Long-time SK-Gaming player Erik "Bogdan" Olsson is the first player to leave the team. He says himself that he is unable to keep up with the needed practice to be on top. Instead he will put more focus on his studies and most likely join another team to play for fun.
- It feels kind of sad leaving SK, I've been a part of the team for what seems like forever, says Bogdan.

The Croatian player Nikola "minitito" Perkovic is the second player to leave the team. As all other SK-Gaming players are Swedish and are used to communicate in their own language, the language barrier was apparently a too big a problem.

- He's a really good and funny guy and it feels sad to let him go, but as it is now I wouldn't choose to bring him to a LAN caus being 4 swedes and one non-swede doesn't really work. It makes the team act slower and it makes the non-swede feel a bit outside, says team captain Loda.

To fill in the gaps, SK-Gaming brought in the young Swedish player Erik "zoN-" Falk to the team. zoN- has previously been playing for Gvision.

Loda sees zoN- as a diamond in the rough. The 16-year-old has been playing with the SK team for fun for quite a while, both in random games and Counter-Strike.

- I will play whatever I am told to, but my guess would be mostly carry/semi and not much support, says zoN- about his possible role in SK would be.
