ImageToday, SK Gaming rejoins the Halo scene by adding the team around former apeX player and now team captain Andrew 'Ramirez' Corrigan.

With this day, SK Gaming is officially returning to Halo on XBOX360. After this dramatic last week, including so many roster changes and all the ups and downs, new teams were to be built.

One of these teams is SK's new Halo side around team captain UK Andrew 'Ramirez' Corrigan. He is teaming up together with some old friends and very well-known faces of the Halo community, as well as one of the upcoming and most talented EU Halo players.

"It is so nice to be back in the Halo scene again" said CoD and now even Halo team manager DE Brian 'qntm' Krämer.
"I'm convinced that this team is able to bring big things for SK. The aim is definitely to become the best team of Europe and therefore, a lot of practise is needed. This team will bring SK back to the top of the Console scene.
Good Luck guys!
"

SK Console head DE Daniel 'Alcoholic' Lück had this to say:
"We are very happy and pleased to be back in the Halo business. I'd like to welcome the team and wish them all the best for their future within SK Gaming."

Andrew 'Ramirez' Corrigan

'Rami' , who comes from Sheffield, is the head of SK's new Halo Reach line up.
Although being a newer face within the top tier of players, the relentlessly aggressive player is currently the highest seeded player in Europe.
Andy is bringing knowledge and experience to the team and furthermore, he is committed to win all day every day. Having finished his first MLG attendence ever in Providence with a more than remarkable 13th place, he is full of enthusiasm and self-confidence for the upcoming weeks and the time with SK.

"Following my departure from Dignitas/apeX, I wanted something more from gaming. I wasn't having much fun and I needed a change, this is exactly what I was looking for, a perfect mix of players that I've wanted to team with for a while. To do this with the the support of such a prestigious and reputable organization is an absolute pleasure. 2012 will be a big year for us and I look forward to bringing SK to the absolute forefront of the Halo : Reach scene. A huge thank you to SK for this opportunity."

Alex has been in and out of the Halo scene since 2008. He definitely is one of the old faces among the Halo Community, but this didn't hinder him from taking home top 4 placements at major events. It was 2011 when he gained his first big achievement by teaming with MLG National Champion Kyle "ElamiteWarrior" Elam. After taking a short break, Fragby came back to play stronger than ever before. Known for his strong aim, selfless and aggressive style of play, Fragby will do everything for the team to win the game.

"Incredibly excited to start playing with my team and begin my journey with SK Gaming. Representing a community/organization such as SK is something I think every competitive gamer wants to do and I can't wait to bring home SK's first gold in Halo : Reach!"

Adam 'AdamsKi' Packer

AdamsKi is a veteran of the European Halo scene with a vast amount of online and offline tournament experience. Known as one of the smartest players in Europe, Adam's team work and map movement create a game winning combination.

Together with Fragby, he placed 4th at EGL London and they now decided to take the chance of teaming with their old friend Andy. Adam really puts all his love and energy in Halo. This is what makes him such a strong player.

"I'm really excited to be joining one of the biggest and most well known gaming organisations in the world. SK Gaming's success speaks for itself and I hope me and the rest of the team can emulate that in Halo: Reach. I speak for all of us when I say we are incredibly motivated and can't wait to get to work with SK from now and in to the future!"

Jake 'Chalkie' White

The newest member, Jake, is exactly what the team needs. He is one of the biggest talents in the Halo scene and a rough diamond. Being absolutely willing to learn and bringing an amazing aim, the team is eager to cut the diamond and help him even improve his gameplay. This is the chance he deserves and he will work 100% to show his true potential.

"I'm relatively new in the top flight for Halo Reach and I am grateful for the opportunity which has been given to me by SK. I've been playing for a while now but just been waiting for a breakthrough like this. I'm looking forward to representing you in the following months and competitions. Sucess in 2012 is guaranteed!"
