SK Gaming have confirmed the report from last week that suggested the CS division was going to be released.
Thursday last week news surfaced that long time SK coach Anton Budak had left the organization and that Robert "RobbaN" Dahlström, Patrik "f0rest" Lindberg and Christopher "GeT_RiGhT" Alesund would do the same.
Not sent to GameGune, the future for CS in the German-based organization seemed to be coming to a close, which was confirmed today on the SK Gaming website.
With today's announcement SK Gaming's Alexander "TheSlaSH" Müller released the following statement about releasing the team:
"There is not much to say at this point, really, but to thank each and every player that wore the SK jersey in the past to play CS 1.6 for us. As an organization we are one of the most successful teams of all times and all those names contributed to this. With that being said, the community can rest asured that we are looking deeply into CS:GO right now and will have players for that game in the future if it makes it into eSport just as 1.6 did. Let's wait and see what the future holds."
Müller states that they have an eye on Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, a game which several of the now former SK players have been playing actively recently. Should CS:GO go big, then it seems very likely that SK will pick it up and mount a team.

Last tournament win for SK, on home soil in Stockholm
With the release of the team, following five players are now free agents:
Marcus "Delpan" Larsson
Johan "face" Klasson
Patrik "f0rest" Lindberg
Christopher "GeT_RiGhT" Alesund
Robert "RobbaN" Dahlström
Word on the street is that Dahlström is going to retire, while we have already seen Alesund, Klasson and Lindberg play CS:GO tournaments, while Larsson hasn't. We will do our very best to stay on top of what the future for the players will look like, as well as SK's possible engagement into CS:GO.
RIP SK... And thanks for the fun. Good memories...

It's not the orga that shut down the division forcefully, but simply the players didn't want to play anymore

I swear half the people on this site seem to have this deluded view that Valve pay every organisation from ESWC, and ESL, to SK, and others to drop 1.6, which lets be honest is incredibly retarded.
counter-strike, in general, has been losing popularity for quite a while now and it has nothing to do with Valve or csgo.
Delpan and face still in the team , maybe +Gux and Threat and pita or some1 from duttdutt :-? I don't think is the last of the SK CS 1.6 team
And didn't he join H2k before joining SK? :P

wether that be for study or another team, does not really matter. and the reason he stated this time was the same as he did back then, even though I think this time it will be final ;(
Marcus "Delpan" Larsson
Johan "face" Klasson
Patrik "f0rest" Lindberg
Christopher "GeT_RiGhT" Alesund
Robert "RobbaN" Dahlström
Understand now?

"...if it makes it into eSport just as 1.6 did."
It will not, until they do it better than CS 1.6.

I still hope this community stays here even if we have to change to CS:GO, i dont really like it but lets try giving it a chance.
They could still have had attended some events, even GameGune which just ended. But would they have won anything? I guess thats the more important question. :-)

boom!
my prediction face,gtr,f0rest along with 2 css pros to form a cs:go team IF csgo goes mainstream
I know there are still plenty of teams left, but month after month we gonna surely see more of them going away. With more and more events dropping 1.6 it became less affordable for organisations to feature CS teams as well as it's not that benefitial for the very players too.
RIP sk
love for all.
there are almost no more tournaments left
how can you expect SK to pay their players with almost no competition left? cs 1.6 just cant go on at a pro level for now ....
CS:GO is big money prizes from valve side and big events which drop 1.6 now.
If it will be first event with amazing prizes like on the Dota2 International 1, everyone will switch on Global Offensive.
I think Valve CAN fix CS:GO to be very interesting to play on competetive scene, like they did it with Dota2.
But it's very very sad for legendary game CS 1.6.
I seriously think if only CS:GO wasnt announced,1.6 would have been the same epic game and no one would have retired atleast not players like mSx,zonic
more than 10 years existence...
Waiting for ESC, Na'Vi, Fnatic to retire and then we can just remember about good old times.
20% will continue to play other games
30% will jump to cs:go(half of those will quit quite soon after)
29,9% stubborn, insane people will be hanging around on 1.6 channels on IRC the rest of their lives
0,1% will commit suicide
I feel very very nostalgic because of this, goodbye glory & legendary SK.swe :(

CS Source = Dead
CS GO; CS 1.6 + Source = Alive and Epic Win

iam not goign to stop playing the game i love because theres no more tournament for pro players LOL
MOM:son,why are you looking so sad
Me: nothing i am fine :$
MOM: Then why were you punching that poster
ME to myself:how can i tell u that this poster is the CS:GO poster,i shoot it with my toy gun evry day
What's up now Delpan? How did the SK switch work out for you? 5 months of glory and story over!
I would have been happier if players just moved to a new organization, so it's still sad that we're remaining with one less pro team in the circuit but definitely glad that a filthy organization is keeping it's paws off our sacred game.
Please read up your history.
Also, apart from Delpan, i did not say anything about any of the players who represented the organization. The glory/fame is all for/of the players. The organization itself has never been any good by itself.
we see things from two sides
its an end
so
its another start
gg

SK is like Real Madrid for me.. its sad but it seems that 1.6 is dead.. maybe CS:GO will revive the cs scene but.. 1.6 will never be forgotten!
The now ex SK guys have been playing CS:GO for a while now with this roster:
face
f0rest
GeT_RiGhT
friberg
fiflaren
They played in the 4PL grand finals yesterday as well - http://www.cadred.org/Live/Matches/Match/181032/

where`s LUq ?
Same situation with mTw! :)
gl SK players in real life or in CS:GO!
Post edited 2012-07-30 17:07:05
even if CS is dead I'd still be playing it
Looking forward for some GO actions.
it's so sad :'(
i don't think that CS:GO can replace cs 1.6 ..
The valve is trying hard to make the players to migrate to CS: GO ...
The cs was taken from various world championships, but the valve can not remove them from our steams and not forcing us to play the damn CS: GO.
In this last weekend I installed version 1.08 of Promod and I was very happy with the performance / playability of it!
FOR ME IS THE TRUE AND ONLY IN THE LEVEL OF SUBSTITUTE CS 1.6!
VALVE WILL TAKE IN THE MIDDLE OF YOUR ASS!
=)
then with the upcoming release of CSPromod 1.09, it'll take over and a lot of people will start to play it
Why did valve do this?? H8 CS:GO!!!

Anyways un gustaso haber hablado y bolaciado contigo. inja
now cs:go vs csp
who will win?
I think this battle will be more crowded than the previous...
Enyone else noticed that they never invite CS:Source or any other version players to promote the new versions like CS:GO just 1.6 players ? What they doing now is they are ruining the scene that got them most followers by making xxx new versions that are just based on pumped up graphics so you have to buy new eq from the sponzors -_-
If they wanted they could update the old engine anytime(that was way better for competitive play that these new ones) but i guess they milked all money from this cow so it's time to move to another... just sad
was my first team i be a fan :'(
