Welcome back, Fredrik!
Statement from Fredrik 'MaDFroG' Johansson:
"When I decided to give StarCraft 2 a real try and the community got notice, I was contacted by most of the bigger teams out there. It was when SK was reaching out to me that I had the feeling you need to have as a player. It took us 20 minutes to figure out details and here we are, I am back in SK and I am proud of that. Thanks to the team in trusting me after such a long time and thanks to SK's partners that made the deal possible. Though I am not at a 100% competitive shape right now, both, SK and I know that I will get there in the future. It feels great to be back!"
Statement from Alexander T. Müller, Managing Director of SK Gaming:
"It must have been 2004, when I was passing over the trophy for eSports player of the year to Fredrik if I remember correctly. He is the perfect addition to our roster of players, a true world champion and what a great name in the community. Together we will try to achieve a lot of great things. Titles and placements of course, but also a lot for the community. Fredrik and SK have a lot in common when it comes down to things like that and you can expect some nice features in the near future."

and that you just ASUME that when MaDFRoG @ 100% shape would lose to TLO makes you look like a total fool. You can't know how good MaDFRoG is @ 100% shape.
"even when he's at 100% TLO > this guy"
You say "this guy" like he is some uknown scrub. Instead of saying his nickname wich is MaDFRoG. That's disrespectful in my book.
"so if I think TLO is better than MaDFRoG at 100% im being disrespectful?" Yes that's also disrespectful because you can't possibly know how good MaDFRoG is at 100%. Your not even giving him a chance.
A respectful person would say: Let's see who wins when both are on an equal level. May the best man win.
You are disrespectful !
The only game that was a real "rape" or "domination" was when frog totaly smashed tlo via mass lings and banelings traps with muta/broodlords and pre-borrowed lings at TLOs expo in the mineral line.
Tbh i think madfrog did very well considered TLO is one of the best players atm and it was TvZ.
But good luck to him and hard practice.
p.s. this is just my opinion
SC2 scene just continues where W3 scene (the REAL W3 scene) ended
Now bring in Insomnia aka Mr.X and probably Sweet and Zad as well and re new SK Pro Team :p
Pretty sure Zacard is totally concentrated on "real life"
Well, let's see how madfrog improves in a few weeks. he said himself, that he's not at 100% of his skill.
@MadFrog : PM me with your email for Bnet. I might have some challenging opponents you could train with. Ladder isn't much of a challenge.
