The Russian team Russian Fede- Gravitas Gaming welcomes a new player to their roster - United State- Nikolaus 'SonKiE' Cassidy strengthens the lineup for the next WC3L Season and upcoming tournaments. Gravitas Gaming qualified for the upcoming WC3L playoffs where they have to face Europe SK Gaming.

SonKiE has recently shown good results in WCG USA where he beat United State- YanE, United State- ShrieK and United State- HolyHuman by winning the trip to the WCG Grand Finals in Cologne. The human player was part of the team Netherlands Serious Gaming for a long time and was one of their key players in their lineup.

Statement by United State- SonKiE:

Joining a top team like Gravitas has long been a goal for me. Being among a roster of players such as HoT and ToD really motivates me to train harder and become a better player. I will have the opportunity to meet and bond with my new team mates at this years upcomng World Cyber Games Grand Final. I hope to do well, showing good results and representing my team as professionally as I can.

 

SonKiE is the third human player besides France ToD and Russian Fede- XyLigan. Furthermore rumors say that Ukraine HoT might leave the team in the end of 2008.

The current roster of Russian Fede- Gravitas Gaming:

  • United State- Human SonKiE
  • Finland Undead elfittaja
  • France Human ToD
  • Ukraine Nightelves HoT
  • Russian Fede- Human XyLigan
  • Russian Fede- Nightelves TitaN
  • Russian Fede- Orc Rob

Okey, SonkiE holds the monopoly on the American Wc3 scene, not picking him up would be stupid.

Myth may be a good player but when the team is looking to focus more on the American scene (cs/WoW/wc3) why would they pick up another European player?

Especially one who can't place well at events? With Nik they can go to the WCG/ESWC every year because of him. As well as have representation at Blizzcon.

Mess with the best die like the rest

Bad pick up - unless they pay him in rubles.

nothing really shocking hear, every team wants as many pepresentitives at WCG as possible + sonkie is a sure point when facing US teams unlike most russian players that have to strugle with a lot of lag
Sup?

Honestly I think that Lucifron would have been a better pick. Sonkie is ok but Gravitas already had 2 humans. ToD and Xyligan and ToD is a superstar whereas Xyligan is a A- class player. Overall I think they need one more orc considering how much Orc is dominating lately.

Gravitas isn't Russian, why is there a Russian flag above the team?

The team is registered out of California.
