SK US add three
SK Gaming have bolstered their United States-based team with the addition of three new players.
The move comes shortly after Fear Factor, who most recently lost Sean "sgares" Gares, decided to dissolve as a team and go their separate ways.
With Fear Factor's disbandment, SK Gaming have picked up Nazar "steno" Vynnytsky and Paul "pauLy" Guerboyan, while at the same time acquired Anthony "djibouti" Manosca from iDemise.
Alice "ali" Lew told the team's homepage the major change is a result of their "sub-par performance" last season, and that this change will be for the better.
"After a sub-par performance last season, we have decided to make major changes with the roster to ensure that we will be a competitive team next season in Invite [...] Just knowing that we are all on the same page with the same goals in mind has jump started our motivation"
The roster revamp will exclude Ben "ben" Hui, Ryan "NineSpot" Bell and Tyler "willsoN" Willson from further involvement, whom were all a part of the team since the start.
Representing SK Gaming in the United States are:
Alice "ali" Lew
The team have set their sights at doing well in the upcoming ESEA Invite season and competing in the nation's remaining World Cyber Games qualifiers.
still not able to beat EG

Amazing how you can have such conclusions just after team being put together. You might even be true, but it's just awesome.

2011-06-13 16:28:49
they have a girl, enough said. If they were able to rid of ali, they might do well in invite but with the current roster they will hardly make top 3
2011-06-13 20:50:39
why reply to me
2011-06-13 21:07:10
why not?
2011-06-13 21:41:19
why that useless comments like if it mattered?
2011-06-15 01:58:32
lol did u really just say they have a girl so there bad lol even tho she has done more in this game then you could ever dream of doing lol i know girls that will poop on you on this game lol

they havnt even played EG yet....good to know u know ur stuff b4 u post nonsense
2011-06-13 21:09:17
they will never beat EG, I dont even know why there is still an SK U.S team...its never gonna work out...I dont want to put ali down but shes really not that good, she would need to be replaced by someone like evo or gfn for the team to really do anything at all.
2011-06-14 00:07:23
Because Dinc wasn't able to and this is pretty much a worse version of Dinc.
2011-06-13 15:14:24
True, and we all know that everyone knows that EG won't lose their prime status, but what I dislike is that attitude before even seing what they are capable of.
2011-06-13 16:39:31
if you know it too then why do u replied the first guy saying you conclusion bla bla bla? lol
2011-06-13 16:44:37
why do you ask when he already answered?
2011-06-13 21:13:06
n0thing can beat EG
2011-06-13 20:09:42
He is right, though that's hardly fair as EG and coL by far had the best sponsors in the US
SK going in the mix might stir things up abit if they really have alot to offer these american players, and if that makes them practice more. then again, this line-up lacks an insane awper so I can see why he sais they wont have anything on EG.
without someone like adrenaline, sgares, evolution or ofcourse her0 they lack `green firepower`

2011-06-13 12:25:51
I can't believe they are actually spending money on that team and still don't want to pay 2500€ to get Delpan.
2011-06-13 11:49:34
+1 and they should definitely get rid of ali and keep ninespot
2011-06-13 11:55:27
They know, fnatic, don't realy want that money. Anyway Delpan will play with or without consent of fnatic, they can't keep him tied closely and they will not go to the court for 2500€.
2011-06-13 12:00:12
They will when SK plays big tournaments with their delpan

Also in internet it has another meaning.For example:If I would create a thread "AWP LEGENDS" you can say "BAYAN SUKA" because this thread is already created.

