The fact that so many people don't know SK Gaming is baffling and hilarious at the same time. Oh, Alex.
SK Gaming is the first professional gaming team, based in Germany, and is probably the most iconic team in history although lately not so much. They have had Korean Warcraft 3 pros among champion CS, Quake, WoW, etc teams. I'd give a hitory lesson but it's 6 AM.
MC and NaDa are not TL/oGs. They are SK/oGs, and they will be flat out SK.NaDa and SK.MC at MLG, Dreamhack, and other non-Korean events.

| So this means we'll see MC and NaDa more often in foreign events. I hope they can stay in shape for Code S with the extra travel time. |

| Congrats to both of them. I've never been a big fan of SK, but it looks like I'll kind of have to be now. :D I wonder what their SC2 uniforms will look like for those two. I always kind of liked the oGs uniform, to be honest. |

Maybe you don't realise it, but they won't.
They'll wear the tag, some commentators will mention it once, but they'll still be oGsNada and oGsMC for everyone. As you see, here at least, oGs is way more known than SK (which makes no sense, I agree on that one)
Good "pickup" (?), still, would've expected more  |

| It's pretty sad that kids nowdays haven't heard of SK, another indication that this would be a good deal for them. |

| I guess SK are paying for plane tickets and such. I doubt anyone would rely on them to pay salaries anymore. Glad we get to see nada at more non korean events. Last edit: 2011-07-15 19:09:59 |

| pretty sensible deal for OGS and SK...SK pays for their flights and accomodations outside of korea and they represent OGS in korea. win win for both. |

Which is obviously more than just a sponsorship of SK. Great deal as they will stay in their normal environment at oGs and still rock the whole world! Looking forward to the upcoming events.  |

Wow this is huge! SK really stepping it up their past division was very sub par and they are clearly looking to shed that image.
Plus this obviously means more money for MC and Nada so kudos to them! XD |

I actually think this move is hilarious, its like SK realizes wow we suck at scouting and picking up free agents or signing pros who's contracts or over, or signing and actually PAYING a transfer fee. Here I have an idea, lets just get some big names from a real team and ride their coattails only when they're at foreign events.
