Esportsfrance.com: Hi TaKE, to begin this interview could you please introduce yourself?
SK06.TaKe: Hey my name is Dennis Gehlen, I am 19 years old and I'm born in Germany in the sweet city Krefeld close to cologne. I'm studing at a economic school its my last year at the moment.
Esportsfrance.com: How you came up with the idea of this project?
SK06.TaKe: Well I was always thinking about such a projekt it was just a question of time when i would create this projekt and well one night I was thinking about founding an own team with young talented players and I started to work for it :).
Esportsfrance.com: The SK06 project has been existing for some months, what is the assessment since its creation?
SK06.TaKe: Well I think my asseassment about the team is most of them learned alot. Some of them are probably joining the most popular league in germany the ESL pro series where you can earn alot of money and overall I think we are a strong team which performed well in the last some month.
Esportsfrance.com: What were your criteria to choose the players who participate in this project?
SK06.TaKe: Well I was looking for young player who have lots of time also they should already have some "skills" and potential I prefered the incup ladder the esl ladder and some other small leagues.
Esportsfrance.com: Can you introduce your players?
SK06.TaKe: Well we have Fisch his real name is Julian he is 15 and is one of our best player and plays orc. He'll probably join the esl pro series.
Impact is our other player who can join the esl pro series he is known as Dennis in Reallife and is 17 he plays the Nightelfes.
Eric is another orc who joined sk06 after he left aod. He is playing lots of ladder we're still waiting for some nice results.
Real is our Nightelfwhiner ;p he is 15 years old and trying to become a pro with playing mass customgames every day ;P his real name is Maximilian.
Furthermore we have Xlord our youngest player called Daniel in RealLife he is 14 and plays the evil Undeads i think one of our most potential player who just need some more time to become a top player.
Rivalz joined us some weeks ago he is a Nightelf player and we think he can do well in some months but we're looking forward to it and we are happy to have him in our team he is a nice guy and fit perfect in the team :)
Ente//Maggi our dreamteam in 2on2 :p which are a bit inactiv at the moment are not really "youngstars" we needed a good 2on2 team and they are already over 20 but they are two nice guys who bring some manners in the team ;) they are playing orc (maggi) and human (ente) they are known as marco and markus in reallife :)
At least our gosu orga Azog he is doing all the stuff in clanwars, etc.. In reallife he is known as Sebastion and he is 19years old ;)
Esportsfrance.com: WIll we see Fire_de or Miou playing for SK06?
SK06.TaKe: I dont think so even if we are changing our nicks in SK.ger they won't play for us :)
Esportsfrance.com: besides you, Kookian has also been added to the line-up , isn't this going
to block some players who need experience in WC3L qualifier ?
SK06.TaKe: Well kookian won't play for us but at least he didn't have any team in the esl so we decided just to add him and let him idle some time. I gonna play some I already played one 2on2 in the wc3l war vs aod :)
Esportsfrance.com: Other recruitments coming up?
SK06.TaKe: Well probably we gonna recruit one more player soon ; ) be suprised. :p
Esportsfrance.com: How would you describe a player's training ?
SK06.TaKe: Well the normal "training" is laddering some and playing lots of cgs which. I always try to host and observe to give some advices. If we have some important games in the esl or wc3l we try to find the opponent or better to say races we gonna play and play custom games agains them find the right strat on the right map.
Esportsfrance.com: What are the goals for SK06?
SK06.TaKe: Well our biggest goal is to bring some solo players in the esl pro series another goal is to have a nice wc3l qualifickation we don't expect to qualify but at least we can manage to beat some teams ;) also we wanna win the German premier league which is the most famous league in germany.
Esportsfrance.com: What is the relationship between SK.inter and SK06?
SK06.TaKe: Well there is no "big" realtionship between the player at least i think I have a good relation to them also XlorD and HoT like each other some caust they speak the same language ;P and well they don't talk that much together but they know each other.
Esportsfrance.com: The SK06 who seemed to have improved the most by qualifying for the EPS, ThurisaZ, has been banned, and the disappointment has been probably big. According to you who will be the next SK06 in EPS?
SK06.TaKe: I think Fisch will be the next SK06 in EPS in Januar, probably 1mpact too.
Esportsfrance.com: Which are large satisfactions for you?
SK06.TaKe: Well the team fit perfect together and we have won some wars TOGETHER as ONE TEAM thats what makes me satisfied ;)
Esportsfrance.com: Do you think this kind of project is possible in other countries? For example in France?
SK06.TaKe: My french is not the best but well at least I think it's possible to create such a team in france I think it's the country which it would make most sense besides germany or probably russia too ;)
Esportsfrance.com: Are SK06 players paid? So are you?
SK06.TaKe: Well I can't answer this question ;) cause there are contracts but at least SK works like this if you rock SK will be nice to you so just think about it and make your own decision :)
Esportsfrance.com: What are the ressources given to SK06, both from the financial and human point?
SK06.TaKe: Well our players have some ressources SK give them like traveling them to some lans if they can but at least of them are to young but also some hardware like thurisaz got a shuttle computer when he joined the esl pro series. The human point well I think I'm the human point I give them all the motivation and knowledge I have to become better and 4 sure SK wants to create a strong german team and they do theire best to support them :)
Esportsfrance.com: Do you think a game like Warcraft 3, whose fame is going down, deserves this kind of project ?
SK06.TaKe: I don't think the decrease is going down expecially not in Germany :) and well at least I think even if there will be a new game like starcraft2 or warcraft4 they will have lots of experience and this kind of projekt worked out cause then they are known and got some skills (hopefully) ;) and I think at the moment the fame is big enough like you can see two sk06 players will probably join the biggest german league EPS and can earn lots of money in it.
Esportsfrance.com: You're going to play against NiP, an intenational team. How do you feel before this match ?
SK06.TaKe: Well we feel really happy to play one of the best teams around we're sure that the chance to win is really really small but we are not afraid or anything else we gonna do our best and every single map is a win for us ;) at least I think we can catch a point ;p
