It's Official, Element Has Joined SK.swe

Posted by NoToRiOuS at 23:12 14/6/2003.

The rumours are true and SK.swe are now a 6 man team. bds had this to say:

There have been rumours floating around that we would kick someone from the team, but they are very much not true. We do believe in our players, that why we use contracts. The idea now is to have a team consisting of six players. Not five players and one reserve. We believe that this will raise our motivation and variation even more.

Full statement here.

It will be interesting to see how long the team stay as a 6 man squad. Especially when you get comments along the lines of:

If SK asked you to join their clan, what would your answer be?

Element: No. Simple as that. (taken from "Ask Element" on gamers.nu)

Nonetheless good luck to Element and SK.swe.

He had to say no on gamers.nu for obvious reasons. But Element is known for his 'clan movement' so yea will be interesting to see if he abides by his contract! (all current SK players are contracted untill december this year). [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

I guess Element could move to Sweden, Oslo - Stockholm is equivalent to London - Newcastle in distance, and I'm sure someone else in SK could find some room in their place for him to live, in the shorter term at least. If not, I can't imagine he will find it easy with 5 of them in a LAN and him by himself. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

when your employed you sign a contract which speciefies that you give 1-3 months notice on leaving, i know people who have given like 1 weeks notice and said up yours, If you do this after pay day companys would'nt even bother taking you to court. though i dont see elemnt leaving from the sheer fact that SK is so lucerative and that SK insider alone pulls in a fair chunk of profit i see him sticking around for some time, and with free computers to boot who would'nt [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

03:16 15/6/2003
It's obviously got something to do with the hardware/money he'll recieve from SK that he's decided to join them.

At eoL he can attend all the LAN's he wants with the help of GoL and that includes WCG from the Norwegian qualifer. Yes he can say he's closer to the guys in SK than eoL (although I remember their being some feud between the two a couple of CPL's ago) but why leave eoL when in the last four outings with SK, they've won three and lost one?

eoL on their day always seem to be better than SK on theirs... Therefore I think he's got to be making a profit out of this which is making it more lucrative. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

Depends on who you work for, Fox.

eoL can't be considered real challengers now, he was their best player, and ultimately crucial: their linchpin. He won vs SK in whatever tournament it was (CPL qual?) single handedly... [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

Yeah but VespR thing is Element's the best player in the clan by some way, and many (arguably correctly) rank him as the best in the world. He's intelligent, can use all weapons very effectively, is young so can be moulded and has a f***ing incredible aim. He knows he's going into a core squad that receive much more adulation than eoL get atm, and maybe the GoL deal isn't quite as much as many think?

Element's a clutch player 24/7/365! [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

Still reckon they should get Luke back. I doubt they will get Damien back, hes not really good enough.

cant see SK getting THAT much stronger, eoL always beat them through sheer skill, so i doubt losing 1 player will weaken them that badly [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]
