SK Gaming bids farewell to Soju and ReMinD

ImageThe team league is a thing of the past and it is the dawn of a new day for SK Gaming's Warcraft3 squad as we say farewell to Sung Sik "ReMinD" Kim and Seong Deok "Soju" Lee.



There have been whispers around the scene about the SK Gaming Warcraft3 line-up but it is now official that Seong Deok 'SoJu' Lee and Sung Sik 'ReminD' Kim are now on the hunt for new homes.

"Warcraft III is a tough business and its hard to stay on top the whole time," explains Warcraft3 manager Min Sik "reis" Ko, "SoJu and ReMinD did not have such a good year, they showed some amazing games but some bad games too."

"There are not enough team leagues right now which gave us no other choice than reducing the team. I hope that both players will find a new home very soon."

Despite not winning any individual silverware aside from e-Stars back in August 2007 and 2nd place at BlizzCon, Sung Sik 'ReminD' Kim put on a good show in the recent WC3L playoffs. "Remind has been struggling a bit lately," said reis, "but I guess if he keeps playing like he did vs WE for us in the grand final he will be back in shape in no time at all."

Soju on the other hand is a very different being having taken first place at the recent NiceGameTV League Season 2. "There is no player that I have more respect for his talent than Soju," said reis, "he does not even need to practice, he just has skill running through his veins."

"The only thing that SoJu has to work on is that he can not focus when he is trash talking sometimes during the game, it is kind of amusing but detrimental to his game!" said reis, "we all have become close friends over the last year or so and it is sad to say goodbye. I wish them both the best of luck with finding a new team."
