The LoL team has a major overhaul.The SK League of Legends team has decided that after recent results, a change in personal has been in order.
The 4th place finish in the Dreamhack qualifiers was very dissapointing, after being the #1 online team all year we have decided that in order to regain our reputation as the #1 League of Legends team in Europe, a new line-up is in order.
Sadly this means we need to lose some of our faithful players.
At this time we are having to say goodbye to the following members:
Franzetti 'Alth0r' Romain
Karl 'Farfain' Höjer
Asger 'Limelight' Karl
Christoph 'nRated' Seitz
Johannes 'Severus' Lüder
Benjamin 'SleazyWeazy' Hiller
This may seem like alot of players departing but it has been decided that we will shorten our bench to a solid 5.
To this end, i'd like to welcome you to the 3 new SK players who will join our team:
Adrian 'Candy Panda' Wübbelmann
Tim 'WetDreaM' Buysse
Patrick 'Nyph' Funke
We are delighted to pick up Tim 'WetDreaM' Buysse who will become our new in-game captain.
After their stunning performances recently for Gamed.de we are happy to welcome possibly the best AD Carry on the server Adrian 'Candy Panda' Wübbelmann and an exceptional support player in Patrick 'Nyph' Funke.
We can't thank the players who are leaving us enough for their services.
Carlos 'ocelote' Rodríguez Santiago has given a statement regarding the changes:

Carlos 'ocelote' Rodríguez Santiago has given a statement regarding the changes:"As you may know, some of the latest results as SK Gaming weren't the best ones preciselly without counting German EPS, and that's something we can't afford to repeat, especially in an organization like SK Gaming, where finishing 2nd is a clear dissapointment.
After this statement, we would like to thank our previous lineup for all the time, efforts and funny moments we spent together; but a change is needed, mainly for our fans, which definitely deserve more victories.
We are happily featuring you this new lineup which will give us the possibility to stick at the top of this game, once again."

"The 4th place finish in the Dreamhack qualifiers was very dissapointing, after being the #1 online"
Am I living on a different world? I mean, how could you be #1 in EU when you were losing like (for example) 80% games vs fnatic?
Hate that hypocrisy.
The #1 seed was achieved by winning the most Season 1 points through Go4LoL's, Cups and other events.
Therefore they had proved their ability. If SK lost 80% of games to Fnatic (which is incorrect) but they beat everybody else 90% of the time then what would that mean?
You didn't
I remember even ocelote who said that fnatic is better atm (before DH qualicifications, and he was the one who said that you are losing against (for example) fnatic as hell so..).
And why you say I didnt? Why do you compare me to your team, im noname, random morgotek in lols community, but ur guys are viewed everyday by lots of ppl, so please focuse on them.
It doesn't matter how the line up looks on paper. All what counts is how they are goning to work together.
I wish you best of luck, but please wait for some official matches before you say that you are #1 again.
I haven't said we are #1 again yet.
Results prove it you are right, and all year OUR results proved our quality, so i go back to the statement.
It was said that WetDreaM should go to somebody better, yet i don't believe there were any better options.
"I'm intrigued to know who these "better" than SK teams are?"
For me it sounded like you are the best with this line up right now (without any matches played).
Maybe becuase im not from English-speaking country :)
Like I said before, I wish you best of luck with new lineup.
