Since the end of Epsilon that was following the revelations about fixed games and the year-ban by Valve, rumors were circulating regarding the future of Adil "ScreaM" Benrlitom. The ex-Titan looked for different opportunities and he seems to have chosen an international one. According to several sources close to the players, a new dreamteam is about to be revealed under the name SK Gaming, a famous clan, often unlucky on CS :GO .

The german organisation, run by Alexander "TheSlaSH" Müller and considered as legendary for several years thanks to its results on 1.6, wishes to bounce back into the Global Offensive scene and apparently saw a good opportunity in this team. On paper the potential per players in this team is particularly interesting with, on top of the Belgian player, four people whose qualities in their respective roles often led to be noticed by the community.

Indeed, this new project would gather two players who did a lot of damage during the DreamHack Winter 2013 under LGB eSports colors : Alexander "SKYTTEN" Carlsson and Mikail "Maikelele" Bill. The two Swedes recently left their respective teams and acquired the status of free agent. Both even teased about a very promising project on their different statements. Maikelele even created a buzz by joining ScreaM on an ESEA's teamprofil after his kick from Ninjas in Pyjamas.



ScreaM back on top?

Mikail “Maikelele” Bill is apparently not the only one to leave LGB eSports, the number one team in Norway and 5/6th at the Copenhagen Games 2015. According to our information, Håvard "rain" Nygaard, big revelation of 2014, is also implicated, which means he would leave his Norvegians teammates to join SK Gaming for quite an exotic adventure. Finally, the last player is living quite far away from Scandinavia since he’s coming from Portugal and is currently a player for K1ck, Ricardo "Fox" Pacheco.

This player always remained faithful to K1ck, definitely the best team in the country represented at many occasions during international competitions since its arrival on CS :GO. With some satisfying but often stagnant results, it wouldn’t be surprising to see him accept an offer from SK Gaming. Even more since, according to our sources, they would offer a hardly deniable salary.

Adil "ScreaM" Benrlitom sent us the following statement :

Hello, As you may know, it’s been two months I’m representing Epsilon alone. I want by all means to become again a key player on the competitive scene. The top French teams are stable and strong at the moment, so I’m trying to orient myself towards the international scene. I’m trying to find other possibilities. An international team is one. For the moment it’s just the beginning. I’m looking for players to join me. The players mentioned are just options like many others. Regarding the clan, Epsilon remains a possibility, just like SK Gaming, or any other. I’m using a lot of words showing my doubts because, in reality, I’m looking to create a team, but we’re still in the discussion phase with the players and the organisations, and nothing is certain.

Without contradicting the elements brought by our sources. Adil "ScreaM" Benrlitom specifies that no contract is signed at the moment.

[UPDATE 6:00 PM] Mikail "Maikelele" Bill gave the following statement to our colleagues from HLTV.org :

I've been in contact with ScreaM for a long while now and we've been discussing with a lot of different players regarding this team. I actually don't know how things went official because all my team have been silent about this due to sensitive matters such as contracts etc. We are still in the phase of discussing things like organization and players. Regarding rain I've had my eyes on him for a long time during my short time in LGB I was super impressed by him and wanted to ask him to my new international team. However he is still in contract with LGB. If things go according my plans he will play with us, but this is not my decision to make, but the owner of LGB’s. Still this is not 100% yet and I do want to emphasize that this is NOT an official announcement of the team. I apologize to the owners of the K1CK organization and the LGB organization for any inconveniences this has caused. Again, these are only rumors.

As always in this kind of team, the main problem will be the language barrier. Except any surprise, it’ll probably be the English language that will gather all these players. The two Swedes and the Norvegian would even be able to communicate in their native language if the situation needs it.

Hard to give any short term objectives for this dream team that will probably receive many invitations after its announcement thanks to the prestige of its players, added to the image SK Gaming has on the Counter-Strike scene.

This quite original and unusual team which would play under SK Gaming’s name, would be composed of :

Alexander "SKYTTEN" Carlsson

Mikail "Maikelele" Bill

Håvard "rain" Nygaard

Ricardo "Fox" Pacheco

Adil "ScreaM" Benrlitom
