SK are happy to announce the changes of the European World of Warcraft PvP team.

The old team previously known as Warders were one of the best teams around in the first arena season, as they managed to claim the #1 spot in the 5vs5 European regional finals. Unfortunately the team has been inactive for the last couple of months which has lead to this descision.

Big thanks to Zeksy, Dosferra, Tarde, Oteus, Lomas and Dajmex for their time in SK!

The new European PvP squad are probably already very familiar faces for all PvP fans out there, four players from the guild ZOMBIES located on Stormscale;
- Xom (Rogue)
- Another (Mage)
- Orly (Priest)
- Inflame (Warlock)

The team is currently fighting in the online qualifier ladder for the Blizzard 3vs3 tournament. More details on the players can be found below.

Xom, Rogue (Simon Palmer)
Location: London, UK
Age: 19
Background/game-achievements:

"Hello. I'm Simon. I play a rogue, going by a nick with m, z or x in it normally. In season 1 I played 2v2 with grim, we ended the season on 2300+ rating as double rogue. In season 2 I achieved merc glad in 3v3 and 5v5, then we moved to cyclone in search of better competition.

2v2: rogue warlock
3v3: rogue warlock priest
5v5: rogue warlock priest shaman mage

Prior to wow I played super smash bros. melee a lot. At the moment I main a RMP team with another & orly and we have managed to compete with the best 3v3 teams since we formed in addition to at one point having 6 teams in the top 10 of the 3v3 ladder with some parculiar 'lame' setups (such as spriest, mutirogue, ualock)."

Another, Mage (Valent Sebatijan)
Location: Zagreb, Croatia
Age: 20
Studies: Polytechnic of Zagreb, Computer Science
Background/game-achievements:

"Played an undead mage on Aggramar in season 1 where I reached top 10 in 2v2 and top 10 in 3v3.
At start of season 2 reached top 10 in 3v3 and top 5 in 5v5 until I decided to reroll on a pvp server.
Rerolled on Al Akir near end of season 2 and started playing arenas in s3. Reached rank 1 in 2v2 and rank 1 in 3v3 on blackout battlegroup before we decided to migrate to Cyclone in search of better competition.
On cyclone so far I held top 10 spot in 2v2 as priest mage and rogue mage, in 3v3 played serveral comps to top 10 and currently holding rank 1 as rmp. In 5v5 we are currently not playing but we were top 5 whole season."

Orly, Priest (Olivier Bellemans)
Location: Antwerp, Belgium
Age: 20
Studies: Applied Computer Science
Background/game-achievements:

"Played a gnome warlock for 2 years, reached rank1 in all brackets as UA on BG1:
2v2: rogue warlock
3v3: priest rogue warlock
5v5: druid, priest, rogue, mage, warlock

Started playing an undead priest at the start of season3 in ZOMBIES on stormscale,
since then I've joined the ZOMBIES guild officer team and ran many different lineups
to the top of the 3v3 Cyclone ladder, such as:
- ua lock rogue spriest
- mage rogue dpriest
- warrior dpriest mage

Together with Ánother we maintained a top10 spot in Cyclone's 2v2 ladder as Mage Priest,
inspiring many priests and mages to try out the combination.

As far as 5v5 goes I've been playing with ShowTimed and we're constantly competing with the top teams."

Inflame, Warlock (Patrick Costales)
Location: Euerbach, Germany
Age: 19
Background/game-achievements:

"I go by the name of Inflame in WoW and have held rank 1 in all brackets on Al’Akir (Blackout) back in season 1 for 1-2 months playing on my Warlock, Setups were Lock/Priest, Rogue/Lock/Priest, Rogue/Lock/Lock/Spriest/Paladin (hard setup lol) got rank 1 in the online qualifiers for the 5v5 tournament as well. I don’t play with any add-ons either since you wont be able to use any at a lan tournament (WOW IZ SERIOUS BUSINESS!!). I lost some interest in Arena when season 2 started but still qualified for the CGS 2v2 tournament running Priest/Lock, got rank 2 in the online qualifiers and got a free trip to Blizzcon in California where we finished second and then participated in the World Championships in L. A. During Season 2 I have also leveled a Warrior that I can play at a high level (WoW is hard y’know) got top 5 with druid/mage/warrior with Another a while back. I’ve been playing on the tournament realm mainly right now and got 1900+ rating after 2 days of playing."

Stay tuned for more information and details from the team as they plough trough the tournament ladder!

To a clearify things, SK now has three different WoW squads:
