Gux misses IEM4 prize ceremony
By: MIRAA
Time: 2010-03-06 19:56
Game: Counter-Strike 1.6

Question marks have been raised here in Hannover, after SK Gaming's Rasmus "Gux" Ståhl did not show up for the prize ceremony.

When it was SK Gaming's turn to get on the stage and lift their $8,000 cheque, there was no sign of Ståhl as only four of their players appeared, much to everyone's surprise.

Ståhl, who joined SK in February, one month after departing fnatic, was instrumental in the team's campaign in Hannover, which was put to an end in the semi-finals, courtesy of fnatic.

It is reported that Ståhl left the venue immediately after his team's third-place decider against Evil Geniuses to board a plane to Malmö, where he his residence is located, but there has been no confirmation from SK of yet.

weird oO
2010-03-06 19:59:49
Probably for personal reasons.
2010-03-06 20:00:12
star?
2010-03-06 20:00:21
he his, of yet? Sorry, but this seems wrong to me :) Why should he been kicked? He has just returned back home earlier...
2010-03-06 20:00:33
or maybe he had some personal issues more important than esport? stop saying bullsh*t and wait for an official statement...
2010-03-06 20:00:40
Gux is a problemeatic player :D
2010-03-06 20:01:22
no he is not ? this has nothing to do with him as a player, its personal reasons -.-
2010-03-06 20:07:29
I think he is. But I dont say he is a bad player, dont get me wrong kid

I was pretty surprised when only four SK members showed up for the ceremony. Even allen looked like he didn't know what to do when the Intel guy gave him the last medals (the one for Gux).
2010-03-06 20:01:52
allen never looks like he knows what he's doing, It's part of his charm :D
2010-03-07 09:48:53
Without GuX , SK would lose , I'm 110% sure.
So stfu all.

If it wasn't for Gux they would have struggled to get out of the group stages tbh
2010-03-06 20:16:59
The bad think what we can expect is that he is going to be kicked from SK I guess, like zet missed his flight to Cologne Global Challenge i think, so this is not quite good news and while i was watching the closing ceremony trough ESLTV I wonder where Gux gone, so we got the answer finaly!:-)

LOL zet missed a tournament, gux just leave earlies but he participated...
that's different

he probably had important things to do and immediatly went to catch the plain..
2010-03-06 22:31:06
Gux is signing for other team.

ROFL
2010-03-06 20:20:02
he doesn't have any problems with SK, but yeah...fans are now the media :P
2010-03-06 20:21:10
Perhaps Gux didn't want to stand beside Fnatic in third place. Too ashamed? lol
2010-03-06 20:25:46
seems its been blown out of proportion abit, Prehaps he just had to catch his flight!

SK are sux exactly like ESL TV, if they going to kick Gux, better they shutdown the cs team and release all the four players.

What the hell is going on with SK, omg.. they signing new player, and kick him right after one tournament, realy sux.. "such a amazing manager.."

Nothing's done yet, why are you going crazy about them kicking Gux if there is no comments yet from SK ?
2010-03-06 20:39:35
Coz zet & Tentpole and khrystal was kicked in this way, after losing some tournament or things like that.

SK are sux if gux is really gonna be kicked from the team, who will be kicked next? face? OMG...
2010-03-06 20:43:48

Typical news sites to make a big deal out of it. As many already said; it's probably due to personal/family reasons.

amen.
2010-03-06 21:44:10
hahaha
2010-03-06 22:21:06
I feel prety worry for SK at this moment, cuz gux was on fire on entire tournament, he managed to be a strong new add for SK, i didn't expect gux gonna leave SK so soon [or maybe he's not gonna leave] as i matter a fact face didn't shine all tournament, face is the player to replace in SK not gux, or maybe i'm wrong [i hope that] gux got to go cuz an personal problem, or smft.
2010-03-06 20:56:26
so you would replace face? you mean the player with the best statistics for SK in the whole tournament? interesting choice...
2010-03-06 21:13:33
you sir, are a moron
2010-03-07 19:42:06
are you talking abouth me, or the other wannabe high?
2010-03-07 21:06:00
if sk kick gux, i just can say that they are a bunch of idiots and wont find noone better than him.

Its not his problem, what have we seen from sk this tournment, at group stage theyve been quite good overall but face and walle didnt show any of their potential. allen was probably their best player imo.
2010-03-06 20:59:02
haha I think even if SK will bring all 5 fnatic players, they will lose when they put tags
SK|f0rest
SK|DSN
SK|threat
SK|CARN
SK|GTR

kind a bad energy hahaha or something like that.. SK| tag are just cursed :D :D :D
2010-03-06 21:22:25
yeah ahaha i was thinking that, probably SK is a cursed tag and noone will ever win a tournment with that tag xDD
2010-03-06 21:26:23
hahahahahaha now I understand that I'm not alone with that speculation :D
2010-03-06 21:31:46
Used to like SK until I found out how they treated GeT_RiGhT a long time ago.

"He might very well go onto another team and be successful and end up destroying us in some future tournament."

-walle

And there we have it.
2010-03-06 21:47:16
rapha just did.
2010-03-06 22:07:21
I mean that only the CS team is cursed..
comeon.. kick budak, walle, allen, robban I pretty sure on 110% that one of them is the source of the "black curse" on SK hahahaha :D

poor gux =/

2010-03-06 21:25:18
looks like the same thing when get_right was playing for Sk, they simply ignored him, probably happened with gux and may be a reason why he left(if thats true).

