Winter CPL: SK.Ger in, SK.Swe out

Posted by eks` at 12:55 9/12/2004.

SK.swe will no longer be attending the upcoming CPL Winter in Dallas. The SK organisation was faced with the dilema of choosing between the SK.ger team that won their qualifier and the top class team SK.swe, as CPL rules state no two teams can attend CPL from the same organisation.

News on Gotfrag seems to confirm that SK.ger will replace SK.swe in this upcoming CPL to give the german division a chance in the competition.

All sorts of rumours are flying around as to what the SK.swe lads might do. It seems absurd to have a top team training full time who cannot compete in their sport. On the SK site the columns have been raving about the possible return of -NiP- at this upcoming CPL. It seems logical however that the SK.swe lads will not recieve funding from SK if they choose to attend under another name.

i cant see how this is tru because SK.swe also won a cpl qual and as sk.swe are the main team im sure they would take priority over a diff team.

also i cant see this anywhere on the sk website. you sure your sources are correct? [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

It's true we are not attending, but it's absolutely not in SK.ger favour.

Looks pretty true to me. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

It's not about the Sk.ger team really. Apparently SK.swe player-contracts end on 31st of Dec and now they are fighting with BDS (who always gets money if they win a lan, too) :P Heaton and spawn have offers from coL (Complexity, Bullseyes clan). Maybe they go under another flag? :X

(SK|bds) HeatoN is on his period, ahl is growing up, Potti is dead, i am going into hibernation, hyper got a life and SpawN was shot by a gang

He gets money from the sk oraganisation, but they divide the prizemoney, same for all players and bds sees himself as a player and gets money again allthough the last time he played was 1.3? :P

It's all about the benjamins!

seems like its a show of player power, they prolly want more moeny and said they aint going till they get it, the rule about only 1 team per org. is stupid, as they are two totally diffrent teams that share sponsers which is gonna make it eaiser for more decent teams to attend which can only be a good thing?

ever since hyper has arrived potti has taken a back seat, As HeatoN has been with potti from the offset then naturally its going to cause friction in the clan.

It seems its escalated and now its the s*** before the storm.

Wouldn't be suprised if they either kick a player or 2, that is if they take the marc mangiacapra view of "im more important than the team" or they team disbands completly.
