Nikolaus 'SonKiE' Cassidy 18, has been for quite some time now one of, if not the, top American Warcraft competitor, certainly one of the most active.

SonKiE recently won the WCG US qualifier, earning the right to represent the United States at the WCG grand finals in Germany next week.

SonKiE accounts for Gravitas’ one and only Warcraft acquisition outside of Europe, though their Counter-Strike and World of Warcraft teams are North American, as is a large portion of the senior management.

Alongside Yoan 'ToD' Merlo and Mihail 'XyLigan' Ryabkov, SonKiE is now the third human player in Gravitas’ roster, strengthening his resolve and pushing him to practice more, "Joining a top team like Gravitas has long been a goal for me. Being among a roster of players such as HoT and ToD really motivates me to train harder and become a better player,” as he explains.

“I will have the opportunity to meet and bond with my new team mates at this year's upcoming World Cyber Games Grand Final. I hope to do well, showing good results and representing my team as professionally as I can." he continued.

On the topic of SonKiE, President of Gravitas Gaming Corbin “cbnz” Crnkovic had this to say, "It's a great feeling to be able to add America's best Warcraft III player, especially before such a big event as WCG. We look forward to having Nikolaus on the team and think he will fit it in well with the current team"
