Xero Skill's DotA Team joins sB Gaming
Xero Skill, a well known DotA Team with members from all over the world, will join a fresh new Portuguese organization 
switchBack, whom is gathering some great players from different games (top players from FIFA, and also the top Portuguese CS Team).In the international scene,
XsK were playing in all the top online tournaments, and at the moment they are in the Division 1 in DotA-League, in the ESL Major Series Season I, HTGN, ClanBase Eurocup, Cota, Battle for the Throne, and of course they were also one of the 16 teams seeded in the Groupstage at the MYM Prime Defending 8. We caught up with
Ereskigal to discuss about this team transfer.Why did you join this new multigaming team?
Well, maybe you have noticed, that DotA has enveloped very well. There are three big LANs that is worth participating in. But it will be very expensive, or say impossible to do it without support of a big clan behind you. So we joined sBack to let them help us develop and improve our skill. Why switchback and no other clan you might ask now? Well we liked a new clan, and the attention we will bring it.
So what about the team? Will you use the same players?
As you may have noticed in the last days, we stacked up our roster, because some players went inactive, and only 5 players is impossible to play all the games you need to play for tournaments. Since we have a time difference of more than 10 hours, we needed more than 5 players. We took mO from xLo and ZeBob which we know through IHCS.
Anything you want to add?
We want to thank SB-Gaming for giving us the chance to become more professional. Also, thanks to Enigma, Mishanya and Rainwalker our former mates. Thank you for the interview. And all the big events that decided (or hopefully will decide) to give DotA a chance.
We also talked about this with the switchBack's Chief Finace Officer, Guilherme "w0" Fraga, and with 
Francesco "Francys" Bertolo, their Chairman, whom made the following statements:
Guilherme "w0" Fraga, and with Francesco "Francys" Bertolo, their Chairman, whom made the following statements:"After months of hard work, days and nights spent looking for the best teams, the best staff, and the best partners; after weeks, days and hours spent creating and developping an ambicious and solid project; after strugling against technical and logistic difficulties; On behalf of a unite, solid, and confident "family", I, Francesco 'francys' Bertolo am proud to announce that switchBACK Gaming Enterprise is finally concrete.
Together with our players, staff, and partners, we were able to raise a project, into a concrete Gaming Club. As switchBACK Gaming Chairman, I am proud to dissipate the clouds above this project and make it shine to everyone."
And about the DotA Team:
"One of the biggest teams in world, only behind teams like sk, MYM, Virtus.PRO, and leading in front of teams like eMg and mouz, will tomorow (today) sign contract with our organization. From them, as well as the others, we expect much, and we will provide everything necessary to help them getting through their objectives."
The switchBack DotA Team:

I asked also some other questions to ereskigal that i would like to add:
KeRm: "why i'm not vouched at ihcs? I need a vouch request?" Eres: "It is because you suck even more than I do." KeRm: "what means Ereskigal?" Eres: " ereskigal is a Goddess in the babylonian religion, she is like Hades, so Goddess of the underworld. There is a nice Legend about her. But mostly I took the name because it was unique at the time I chose it." KeRm: " ah so you are a shemale?" Eres: " For you I am :p But usualy I am male" KeRm: "and do you really like to handle supports in DotA League?" Eres: "I don't even handle supports, no I hate it. But sometimes they cry, that I do not do my supports so I have to do some to pretend =)" thats all not?

Well according to Gosugamer Ranking System they are ranked #4 in fact leading infront of Mouz and EMG. But then I don't know whether to trust gosugamers ranking system or not but it's what it says.

#16, "the top Portugues CS Team"
ignoring the second mistake in the same word (previously Portoguese, now Portugues), the news say that they have "The Top" team, not "A Top" team. pretty different. www.fraglider.pt

Shameless self promotion
STFU and SHOP!
All you can shop, right in there. MYM shirts, NNScript goodies, and other stuff the ESNation network has to offer. If you can't find it there, we don't sell it! Are you ready to STFU?
Right after their 2nd placing in Dreamhack Winter, SK Gaming has sent their DotA team to Johannesburg, South Africa to take part in promotion activities during the African Continental Computer Champio...
