SK Gaming's American World of Warcraft division has finished third in the Blizzard Worldwide Invitational, one of the greatest events in WoW history.The lineup of Neil 'Neilyo' Mosunic, Vance 'Serennia' Phuoc and Patrick 'Inflame' Costales won third place at Blizzard's premiere esports event, the WWI in Paris. SK was the best American team in the entire competition and the finish in third place is respectable considering the circumstances.
SK.usa had lineup problems and used one of the European SK players in Paris and came to the event without much practice in the composition they used in the WWI. Still, they went all the way to the upper bracket final beating Pandemic along the way. They were stopped by Council of Mages from South Korea.
In the lower bracket final SK were one map away from clinching the final but the Sopaniards were a little bit better and beat SK 3-2.
Considering the little experience in professional play SK.usa have, their fans could expect them to only do better in the future. The boys picked up a cheque for $9,000 for their trouble.

sopaniards?LOLWOT?
nvm grtz SK,i had them second,behing improved clicks, i dindt counted with the azns top level!Sk-us playing with inflame seemed very solid, had more viable comps and at the moment has achieved more than original Sk roster
second of all if you read the articles you would know they had a new teammate, and that generally takes a long time to get used to the strats and rotations
grats guys very good result for SK
unfortunately they were in the same part of the tree as Improved Clicks and CoM...
lucky SK for the 9000$ :)
then I meant inflame. haha
Yeah was a shame that the stream quality sucked so bad : /
SK-Gaming can be very proud to be the best American / sponsored team and that with people that played little or never together before.
