"Let's be realistic: With our current huge adidas-deodorant-advertising running, it is a bit absurd to come up with such a headline," said Alexander "TheSlash" Muller in response to rakaka.se's recent headline "SK Gaming without adidas" in an interview on Readmore.de.

TheSlash re-iterated the interview what he mentioned in his blog here on SK Gaming, that the multi-gaming clan is still missing money from 2008, but outlined that Steelseries will be supporting SK Gaming for more than two-years to come at the very least. "We are taking this fact as distinct sign of trust," said TheSlash.

TheSlash discusses the loss of AMD and their subsidiary companies ATI and Cooler Master, but believes "the positive collaboration with the partners of SK should outbalance the negative ones," with Western Digital, Bigben Interactive, Creative and Kingston all showing their support in 2009.

"Although we completely planned without AMD, we rushed into sponsor talks very early. They will definitely end in a partnership-presentation, soon," said TheSlash. "With pride I can announce that this new cooperation will indeed help us compensate the loss of AMD." You can read all the interview which has now been translated into English here.
