Stewie2k do Brasil

in usa •  7 years ago 

Hopefully between two sessions of deathmatch, the young Jake "Stewie2k" Yip took some lessons of samba because it is now official, the young North American player made the big jump and joined a Brazilian team. And like all our friends in the country of Uncle Sam, he did not do things by half since gentleman integrates what is best on Counter-Strike namely the team double winner of Majors, SK Gaming. Good bye Cloud9, Bem-vindo in the Seleçao!

The rumors were going well for weeks. If the superstar and his flamish teammate were first approached at SK Gaming, which would probably have been the most unexpected change in history, it seems that Ricardo "boltz" Prass managed to save his head in the first place. of the squad, unlike Epitacio "TACO" by Melo, who was rejected. The men of Gabriel "FalleN" Toledo have thus set their sights on the player Cloud9 with the hope of increasing their overall power of typing.

This movement comes as the performance of SK Gaming has never been so disappointing. Since the beginning of the year, the team has not won any title. Worse, she failed in the pool phase of WESG 2017, a tournament where the team was ultra-favorite and made this appointment, a major goal given the sums involved. As the approach of the recovery international events and in particular the DreamHack Masters in Marseille, these few weeks of beating appeared as a good opportunity to make a change.

This change brings with it a lot of questions. The very discreet role of Melo's Epitacio "TACO" did not really correspond to Jake's "Stewie2k" Yip status at Cloud9. Who will do the "dirty work" at SK Gaming? The language barrier is also to be taken into account and could play them bad turns in difficult times.

Regarding the transaction, the director of Cloud9, Jack Etienne confirmed on Twitter that the release clause in the contract of his now ex-player had to be huge since the latter had renewed his contract over several years. Nevertheless the sum was not revealed and Jack Etienne would have been generous not to fail the negotiations. It remains to know who was on the other side. Rumors about a departure of Brazilians from the German SK Gaming structure for the benefit of the North American organization Immortals are becoming more pressing. If that were the case, it would be surprising to see SK Gaming make such a transfer at its expense.

In any case and to bring a little more water to the mill, the officialization of the arrival of Stewie2k in the training was carried out via the personal Twitter players. No word from SK Gaming as we write these lines ...

SK Gaming is now composed of:
