these guys can provide (Jimpo is studying afaik, Inuh is working full time). Haven't heard anything of Joe in like...ever.
If they part ways I could imagine the Ts finding a new team rather quickly. Much bigger question would be who they would try to sign, it's not the early 2000s anymore, people can't just switch teams every day for nothing and practically everybody who does well in international competition is on a strong team.

How can u have a team with only 3 people including 2 terran, in the first place.
|
I didn't know SK had a SC2 lineup..
|
SK spent too much on their new HoN team :/
|
They talked about this on Take's stream today. Results haven't been good - not that they could expect anything else with three players from three different countries, mostly just playing in their home countries.

True true, I like to view a team with having 7 people minimum, and it doesn't really matter what races they play tbqh, 3 is just too little of a number.
|
That was really a ridiculous lineup for such a prestigious clan.
|
When I saw them pick up these players I knew that they wouldn't have results. SK clearly didn't put in the effort to make an AAA line-up, in combination with a lack of team-mates for practice none of the players on their team were real heavy hitters to begin with.
|
I'm still curious as to whatever happened to Madfrog, he was doing ok until something like May 2011, still like top 500 world according to sc2ranks although he parted with SK like end of 2010. Does anybody have more info on that?
|
i remember inuh being mentioned on day9, day9 would be like "inUH!" lol
|
Kind of a fail lineup. 3 players from different countries and none of them is a top tier player and they want results when none of them (?) is playing the game for a living/full time.
If they want results, a organization like SK need a bigger lineup with more potential or 1 or 2 already sick players that can provide good results and train on their own without a team, and thats a odd thing to do.

Madfrog wanted more salary without showing good results so SK dropped him.
|
you can't really call that a team, it's more like a clan.
no surprise they didn't get results, all are mediocre players (never heard of joe)

I think 6 should be the minimum for any team. 2 players per race so everyone can practice all the matchups.

if i remember right, joe was most known for having a decent advantage in a game against MC and then the game disconnected... atleast if that was the same joe =P
|
If only they convinced Testie to switch to SC2...
|
I forgot that SK had a SC2 team... I thought MadFrog played for mouz lol

Yeah, this was at Copenhagen Games if I'm not mistaken.
|
Maybe SK will do like in wc3 and focus on korean players? SK.FruitDealer? xD
|
Blaming it on bad results when they have 3 players from 3 different countries who doesnt even play the game full time + they are never sent to events except if it happens in their own countrys. I mean how many results can you have that way?
|
SK had a SC2 team ? :S
You learn new thing everyday lol

Wasn't he just too busy with his job?

Testie is not in sk anymore
|
Seeming as the HoN scene is pathetic, they just need Testie to come over...then again DotA2 will probably be huge :S
|
Seems really strange they never invested in a better line up than this. I understand why their dropping it, but it would have been nice to see them improve it :/
|
The only person I actually recognize here is Jimpo ._.
|
I recognize Joe (from Denmark right?) and Jimpo, but their team was REALLY weak. It's like they just recruited 3-4 decent players and then just didn't do anything with their team after that lmao.

Joe played in Copenhagen, beat Thewind in RO32, Merz in RO16 and lost to MC in next round.
|
SK don't have the money to sign good players/numerous decent ones
Why do you think they had madfrog on his own and now these guys? No offence to them but they're not top players, + with all the bullshit that goes on in SK these days with missing salaries, demanding prize money etc, it's no shocker that they can't find anyone.

The guy that rule league of legends are trying everything to get big before dota2 come out, it will be quite messy i think.
On topic, it's sad such an institution like SK isn't interess by SC2. 
|
Why did they release Testie?!
|
To be honest, I think that perhaps SK-Gaming should partner up with another team to co-team a SC2 line-up. It would be a great way to keep their hands in SC2 while avoiding the financial burden.
On a more critical note, I don't recall their SC2 line-up doing anything particularly relevant in the last 5 months. Also, is 3 members even really a team!? From this standpoint, it was wise for them to disband.
I hope the best for their players!
|
Ahhh, i don't know why is SK failing so hard with sc, both bw and 2. They have always had one of the best players in wc3 and cs 1.6

I wouldn't be surprised if that happens.

Yesterday they announced they were sacking their hon team and picking up EG's. Testie is already making tons of money from ads and making people pay to play with him, he's fine where he is.
|
inuh and jimpo are really good it's not because you don't seem them do top16 at DH or be in IPL or NASL that they are not good.
|
I hope jimpo finds a good team, hes a great player
|
Inuh has joined team Alien-Invasion and will be playing in Ai's pro rooster.
We're happy to welcome him and I think, he'll be a great addition to the family.
|
I guess SK Managment was unlucky with their money ::/
|
I never even heard of 2 of those players except for Jimpo who I knew beat Idra, but through cheese.
|
I think I heard of Joe somewhere. Didn't he almost beat MC or something? I can't remember but Jimpo wasn't actually that bad.
|
who is the cpt of this team? Reis?
|
SK failed double up this time.
First they hire MaDFroG but no one else so he had to play all alone on the ladder besides hes normal job that the SK team did not want him to keep.(the main reason why he had to leave the team) When MaDFroG departed from SK they pickt up a bunch of "nonamers" that never really stod a chance against the SC2 elite.
Im not trying to be sarcastic or mean against the SK team but I think they should have keept MaDFroG and tried to get some of the bigger names early on when Starcraft 2 came out.
(tobad many of the great players we see today got hired by their organisations in the beta or very early after release)
