We are proud to announce a special World of Warcraft PvE cooperation between SK Gaming and Affenjungs INC.SK-Gaming today announces its new World of Warcraft cooperation as we are working together with one of the biggest guilds in Germany. Affenjungs INC (or Apeboys INC in English) is one of the top raiding guilds in Europe and is currently ranked number one on their realm, Frostwolf. They were the 20th guild in the whole world to complete the "Alone in the Dark" achievement, considered the hardest PvE achievement in the game until now.
They will be providing us with movies and PvE content for the SK-Gaming website. However, this is a mutual relationship, not a sponsorship deal. You can view the movie of that AiTD success below, as well as another pair of Ulduar raiding videos.

The guild has an impressive raiding history, which includes an appearance on GIGA TV clearing the whole of Karazhan at last year's Games Convention. They also had a whole host of German firsts during Burning Crusade, including Gruul (World third) as well as a vast array of German seconds such as Illidan, Kael'Thas and Kil'Jaeden.
In Vanilla WoW, Affenjungs had German firsts on many of the Naxx bosses, including both Sapphiron and Kel'Thuzad.
In WoTLk, they have continued their impressive progress and even managed to complete achievements on the same night as world firsts on a number of occasions, including "Heartbreaker" and "A Quick Shave." Affenjungs INC is currently ranked 28th in the world and 15th in Europe by WoWProgress.com.

SK stopped working with Curse which was a much more famouse guild because they didnt wanna spend money on financing pve'ers. SK Sansibar is a shitty WOW team whos paying SK to play under their tag. (ALSO Germans /LOL)
And this is a even bigger joke. Get a DotA team SK, and stop sponsering bad wow players.
paying the guildmaster to force a 24/7 raid schedule on his members?
intoducing shift raiding?
also note that affenjungs as a german guild only consists of german speaking players, while english speaking guilds can recruit people from all over the world.
28th in the world is impressive for a guild consisting only of germans (and probably some austrians and swiss)
That is just a lie.
Germans Top Guilds are Refuge(7), Irae AoD(8) and For The Horde(14). These Apeboys are extremly wayne. Did you, SK, inform yourself about your new partner? About wintrading, ninjalooting, randominsulting! Oh mei, Heartbreaker and A Quick Shave, are you kidding? Good luck -.-
Heartbreaker was killed by hundreds of guilds on the day they fixed his hp and since i guess you track the rankings on wowprogress.com where they have the kill tracked on the same day as everyone else you think it was a world first ... that's just gullible. Quick shave is a type of achievement that you get even when you are not trying to and it was done by hundreds (thousands?) guilds on a patch day and therefore it's the same kind of "world first".
This guild wasn't even near a world OR german first in their lifespan. Whoever wrote this needs to get a grip. They have absolutely nothing to contribute besides some shit killmovies that thousands of people in top 100 raiding guilds can make in 20 minutes.
But well, you can't really expect much from an article written by Zechs.
Good to see that most people realise this and state their opinion in the comments.
Just my 2 cents.
they still got the best guildname by far
ah no, im right
------------------------------------------------------
Translation of the post above for the rest:
"sk is a german clan!
apeboys is a german guild!
so why no cooperation.
I think that this is not considered about world firsts.
furthermore, you don't know the plans of sk and the apes. who knows what may come.
I see a good time for both with a lot of fun." (grammatical mistakes and abbreviations are partly taken over from the german version)

Description on this site. Even though the roots are german.
So you decide to recruit a guild who are no good but just happen to be German. SK really are letting there standards slip, but i guess most of the top guilds need no support from an org who is willing to take a payment to let any losers get under the name.
My 2 cents :)
