Korok is widely known in the DotA community, playing for top teams as Nirvana.int and Blight.USA. Having resided in the team Deal With It a while, he played no matches due to his lack of interest in the game. With joining SK-Gaming, he has regained the interest.
- "I play HoN for fun and was invited by Cardinal to step up SK Gaming 's game. I was previously on Deal With it but I played no matches due to my lack of interest in HoN. I played DotA on many fun teams. The only notable ones were blight.usa and nirvana.int," says Korok.
The addition was made due to Josh "tabako" Tabak's break from competitive play and the dismissal of Andy "Draskyl" Stiles. The young American will most likely take on the role of solo semicarry/ganker, he says on the team site.
- "After briefly talking with Korok, and playing with him to get used to his playstyle, we knew that he'd be the perfect fit for the opening on our team, and are looking forward to a bright future with our new star," said team captain Robert "Bdiz" Tinnes.
