SK open US team
SK Gaming have announced the addition of an American Counter-Strike division to the organisation.
Reports of an American SK team had been around for some time, after former SK female player Alice "ali" Lew and a handful of other American players signed up on the ESEA website as "SK Female US" shortly before the New Year.
Lew, who became a free agent following the disbandment of SK's female team last month, is joined by ex-Turmoil duo Ben "ben" Hui and Joe "perez" Perez.
Ryan "NineSpot" Bell, who was last seen at compLexity, and Tyler "willsoN" Willson, who has played for the likes of Loaded and Frag Dominant in the past, make up the rest of the roster, with Derrick "impulsive" Truong joining in as backup.
"I can already see us playing as much or even more than other top American teams at the moment," Lew told SK Gaming's website.
"We know that we have something to prove - so that only gives us more motivation to practice harder. Stakes are just that much higher for us because of this sponsorship.
"We know that this may bring either a bunch of support/excitement and/or controversy/criticism. Let's just hope that we'll be able to shut them up."
SK Gaming's American team, who will be competing in the upcoming ESEA-Open season, have:

They cant afford to pay the koreans... cuz koreans were supposed to be the highest paid gamers as gaming is way too developed that, not to forget the "WEMADEFOX" building ... House/gym/Gaming center/ their office. everything in 1 building lol. they owned it

Ben Hui- is a pretty good fragger. He's played in a few top teams in the U.S.
Perez- Haven't seen him do anything since CAL-I although even then he was a pretty good player. He had 2 4Ks against EG.CA that year (2008).
Ninespot-has held his own internationally
Wilson- Used to be good. Don't know about now.
Ali-haven't seen her outside of female gaming
The point is that they all used to be good when there were ALOT of great CS competition. Maybe with GFN coaching them they could turn out to surprise you like winout did last season? I would not count them out for sure.
The point is that they could probably take TEG easily.
In regards to SK sponsoring them, I doubt its a serious sponsorship involving trips/salary. In my opinion, I think they were sponsored so that SK could still be relevent overseas as North American is still considered an untapped market for European companies which is why SK did not choose to sponsor a top team competing in invite.

Sometimes, when needed you will have to speak rough like guys do, but wtf? You know what i mean.. you can't say "hey wtf was that you stupid bitch" to a girl..

wow welcome to the the 21st century mate.
its no different to females in the military or females in any other working environment. and its not a competition for physical prowess (cuz lets face it msot cs guys couldnt manage 10 pressups)so thats not an issue. i feel sorry for any woman that ever dates you.

gotta say this is disappointing...
SK could have made a HUGE move by forming a really top team to compete with EG in the US, but this team is just not at that level whatsoever...
yes there aren't a lot of players to choose from now that the US scene is diluted, but with some push and iniative an organization such as SK could have easily enticed some former top players to return or something...
would have been amazing to have a real SK/EG rivalry in America...

2011-01-16 22:06:59
Lol is this a joke?
Most of these players are highly skilled but have been out of cs / pugging for atleast a year now.. Why wouldnt SK sponsor one of the good up and coming teams that are actually in invite? Unless they're not actually putting any money into it and ali convinced them to let her use the name..?

Why would anyone want to pick up that fuck up thomz and drama queen hero. They are the two biggest contributing factors to the reason why Complexity has a Brazilian team. Thomz has proven he is unreliable by forgetting the single most important thing you need when traveling and hero has proven he can cause more drama that 5 high school girls with his roster changes and team management.
2011-01-17 16:23:25
Yikes someone is extremely upset at hero,thomz and aZn. Get over it crybaby. Hero didn't do anything wrong, and thomz has been to... i dunno how many international lans and domestic probably in the range of 50-100. They're all still friends so your point is invalid. relax coL.fan.
2011-01-17 20:13:41
LOL I don't believe you have a clue about what you are talking about. If thomz has been to numerous International events then there should have been no reason for him to leave his passport. Hero is a drama queen because it is either his way or the high way when it comes to the team roster. Do you remember when hero gave complexity an ultimate about playing with evolution and possibly kicking out xp3? Shit was drama llama all over the place. Also I never mention aZn so I don’t know why you bring it up….

yet another reason why NA cs is dead. thanks to eg hoarding all the top players, and complexity for leaving na altogether.
2011-01-17 04:06:09
hoarding? lol ur a complete moron...why would EG put anyone on their roster that isnt a top player...u really think thats why cs is dead in NA? wow i just have to say it again, ur a moron. So eg should have a lineup of Fr0d, n0thing, random cal-m caliber player, random cal-im caliber player, random friend of the team that no1 knows about. Yea that team would do wonders internationally, which is what everyone complains about, how EG cant compete internationally. again, moron = u

just stop talking... The only reason that really can be cited as negative impact is complexity leaving NA and the team that made them leave,That team and most of its former players is full of the cancer that was thomz, hero, and aZn. Also there were a number of top level players who went into retirement or took time off.
2011-01-17 16:19:11
uhh pretty sure ali is a decent player. Especially being female(nothing against them, but they do get treated alot differently in CS) and thomz may or may not still be banned by ESEA. Hero, however, i believe is playing in ESEA-m, and would be a great pickup for an aspiring team.

Its just marketing.The team cant live up to Sk's reputation.
Americans can buy t-shirts an other stuff from SK site.You think their money isnt good ?
But good luck.
Oh , and TeG sucks.Most of romanian teams suck.Cs just isnt sponsored enough in this country.
True , you shouldnt judge a country because of a game.

This team would be good if there weren't like 3 washed up players on it. Most of them have not played high level CS in quite sometime I believe. I think they sat out at least the last 2-3 esea-I seasons.
But Perez is a very underrated US player and probably has played ESEA-I recently. He always seems to be the "backup", ringer, replacement, ect. But when he plays he normally produces. But I haven't seen the rest of them play in a while so they might be rusty.

Alice "ali"
Ben "ben"
"perez" Perez
"willsoN" Willson
