As an eSports team, intercultural respect is not only a part of what we do, it is a lifestyle we foster actively. This has always been one of the paradigms we had when starting the team more than 17 years ago. Even though we understand Svenskerens actions today were not meant to harm or disrespect anyone, they caused people feeling offended and therefore go against one of the core arguments SK Gaming is standing for.

Svenskeren apologised immediately after it happened via Twitter to the public, which was important, but not enough from our point of view. Therefore we are releasing this statement to make sure the community understands that we take this very seriously and feel like we have to take responsibility as well.

Over the years, SK Gaming has been an eSports team with players from all different origins and countries. Mutual respect for each other is what we want our players to learn among other things during their time with us. That includes gender, nationality, language and many many more.
We do hope the community accepts the apology of Svenskeren as a player and SK Gaming as his organisation.
