SK Gaming's LoL division, recent DreamHack champions are out of the shadows and launch themselves back in to the EU LCS after an incredible Bo5 series against SUPA HOT CREW XD. Fate, it would seem, destined for these teams to meet at one of the most critical junctures of both of their career's as SK members Simon 'fredy122' Payne and Dennis 'Svenskeren' Johnsen left SHC XD to join the post-LCS rendition of SK Gaming.

The series went the full distance, and would show the two SK players if they truly made the right choice. After being down 0-2 against their former allies, it would seem that their hopes had been dashed and LCS would have to wait for another season. But just as the clutches of defeat were about to close in around them, SK Gaming rallied and claimed two games in a row to tie up the series. The final game of the series was indeed a finishing blow to SHC XD as SK were able to steal the victory from them in an incredibly nail-biting finisher.

SK Gaming is the second team to make their re-entry to the EU LCS in as many days and will join Copenhagen Wolves in the Spring Split.
