You know, as much of a mess WoW was as an esport (though it did have its moments/epic games), this incident was even an embarrassment to the WoW PvP community between two players that were almost universally hated. Think CombatEX and Deezer. On a team.
And yes, it was SK gaming. And it was only one of their teams. The other one they had at the time was actually pretty respectable, but they are for the most part an awful organisation.
MC will always be oGs.

Kind of dumb IMO. Regardless of what uniform MC and NaDa are wearing, they will always be oGs players and representing oGs.

SK|HeatoN!!!!!!!!!!!

Quite amazed that so few people know Schroet Kommando (SK), amazing teams in CS, WC3, DotA, WoW - I love this news

2 of my favoritest players gettin' more love.

I was honestly expecting so much more when Alexander Mueller announced that SK had plans of focusing more on Starcraft 2 with a Korean-focused lineup. I had expectations of an actual team with a proper management and backing. I could easily see a practice house based in Europe or Korea considering the amount of money SK spents on their CS team, this doesn't sound unrealistic.
Instead of actually getting a proper Korean team they pull this... None of their wins or skills will ever be attributed to SK, but to their training with oGs, so what is the point of this? It feels more like MC and NaDa are just getting a personal sponsor via SK, but I can't see the benefit for SK doing this.
Even if MC improves amazingly over the next months, this will not make me feel like SK is a top team that can compete with the likes of Dignitas, Fnatic and EG. Because they have no players on their team. Just convinced some players to wear their shirts during specific matches. Two completely different things.

wow sk is really desperate, they dont care about player strenght, they just want famous faces to make $$$ of sponsoring deals.
I was in SK 10 years ago playing quake, and everyone was like a family, super friendly and caring about esports. Then the management changed and they dropped quake 3 for FIFA and shit.
SK should have died a long time ago.
yeah SK Gaming and Schroet Kommando are not the same to me..
|
sk is known to treat their players like shit if they arent being extremely successful
their success came from their undefeated cs team during the ~2003 era.. who eventually left to make their own organization after internal drama
most from quake scene have lost respect for the organization :>
|
SK is a bunch of thieves, too bad MC and Nada don't know that.
|
SK Gaming was a NY Yankee organisation in W3, buying best players - not bothering with actualy MAKING a team...so, nothing is changed...no love for them
|

he didn't understand.
explanation:
he compared SK with the Yankees; having money and buying the best players. had nothing to do with the origin of the organization.

A wise decision (for SK). Good luck to both sides.

SK had one of the best CS Teams ever and actually they have one of the best. SK had many Superstars in their teams. Fifa Twins hero and styla.

Don't forget MaDFroG and HeMaN.

SK isnt big in Sc2 since they don't have any succes in it. But since i played CS 1.6 on competitive level, not pro but almost i know of em
|
How is this supporting the western community? I could understand if they would "buy" Morrow or Sjow but Koreans... Dont get me wrong I love MC and Nada but that's just pure desperation by SK in my opinion.
|
Dont like SK as an organisation, mainly cause of the way that they treated the old CS 1.6 squad...
Also they always buy star players insterad of trying to build an own team.
The worst thing is that they will say that SK is winning Sc2 tournaments whenever MC or Nada wins a tournament outside of Korea...

The goal is to have instant success and brand recognition. Two top players who will represent them in foreign events (IPL when they expand, NASL, MLG, DH, IEM, etc etc) and produce more than likely top caliber results with minimal overhead - they don't have to pay out salaries, they don't have to worry about motivating them to practice to produce, because these are all things that oGs provides. The infrastructure is already established and funded, all they do is pay for plane tickets, hotel rooms and provide a translator.
The more I think about this, the more I feel like this move is going to backfire for SK. Not because MC and NaDa aren't good players, but given their performances in the past few GSLs, and MC's admittance to wanting to stay focused on Korea for a while... how much mileage is SK going to really going to get out of this. Either they force MC and NaDa to play in foreign events and travel more than the two are comfortable with, causing a potential decline in GSL/GSTL performance and oGs then maybe pulls out, or the two don't show their faces that much outside of GSL/GSTL for the next few months and SK gets a bust again.