Gux is too good 4 SK !
2010-03-06 21:04:20
ohhhhh COME ON , SK SO STUPIED. HOLD A FUCKING LINE UP FOR 2 MOUTHS PLZ
2010-03-06 21:11:33
maybe something in famaly?
I don't think that sk kick Gux after 16-6 16-6 lose with fnatic. It's just team was not ready for fnatic game. 1player can't win match...
So it's 2ways why Gux missed ceremony
something in famaly...
or he just too nerwios about losing to fnatic, because he told in interview thats sk was he's idol :D and Gux has punished himself
sry for bad ENG

Personal problems, no one would leave a team like that.
2010-03-06 21:29:42
people are so stupid. he just finished in 3rd place at the hardest tournament of the year so far, after joining sk like a week ago(lack of practice/chemistry/knowing his role). robban said he was the best teammate he has ever had, and he raped the whole tourney being sk's best statistical player. why on earth would you assume he doesnt like his team/they would cut him? morons..
2010-03-06 21:32:55

Also I believe it is a bit disrespectful not to attend the prize ceremony, regardless of what the reason was for not attending.

So you're implying he booked his ticket after their loss yesterday?

One option is that he did book his ticket yesterday, but I reckon the match vs. EG was delayed by quite a while, so reaching a correct plane could be difficult... then again he could have rescheduled his tickets after their loss vs. Evil Geniuses.

We'll eventually see.

I'm not implying anything. The match against EG wasn't that delayed, but the prize ceremony on the other hand was. I'll get in touch with the name himself, to get a answer to all of our questions.

2010-03-07 00:59:44
Yes, that is the reason why I am asking for, check out the videos at www.sk-gaming.com and see the reason why quality of the videos is so bad :-D
2010-03-07 01:33:30
Imo there are not planes from germany to sweden each hour so maybe it's impossible to catch such a plane even if there is an emergency.

Maybe he didnt wanted to stand behind fnatic at the prize ceremony, and I think but its only my point of vue that he must be disappointed to be THE man in SK and that everything depends on him. I mean fnatic has GTR, f0rest, dsn, such great players to up the game when another has a bad day, and victories dont depend on a single player, but in SK everybody hope that "GodGux" will be awesome and do the hardest job and it's boring for a man to lose everytime he is not at his best and not to be able to trust in his mates when he is not performing well.

you know thats its first event of sk with gux right?
2010-03-07 02:28:08
Sure but I mean Gux is a plus for a team, the team won't be worst because of adding him even if they have not trained, you can see that Gux performed well all the event he wasnt a problem in IEM matches.

Whereas on the other side we have walle and RobbaN and for years now they are performing very random, I mean they can be very good but they are very often bad and this had never changed with the replacement of the last two players, Tentpole was great, GTR is great, face is great, khrystal is great, Gux is too, but the problem still belong so you must be realistic the problem is not about who they add for the last two spots.
2010-03-07 02:38:28
Can you imagine allen walle and robban in different teams? can you? I cant. They just fit with each other.
2010-03-08 20:50:55
kick Robban... and let khrystal play again or someone else who is better then robban
2010-03-07 02:37:17
why not kick face together,and let moddiii&Gux in
2010-03-09 03:59:17

If you gotta poop you gotta poop. Maybe GuX ate some bad Bratwurst and he's sitting on the toilet, having diarrhea, thinking about better strats for the next tournament.

People sometimes read to much into things.
2010-03-07 05:04:50

wtf..?!?!

at least they managed to beat NaVi (allthough group stages, but still a win) and secured a 3rd place over EG with so many other great teams in attendance...

allen walle and robban are one of the best and most constant core players on a team besides fnatic's carn dsn and f0rest

we'll see what gux is up to
2010-03-07 18:53:29
Look, you right about allen, walle & robban, they really are the core of SK. but in interview to SK-Gaming.com walle said that "they gonna take some long break from cs to fegurate how they fail in this way.." (something like that, you can find the interview on SK-gaming.com)

allen, walle & robban are great players but in my opinion their time is pass, and the time to let yunger players play for SK and bring some better resaults.

He might have taken one to Copenhagen, as he usually does that.
2010-03-08 01:22:50
sssshhhhh ... Gux is reading this thread :O
2010-03-07 19:22:18
He was probably beating the shit out of fnatic in the backstage.
2010-03-07 19:40:38
kHRYSTAL >>> Gux
2010-03-08 01:26:51
lol
2010-03-08 10:46:05
doesnt matter who sk picks up anymore. gux is better than khrystal, but the team still performs at the same level. walle thinks its all about the players, but its the teamwork, which im pretty sure walle is responsible for. theres no reason sk cant beat fnatic on a given day based on their lineup, but the chemistry in fnatic is gonna win almost every time.

Gux = emo. End of the story.
2010-03-08 23:00:28
over-reaction, who cares... the dude obviously just didnt care (after losing) or he had more important things to do...
2010-03-09 01:58:55
Sk sucks hard@!@@

Actually i think SK gaming sell the semifinal to fnatic!!!
Yeah it was corruption i think.(two sweden teams).. Watch train semi final demo..Check out Robbans positions..interesting.. And some of communication problems,maybe directly.....

So probable SK want to lose this match for a pack of money...I think the answer for these corruption problems to make a verifier commission..