disband this team and use the money to buy Delpan, no stealing, no lies, the right way.
2011-06-13 12:06:59
what about the sponsors man? they cant do that, they are trying to develop a little bit cs 1.6 in usa with this team..
2011-06-13 12:17:18
yea, I know they are, and I like that, but if they can't pay for a player transfer then they sould not try to steal the player, so either they focus on this team or getting the players they want for sk.swe
and no, I don't know if SK have payed fnatic or anything but since there havent been any news I guess they havent

yeah i agree with that, but i dont think they can/will delete this team from their ranks anytime soon :) i wish they would buy delpan out of fnatic, its getting really annoying
2011-06-13 12:38:19
is this even legal to play with a girl in a boys game? :D
2011-06-13 12:09:22
This has to be the dumbest shit ever. Why the hell is ali even in that damn lineup?
Believe it or not, this isn't the first she's played in a lineup with guys that were 5x better than her. She was featured in a mugNmouse pug that played in CPL Winter 2005. Needless to say, she and the rest of that team took a quick 2 and out and were eliminated in a jiffy.
I still remembered when I played her and her ladies in a CAL-M match. For all the bitching and talking that was spewed out of their mouths, they certainly couldn't back it up with their play.

For the record, before you decide to make a comment insulting someone, at least have one BIT of clue as to what you're talking about. "They took a quick two and out and were eliminated..."...no, actually, they beat a Cogu-led mibr on inferno 16-11
http://www.gotfrag.com/cs/demos/15122/
And this is Irukandji so don't think I'm biased towards SK.us, I just think people like you are the reason CS in the US is a joke - you insult and demean players with made-up stats and hand-selected matches in hopes of making yourself look good when in reality you're simply jealous of the opportunity they're getting.

2011-06-13 19:23:24
cmon bro....ur gonna tell me ali is better than ninespot? Anyone trying to act like she is on the team for any reason OTHER than she is a girl is kidding themselves. They 16-11 mibr? nice, I see that as maybe if there was a good player instead of 4v5 they couldve won.
This is how females in CS breaks down. They are NOT physically gifted at cs (cannot make the proper quick in-game decisions, bad reflexes, bad aim); if anything, they are FAR WORSE on average then a male (observation). What they are good at is soaking up attention from guys online that they would normally be deprived of in the real world. they generally LOVE the attention that a bunch of socially-retarded gamers give them no matter how much they will try to act otherwise.
All girls love attention, but when you add a girl who plays CS, you get the perfect storm of the attention lovingness of a girl with the social-awkwardness of someone who plays cs.
As a result, Many guys will defend these female CS players to the grave in some odd attempt to get in their good grace and hope for some potential foreplay andthensome.
The crowd of NORMAL people who can socially interact with others flawlesly see these nerdy guys defend these nerdy girls and it is a complete joke. If you talk to NORMAL girls regularly it is painfully obvious how these attention starved weird CS girls act. If you do not interact with females at all, then you are most likely on the worshiping their every movement and action. There is a rift in the community, the "nerdy" and the "normal" (for lack of a better term). Obviously this isnt kindergarden and I'm not trying to namecall but I'm trying to paint a picture in ppls heads and im sure MOST of you know EXACTLY what im talking about.
This is years of observation of the CS scene, and by the looks of your post it is still around. u know why the CS scene is a joke? the guys on the top cannot handle business when it comes time. Thats YOU BRO.

I'm saying the reason we have no competition domestically is that people without a clue love to bash and put pressure on teams that compete against EG (I've been on both sides of it!) and I'm not standing up for Ali in my post - I think there are quite a ton of USA players that are better than her (dinc with aZn/hero/pauLy would have been a really strong team), but my whole post was related to people without a clue posting made-up facts about other players =)
2011-06-13 20:45:30

you don't know what you're talking about. females naturally have faster reflexes than men. the aim and decision making is true, but reflexes are something women are better with than men.
2011-06-14 02:47:45
if you ask me, ali's not a bad fifth to have whatsoever. when you take into account all the guys in invite, you'll find a lot of selfish players, ones without a good amount of LAN experience, guys that fold under pressure, and guys that overall that just don't get along/mesh well without a certain group of players.
let's just look at ali for a sec. she's been on a top internationally competing team for years. SK girls was arguably the best female CS team of all time. she can obviously hold her own ingame, stay focused and confident at big events, and at the very least can fill a very strong supporting player role for the team. i honestly think she's gonna be more valuable than most of the free agent options in the US invite league. let's wait and see.
oh and kinh.. youre
1) retarded
2) way too angry over a girl playing your video game
3) not going to find a girl worth anything that would give you the time of day with that attidude. it actually makes sense why youre so pissed at this chick.
if you can't get an e-girl to at least add you to her friends list, what are you going to do in the irl?

