Zet joins SK Gaming, SpawN steps down

ImageA legend retires, another one makes his comeback. It is the end of an era when Abdisamad "SpawN" Mohamed puts his professional gaming career to rest, and the start for another one when Markus "Zet" Sundström makes his awaited return.





Marcus 'zet' Sundström is one of the most dominant and popular players in modern Counter-Strike. In SK he is reunited with the players he won a silver medal at the 2006 World Cyber Games with, Dennis 'walle' Wallenberg and Robert 'RobbaN' Dahlström.

Zet has not played in high profile CS 1.6 competitions for almost two years and represented LA compLexity in CS:Source. He comes back to SK Gaming with a goal of taking the team a notch higher.

As zet joins, Abdisamad 'SpawN' Mohamed takes a sabbatical from CS. The SK Gaming legend will take on another role in the organisation.

Markus "Zet" Sundström says:

"Ever since I stopped playing for compLexity I've only had one thought in my mind, playing with my old team mates from NiP. They have all been playing for SK for a long time now, so for me it was obvious which team I really wanted to join. It is s a great honour to play under SK Gaming, probably the world's most successful multigaming organisation."


Managing Director Andreas "bds" Thorstensson says:

"SK Gaming wants to begin with thanking Abdi for everything he has done for us. Known to many as one of the best players in the history of Counter-Strike, with gold medals in most major tournaments. With this winner instinct and dedication we know that he will succeed what ever he decides to do next.

We are also very happy to welcome the prodigy Zet. One of the best players who took a break from 1.6 at his peak to focus on Source in CGS. Now back more hungry than ever, and back with his former team mates robban and walle."


Anton "Budak" says:

"Abdi has meant so much for SK and Counter-Strike. It has been an honor having him on the team, always being very loyal. We have had a blast together and hope that he will work together with us one way or another in the future.

Zet joins the team with fresh new energy. We have been very close so many times this year and we believe he can turn this into future first places. Socially he fits very well with the team."
