and maybe SKT8 in GSTL ? (that's a good one and you know it !)


Don't drop T8 into this please. The odds of SK sponsoring T8 is slim to none.

SOME FACTS EVERY MC FANS NEEDS TO KNOW ABOUT SK-GAMING!!!!!!! READ THIS!

esport legends Heaton and Potti told fragbite that they retired because they lost their passion due to SK Gaming not paying salaries. (interview is from 2011, but the events took place in 2003-2004 I believe)

CS 1.6 Legend SK Tentpoles girlfriend revealed in 2009 after his retirement that a huge factor behind him retiring was that he didnt recieve his salaries and prize money from events.

In 2010 Swedish cs player Gux joined SK-Gaming and played in the team for 3 months. In this period of time he won 2-3 tournaments but never signed a contract. Obviously Gux understood that he wouldnt recieve his salary because he never signed the contract, but the SK organization also refused to give him the prizemoney which he had legitimatley won at the tournament.

They were involved in a Scandal last spring 2011, where they signed a Fnatic contracted player Delpan and didnt pay the contract exchange fee (pretty much the same thing as the Complexity/Millenium dilemma, the diffrence is the problem still remains unsolved).

This just a few of all scandals SK-Gaming have been involved in.

Sources: (all these sources are in swedish, but you can easily understand the context with google translate. Also the video interview with Heaton and Potti is in swedish but has english subtitles)

I bet you're the same guy who posted this on the reddit "Thank SK + Reis HSCIV for bringing MC over" thread. Stop posting anti-SK stuff whenever they're mentioned, it's childish.

My apologies if you're not the same person, but from my memory it was all about CS and swedish article links and this looks like the same post.

Anyways, maybe not the best move to improve himself as a player, but more than likely the best move to try and grab the most cash possible. SK will more than likely be sending him to even more foreign tournaments now that he's fully on board with them.

No that's not me.
really the first time I'm posting anything against SK on TL
Edit: My main problem with SK is mostly that I have this fear that they might hurt the relations between the Korean and foreigner scenes, IMO TheSlash doesn't always do the smartest decisions PR-wise and looking at how sensetive the korean community is, the probability for something like that happening is huge looking at TheSlash's history. However i have lots of faith in Reis, and hopefully he will make sure nothing like that'll happen.

I really wonder how this will turn out for MC. Quite a risk to leave the teamhouse and practice from home in my opinion. There is a reason, why the korean pros live in teamhouses. But we will see how it turns out.

I disagree, its good to get all news about SK out there, and their not-so-perfect past when it comes to paying their players. I remember very well so of the shit SK pulled before, and if they try to pull it on MC the backlash would be tremendous.

What would the backlash be? A mob of angry internet kids? Wow I bet SK has already made their decision.

Don't ridicule how awful it would be to make all the followers of a particular eSport despise the company. PR is necessary in big, visible companies for a reason.

It is silly to think he won`t have practice partners. Almost every single post GSL interview of players they are thanking players from other teams for practice. Practice partners won`t be a problem, maybe the more comfortable lifestyle being at home MIGHT make him practice less but we don`t know that.

oGs looks weaker now in GSTL, MC was the only reliable protoss on their team (who didn't use DTs in all his matches)

I feel so cheated now, what if NaDa follows and oGs ends up with Supernova and Top being their aces TT

Lets hope SK pays him

Would be extremely surprised if someone as skilled and accomplished as MC got a contract that didn't include a salary :O


SK has a long history of not paying their players. Failed promises etc. Very top players too. MC is nothing special when looking at others who have not received payment from them.

Supernova is their ace now by default. NaDa has not achieved as much as Supernova in GSL or WCG

I feel as if I'm the only one not surprised by this O.o After hearing about Zenio having to leave oGs because he didn't want to live in the team house, it was kind of poking my head that MC would probably eventually want to move in with his girlfriend...

One thing to note is that MC actually wanted to live by himself. I don't know the exact reasons, but honestly when you have won that much money, you are able to get a good salary offer, and you have a nice girlfriend who you want to spend time more with, I suppose a lot of people would make the same decision.

I am so disappointed right now. MC was my favorite player by far and oGs was my favorite team. I feel so lost like when HuK left Team Liquid. MC and Huk were supposed to be oGs-TL buddies.

I have stopped cheering for HuK since he left TL. I have no idea how I feel about MC though. HerO hwaiting?
