SK Gaming is a German esports organization, they are primarily known for their hugely successful Counter-Strike team. The team is crowned as one of the best teams in the game winning almost all the championships in the EU and EMEA region. Schroet Kommando was founded in 1997 as a German Quake-Clan by siblings Ralf “Griff” Reichert, Tim “Burke” Reichert , Benjamin “Kane” Reichert and four friends in Oberhausen. According to Ralf Reichert, the original naming of the organization arose because one of the members repeatedly shouted, “Schroet!”, which is generally a term for a player playing with a double-shotgun . Since then, the team used the abbreviation SK more frequently until it eventually became SK Gaming. In 2003, SK Gaming became the first electronic sports organization to contract players, beginning with the SK Sweden Counter-Strike squad. Deutsche Telekom, Mercedes Benz, ARAG, HYLO, Western, Digital, 11teamsports, Nike, EPOS, AMD and Krombacher are some big leading companies that sponsor SK gaming.
SK Gaming decided to enter the Brawl Stars arena a little late compared to other big teams. In early 2020, they signed the ex PSG players and formed a team consisting of Yde, Achille, xImSkYRiiKZz and TwistiTwik. As these players were already established they easily took over the EMEA region and dominated it. Then they appointed Pedro Guijarro as their coach and OscarDC as analyst. Currently they have Symantec, GuilleVGX and iKaoss in their team. All these players can be seen among the top 100 on the world leaderboards. They also have their own youtube channels where the upload their trickshots/tips & tricks videos at very high trophy count.
