In the Counter-Strike tournament at the International Esports Festival SK-gaming's CS team will be in action this weekend. They'll be competing in Group B where they will face the Korean WCG qualifier winners esq.wind and the Malaysian Team5, who were added to the event at the last minute.

While Repinz in Group A may seem an unfamiliar name it is worth noting the presence of a number of players with famous backgrounds in their lineup. loki and ssamba were both members of the project_kr team before it evolved into eSTRO and now WeMade Fox. With project_kr they placed 2nd at WEG Masters 3 in the late 2005 but were removed before the WEG Masters event in 2006. loki then went on to play with Lunatic-Hai, where he was a team-mate with longtime Lunatic member mal. mal is remembered for finishing 2nd behind SK.swe at CPL Winter 2005 and his AWPing display against coL at ESWC 2006.
