I en mycket intressant krönika om ny-gamla SK Gaming går TosspoT in på hur detta kommer att påverka scenen och vad vi kan vänta oss i framtiden. Snart är det som bekant dags för CDC4, en turnering som TosspoT själv är ansvarig för och jag misstänker att han placerat fnatic och SK Gaming i samma grupp för att vara säker på att dessa två möts (läs mer om mötet här) då det kommer att generera en hel del publicitet vilket garanterat gynnar scenen, men även honom själv.

Utdrag ur texten:
"To those of who you don't know SK, SK is the biggest western eSports organisation. Their website boasts just short of one million members, CounterStrike history books were written by SK and they boast a huge Warcraft 3 community despite their lack of dominance in recent years. And that's only the half of it, from a business perspective these guys know what they're doing, booths at Games Convention (at least the one I attended), SK Insider and SK products and a fan base across the world with hubs in Germany and Sweden. If I were to blindly value the company based on the value of another recent eSports sale, they are worth in excess of $4 million.

And now those four million dollars are weighted behind Call of Duty 4 and its future has never looked brighter. The difference between SK and any other G7 team is their massive userbase and reputation with the added benefit is that The6Devils are German. When SK does something in Germany, German eSports listens. Their reach in the motherland is incredible, indebted to their support of German players/teams who don't offer them prowess on the international front, but do locally. In a country that houses ESL and Readmore when SK shout, those two huge eSports institutions tend to listen."
