How it is translated? =)) Sorry if this topic is exists )

"Schroet" doesn't have a meaning. It might be a name or something like that or some kind of modified "Schrot" what means pellet (shotgun ammunition)

thanx =)

when I started playing CS friends tell me SK means "Schieß Kommando" in German.
In English it would mean sth like "Shoot Commando"

then your friends are either idiots or they wanted to make fun of you...

no, he is an idiot :D

Shrapnel Commando is what I remember as being the literal translation.

It's irrelevant anyway since the name has since been retired.

No the name was Schroet Kommando (SK) before it just changed to SK-Gaming without any meaning.
And since there is no word meaning "Schroet" it only can be a modified "Schrot" (as I already wrote above: Schrot means pellet) or a name.

no meaning for schroet in swedish too AFAIK

Schroet might have a meaning in Swedish. I still don't know if Sk is originally from Sweden or Germany.

germany

i remember that they used to play quake ( the creators of SK-Gaming ), and they used to shout "Schrot" from time to time, and then they comed up with Schroet Kommando.

Look there and read it. I don't know who wrote it or if it is right, but there is an explanation (Etymology).

One other likely possibility is simply that it is part of a german surname.
(one popular german surname is "Schroeter" e.g.)

you can´t be serious...

there was a great movie supported by Intel about SK... The founders of SK told that they haven't any clue why they choosen this name...
The part "schroet" was forged by Ralf Reichert. The part Kommando by Musa Celik!

maybe schroet is the abbrevation for Schildkröten (turtle) Kommando! ._.
i have a video about an early cw to prove it aswell, here you can see the turtles of SK vs the Hamsters of Hoorai! http://de.youtube.com/watch?v=3pRzoQVh25U

lol!

Schroet is Schroet is Schroet, end of story!

#theeky, it was the other way around actually ;)

What does Sennheiser mean? Shroet is a name. There is no translation.

what?

SK Gaming was formed in 1997 as a German Quake clan named Schroet Kommando by seven young people who all lived in the town of Oberhausen, among three brothers: Ralf "Griff" Reichert, Tim "Burke" Reichert and Benjamin "Kane" Reichert, supported by Musa "Kila" Celik, Kristof "Speed" Salwiczek, Carsten "Storch" Kramer and Sven "Ramses" Tümmers.
Initially, the clan was called Schroet Kommando; according to Ralf "Griff" Reichert, clan mate Celik (a.k.a. Kila) used to shout "Schrööt!" (literally meaning "shrapnel") when he took the double-barreled shotgun; they decided to incorporate this into their name and named their clan "Schroet Kommando" which translates into English as "Shrapnel Commando". This has been changed and the clan now refers to itself as SK Gaming, stating that this is their name now, and not an abbreviation for the original name.
