SK Gaming have released their entire DotA2 squad, formerly known as MonkeyBusiness.
The move will come as a surprise to most given the teams initial success under the SK Gaming name, achieving a third place finish at Dreamhack Winter whilst the continue to dominate their opposition in The Defense tournament, sitting at the top of their group with three wins in three games. It also comes just a few weeks after the team added the former MYM DotA legend Brian 'MaNia' Strandby, a move which many considered a huge coup for the Danish team given his pedigree. In the statement released by the teams manager he states that the team had agreed to sit down with SK Gaming and discuss better conditions at the end of January, but after doing so they have come to a mutual agreement to part ways.
It appears that with the game still in the beta stages SK Gaming don't feel comfortable offering the kind of support that the team would have needed or had requested, with the organisation stating that:
Right now it is hard to see where dota2 is going and it is still in the beta version, so we couldn't find an agreement between both parties.
Given the recent influx of major organisations and the continual growth of DotA2 it may surprise some that the team have been released, but with plenty of talent and the results to back it up they shouldn't have much trouble finding a new home. Whether SK Gaming choose to pick up another team remains to be seen.
The entire statement read:
I first met the team at ESWC Paris and signed them before Dreamhack Winter. When both sides signed the contract we agreed on talking about better conditions at end of January 2012.Right now it is hard to see where dota2 is going and it is still in the beta version, so we couldn't find an agreement between both parties. I am very thankful for the effort that those guys put into the game for SK and hope that they will find a new organization which can fulfill their needs.
