Changes in SK - New CS team
Today we are announcing two changes within SK.
Structural changes
SK has grown at a very high rate over the last couple of years; more teams, more players, more employees and more divisions within the company. Back in the days you could cover most of these areas yourself or with the help of a few coworks, today that is not possible. We believe that this structural change will help us develop even faster and more effcient in all our areas. The main organisational divisions in SK are now:
Community/Innovation: Andreas “bds” Thorstensson
I will focus my job on the web site and future projects (a couple of them already being worked on). The first task being the launch of the new site which I believe will change the way people see professional team communities today.
Marketing/Administration: Alexander “TheSlaSH” Müller
Alex will continue his great job in handling the relationships with our sponsors, he is also in charge of the administrative part of SK, which (has) will result in an even more professional organisation.
Player Management: Tim “merusame” Ellersiek
Tim already did a lot of team management task the last couple of months, but will now step up and take over the responsibility. He will still report to myself and Alex, but we believe he will do a great job, and be able to help the teams in a more structured and professional way.
Counter-Strike changes - walle and Tentpole join
We are happy to announce additions which we believe will be the key to success in the future for our CS team. The lack of an in-game leader was quite obvious in some games, and we think this will stop the ups and downs result wise. We have also strengthen the team with a real educated coach. The new team is:
Robert “RobbaN” Dahlström
Jimmy “allen” Allén
Abdisamad “SpawN” Mohamed
Dennis “walle” Wallenberg
Kristoffer “Tentpole” Nordlund
Anton "BUDAK" Budak (Coach)
fisker has decided to call it quits when it comes to CS 1.6, but will still be part of the SK organisation., the future will tell what kind of role he will take on. Striker will leave, and we want to thank him for the time he spent with us. He is a fantastic player, and I am very sure he will be very successful in any team he now will join.

edit: there isnt a soju profile in the wc3 team but the cs guys are already in :(
Why not 2007?
sorry bds, this might come as quite harsh, but:
get_right > allen
too bad fisker and striker are gone :(: miss ya
NiP dead ?
gl walle tentpole
first you want him ,then you test red .. red goes to css , hej striker wanna come back we can't find anyone else, couple of months later .. sry gonna kick you
Now best of luck to them and walle with Tentpole.
SK FIGHTING :D
But will it work? Guess we'll have to wait and see, on paper this team looks really strong although a fresh young talent besides allen might be missing.
Best of luck to you guys I look forward to watching some matches
get AlleN to grow his hair again too ^^
I think you could do a bit better than a little goodbye paragraph, no?
fisker played 2 more years than he should of. He should be happy :)
GL to SK with walle and tentpole. Solid ingame leader plus on of the most underrated players in the game.
So much you can do with the lineup setup and tactical wise is scary ^_^
He and everyone knows how much has done for SK. But like I said, he is not quitting and will continue working with us.
bye fisker
Fisker retiredm, gl in RL ! Cant wait to see his role in SK gaming organization. :)
First vilden then snajdan and now fisker, they have done almost everything for SK and now their gone and its only SpawN left in my eyes that really belong in SKs lineup.
Very sad about this decision, even if walle is good. It really doesnt feel like SK anymore.. :S :/ my insider support it for sure gone & good luck to striker hope you find a good team!
#53, shut it
