SK.swe down two members
SK Gaming has officially announced that they will be releasing two of
their Counter-Strike 1.6 players effective immediately. The two players
being released are Marcus "zet" Sundström and Jim "zneel" Andersson. The full press release from SK Gaming can be found below.
SK-gaming today waves goodbye to two of the players for the male Swedish Counter-Strike team as Marcus 'zet' Sundström and Jim 'zneel' Anderssonexit the lineup. zet fell on the wrong side of management after missing his flight to Gamescom, behavior which is deemed as unacceptable from a professional standpoint. zneel joined SK only in August, and most notably played at WCG Sweden and the ESL SuperCup. The reasons for his departure is that he did not fit correctly with the team, something beyond the control of zneel himself or SK.
Regarding the moves Managing Director of SK-gaming.com Andreas "bds" Thorstensson provided this statement:
zet joined SK.swe in September of 2008 and quickly ignited the team to a victory at the EM III LA event. Further successes during his time within the team have included 2nd at EM III Montreal, a 1st at DreamHack Winter 2008 which included a big win over mTw.dk and back-to-back 2nds at ESWC Masters Cheonan and Kode5 most recently. Known as one of the world's elite players in 2006 when he came into his stride and helped push NiP to a number of big placings zet's explosive style of play has always won him fans and his time in SK was no exception. After time spent in the CGS though and such an incredibly high standard of play in the former section of his career it will be left to fans to speculate on whether or not he has fully regained his peak form.
zneel used a big performance at Dreamhack Summer 2009 to springboard himself into a spot in SK.swe, one which was no longer occupied by Tentpole. After disappointing overall outcomes to the WCG Swedish qualifier, ESL SuperCup and the IOL 4 finals zneel moves on to find a new home elsewhere in competitive Counter-Strike.

"It is time for SK to say good bye to zet and zneel.
Marcus joined us in the autumn of 2008 and quickly was part of the
success in winning the ESL Global Challenge in LA and following that up
with a second place at WCG in Cologne and in the same year winning
Dreamhack Winter. He was the fuel the team needed back then. Missing
the flights to gamescom was a huge disappointment and it started to
question Marcus' dedication to his team and the game. With a very ill
performed IOL 4 we have decided to finally part ways".
zneel joined the team in a very difficult time and it was very hard for him to make his mark. It is really sad that he did not get the time to show what he is capable of, but I am sure we will see more of him in the future, no matter what team he will be playing for.
We wish them both the best of luck in the future!"
