SK Gaming has grown to become a legendary name in the arena of eSports. Their League of Legends division is no exception, consistently ranking alongside the world's most formidable teams.

SK Gaming is lead by Carlos 'ocelote' Rodríguez Santiago who also fills the role as AP carry. His assertive and often times outright aggressive playstyle is what separates the team’s overall nature from the competitions'.

Long time SK Gaming veterans Adrian 'Candy Panda' Wübbelmann and Patrick 'Nyph' Funke fill the roles of AD carry and support, respectively.

The team’s newest additions are Filip 'Dedrayon' Romejko, as jungler, and Kevin 'kev1n' Rubiszewski, playing solo top.



This newly formed team is well characterized by its bold plays, cool and controlled coordination, action, and fast paced tempo.

In this article I review the players' statistics as a basis for understanding the team individually and as a whole.



Team Leader: Carlos 'ocelote' Rodríguez Santiago

O is for aggression. LOL WHUT?! Seriously, those Gunnar glasses you always see on him aren’t just there to reduce eye strain, they also let him see through the virtual blood splats on screen from all the enemy champions he’s cut down.

Carlos 'ocelote' Rodríguez Santiago is all about getting in your base and wrecking your *@%&! If you can remember the expression, “All your base are belong to us,” they were talking about him, they just didn’t know it yet.

As team leader for SK Gaming , Ocelote represents the heart of the team. His style is all in. He prefers champions with high short-range mobility, like Kassadin and Ahri, and also does the best with them. Why? Because of their incredible dexterity. He can dart in, burst, and dash right back out or even better, onto the next target, all while staying out of the direct line of fire. These high burst, high maneuverability casters are exactly what Ocelote needs to excel on Summoner’s Rift – making his average kill count the highest on the team!



Consequently then it’s no surprise that Ocelote is focused down in team fights. If you look at his stats, you see that his average death count across all three of his most played champions are among the highest in the team. You can only get that kind of score through playing like a man and going balls deep.

That’s right, he’s not afraid to die because he knows he's taking someone down with him – and on his best champion, Kassadin, he’s just outright deadly. Taking advantage of that short-range blink, silence and nuke, he will punish the enemy team for even letting Kassadin into the game to begin with.

In Solo Queue, this aggressive style can sometimes be seen as reckless, especially when your fellow team mates aren’t on the same page and don’t follow up – but in a proper team setting, alongside the likes of SR Kev1n and Candy Panda, Ocelote is at the driver’s seat of the deadly machine that is team SK Gaming .