2011-06-14 00:17:45
lets face it everyone knows ali is not the best on this team.. im sure that even she knows shes not and there are numerous other players who can make this team able to compete more with other teams... but thats really besides the point
shes more or less the reason SK currently has a US team i mean they have sponsored her in SK.female for years now.. she has those ties with SK

On paper they look okay, minus ali. I can see them doing well at first, but then falling into mediocrity.
2011-06-13 14:14:53
no one team from US can beat EG cuz they are SO weak, if anyone watch the last qualifiers would see that it was truth, they dont have nothing at all, i watch the old team of pauly and another 3~4th team from US and just like a match of top16 brazil or top10 russia.
some scenes are so crazy you have 3 or 5 teams who could do a lot.
(sweden+ucraine+denmark)
and a bit weaker but in the national scene has good matches and we can see some talent, (france, brazil, china, finland, etc)

2011-06-13 15:20:31
GL to them but I doubt they'll be able to compete with EG
2011-06-13 15:45:09
i dont even think theyll compete with backfire
2011-06-13 16:09:36
djibouti was without a doubt backfires most important player, especially at LAN. i feel like he's overlooked as one of the top 10 players in North America. he's incredibly smart, has amazing aim, not a selfish player in the slightest, and consistently makes huge plays in every match regardless of who he's facing. he should honestly be on EG.
sorry if im on his dick like yellow on mustard right now, but hes just all around a solid player, and if SK US gets any overseas invitations.. people are going to start seeing that.
once this team gets fully involved, ali will probably go. all these players left top invite teams to join this squad, so i'm interested to see how it goes for them.

im not disagreeing with you about that... and to be honest im not sure why he left backfire (maybe it was because of this deal with SK) again i dont know... from what i saw i think he preformed subpar or not like himself when he played for backfire
i was quite impressed with him when he played esea-i s7 lan finals.. i think thats what it was... before he joined backfire..

2011-06-13 16:20:25
djibouti's the reason backfire won a number of their matches, especially the close ones. go back and watch the demos. he turns around losing rounds, gets some of the most important frags of the match, and makes unbelievable good decisions in tough spots. doesn't miss shots, doesn't miss many opportunities. he's a solid, seasoned, very talented player.
2011-06-13 18:12:21
Drop Ninespot, keep ali LOL!! Reminds me of coL drafting belle for her looks in CGS
2011-06-13 16:35:57
I accualy find this amasing, Some competition in USA in the top teams and EG hopefully gets a wakeup call that there is still talent, I really hope they do great. GL :)

the main thing about this team is will they practice and try to actually win or just playing for fun and pug to a bad record
2011-06-13 19:05:02
hero = drama queen ugly pizzaface
aZn = never last on a serious team for a extended period of time
perez = who cares hes not good
NineSpot = like almost 30 years old give the game up old man.
either way SK line up fails and with the players above they still fail.

so many clueless ppl.
1.) once a team gets sponsored/gets funding to travel...its a whole different story. Teams try harder and are willing to put in time to practice and compete.
2.) The reason the US scene is behind right now isnt because were "bad", its just like the rest of the world....we have low funding, few tournaments, few sponsors which in return leads to mediocre play attitudes and frequent roster changes. See #1
3.) The number of competitive and potential good teams in the US is growing. We have EG, UMX.US who have their own gaming house in cali, SK.US, not to mention iDemise with XP3 and eMg who just picked up some new solid players including meth0d from old 3D.
Please....dont just post things unless you know what ur talking bout. Making us americans look bad.

NAZ is a good leader and i'm sure he'll do well with the team. He's capable of leading them into the LAN Finals and/or WCG national finals. The players are all good enough to compete and it honestly comes down to how much dedication/teamwork they can put into the team.
