SK Counter-Strike in 2007
I am very happy to announce the Counter-Strike team that will represent SK in 2007. With the higher demands in the competitive scene, I am very satisfied with the addition of SpawN and Robban, and the comeback of vilden. I am not going to dvelve into a lot of reasons why 2006 didn't go the way we wanted. I have always believed in looking forward and that is what we are going to do with this lineup. To me it feels like a hot version of the team we had in 2005, winning CPL Summer and Winter. A solid base with SpawN, Snajdan and vilden, who have played a lot together for a long time, full with routine, tactics, leadership and last but not least skill. Backed up by one of the best newcomers in 2006 allen and the team player extraordinaire Robban who really proved himself last year. I am proud to present the SK Counter-Strike team of 2007.
SpawN
How does it feel to be joining SK Gaming and what are you looking forward to in 2007?
It feels good to be back. You shouldn't just like your team, you should feel for it and love it. That typ of love I had in SK, but missed in NiP. I feel at home here and I am ready to devote myself 110% to dominate this year. This team with all the benefits we have can and will be a force to be reckoned with. SK is back for real!
You have had quite a good year, do you think you can build upon that and push further in 2007?
We won almost everything with NiP but lacked that little extra. I am thankful for my time there. The feeling I have now is that things can fail. I have been part of a lot of ups and downs, so I have started to understand it. We will go devote ourselves totally. With the help of our fans, 2007 will be SK's year!
Robban
With the 2 of you joining together, will that help the teamwork in SK better since you know each others styles?
I am very comfortable with SpawN, both inside and outside the game. So this is of course a big advantage for us to improve and keep up our teamplay!
When you were in NiP, did you feel a strong rivaly between the 2 teams, or was that not a factor because you knew each other well?
That is just how it is, specially between the top teams and I guess even more between SK and NiP, because of the past.
Not only are they incredible players, they also fit in perfectly with the other SK players:
Snajdan
2006 was not the best in your career, are you eager to prove the world that you belong in a winning team, and what are your expectations for this year?
Thats right. 2006 was not a really good year for us, and I expect a lot from this lineup this year. I am really hungry to show all our fans that SK really can be the number one team in the world!
vilden
What are your expectations for 2007, personally and for the team?
I am very eager to really go 110% for 2007, as an individual player and for the team. With the lineup we have, I know we will go far!
allen
Last year you really set your mark on the professional esports scene, with a lot of nominees as best newcomer. Do you feel you will progress even further in 2007 with the new team?
Yes definitely, 2006 was not the best year for our team, and I am very confident we will do better now. And I feel that I can improve even more in this team. You have not seen everything of me yet!
