SK Gaming suffered a close defeat in their first match yesterday, losing 2-3 to youthful Team ALTERNATE 2-3 that put them at the ninth place of the table.

German Human player Marc 'yAwS' Förster emerged as the man of the match as he scored two vital points for his team with a string of impressive defeats of June 'Lyn' Park and Jin Wook 'Rohjinwook' Roh, and manager Min-Sik 'reis' Ko admitted that the outcome is acceptable.

“Yesterday we lost against ALTERNATE with a score of 2-3 which is okay,” he said. “ALTERNATE played really strong and Michael has just to get more experience.”

As a team that aims to break into top four in a bid to advance to the offline finals, a succession of defeats could turn out to be fatal, and SK Gaming are poised to make the best out of their BraBlay meeting, but not unaware of their opponent’s strength.

“Now we gonna face the russian team BraBlay with some strong players like XyLigan, ... I guess its time for us to gather some points cause it wasn’t the best start into the new WC3L.”
