When SK Gaming announced that  Lyn and  ReMinD had joined their team last year in July, the WarCraft-community was buzzing with activity. The players had been an integral part of the World Elite-team that had been dominant in the just finished WC3L-season, and boosted SK's squad to new heights. Shortly after the ESWC WC3-champion  SoJu followed his former team-mates, and in December 07, the last player from the WE-quartet -  ReiGn - completed the SK squad.

While the team proved to be somewhat succesful in team-events, taking 1st and 3rd in WC3L - alongside a 2nd place in NGL ONE and a 2nd place at Road of the King, the players didn't perform up to par in the solo-tournaments (with Lyn being the exception).

It seems like SK Gaming has taken the consequence of that, and is going to shut down their WC3-team. According to several sources, the German organization has decided not to renew the team's contract, as they are deemed 'too expensive'.

The reasoning behind the action is said to be the 'low price-money involved in team-based WC3-tournaments in comparison to the costs of having a team'.

With this action, SK Gaming is following the footsteps of Mousesports who earlier this summer decided to hand off their WarCraft3 team. Just like Mouz, SK will probably keep some of their players though, as   Miou and   Lyn is rumoured to stay on board for solo-tournaments.

As we approached SK's General Manager TheSlaSH with the story, he refused to comment as long as it is only a rumour.

- There is no statement, as we don't see the necessarity to comment on this rumour at the moment at all, he said.

It still remains a question whether SK will support a full WC3-team in the future, as the organization is yet to announce the extension of the player's contracts. Be sure to follow the story right here on myMYM.com in the coming weeks.
