To be honest, I thought some of your opinions on the Warcraft 3 pieces were shit (excuse my French) but your command of the language was always something I admired (and was very impressed by), as a reader. <br /><br />I'm glad you came out with this, SK seems to have buried itself, I tried to offer help to Duncan too I believe but the glory days were fast fleeting.<br /><br />Good luck for the future.

I just wanted to vent my frustrations at the manner in which i felt i was unfairly treated in the end.<br /><br />Overall SK was good to me, but i feel like the last month especially was like an abusive relationship. They treated me like shit, but honestly i didn't fulfil my responsibilities either.<br /><br />Still, in the real world, being sacked often means a redundancy payment or paid leave. In esports, it means the company tries to give you LESS money than you normally earn (which isn't much to begin with).Zechshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17067737159513466449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3745223233671878754.post-48512243119745402632010-11-03T08:55:27.131-07:002010-11-03T08:55:27.131-07:00No one will ever ever be able to replace immo unle...No one will ever ever be able to replace immo unless its with an army of midgets ready to lick ass for a mousepad. I don't think SK realised the work he put in until he left.<br /><br />And yes, immo leaving had an impact on the website. At least, I don't check SK-gaming.com anymore for up-to-date scores. The matches usually are updated late, updated wrongly, commented on by the own updater with unprofessional comments or simply not there at all.<br /><br />@Taylor<br /><br />"Considering where you're moving to (a site which regurgitates information just as much if not more than SK - which I'm sure will be announced soon) and definitely has MUCH less original content I wouldn't necessarily bash that aspect of SK's coverage. "<br /><br />The site he is moving to also has a totally different aim for audience which perhaps doesn't require robotic or passionless writing. As for unique content, I can't deny there is less, but picking up zechs is a right step towards that. As for SK, losing zechs is losing the last passionate writer there which gave your readers emotions, not just facts. Anybody can look up facts if they have the time and are payed full time for it.Bintehhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02089502517126344994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3745223233671878754.post-13333722505007761052010-11-02T02:01:43.130-07:002010-11-02T02:01:43.130-07:00sk lost all of its teamspirit, fun and teamwork wh...sk lost all of its teamspirit, fun and teamwork when duncan joined, simple as that, noone bothered being on irc anymore, no fun no nothing<br /><br />now its pretty much dead anyway, at least the coverage part, not wanna say since i left but thats the way it is<br /><br />btw maly wasnt promoted because he was there the longest, i was/still am one of the longest members :p<br />i turned it down once when chris/iantje/nick left, might be because of that<br /><br /><br />apart from that im never visiting sk anymore for news or coverage, just to write information in the cs group...immohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11576797910395537999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3745223233671878754.post-82475823370037100072010-10-31T17:36:55.001-07:002010-10-31T17:36:55.001-07:00Interesting article but it also leaves a sour tast...Interesting article but it also leaves a sour taste in my mouth. Make no mistake you're a fantastic writer and gave a lot to SK but you can't just mention all the negatives of the organization because you happen to be leaving.<br /><br />You're also one of the VERY few journalists to make a monetary profit off writing, so that is something that should be mentioned.<br /><br />I would agree Duncan is robotic at times and can be very brash, as I have had quite a few disagreements with him myself: but I would go on the record to say his knowledge of eSports, in particular Counter-Strike & Quake is quite possibly unmatched. Whether or not he pumps out articles at a ridiculous rate (bringing up your quality vs. quantity comment) - he produces some of the BEST unique, feature, eSports articles ever written. <br /><br />It should be kept in mind that SK is not a website like EG where they just cover their own team - it's a universal coverage hub, so it is is BOUND to have mass amounts of articles posted that cite other sites, that's the nature of SK, it has always been that way. <br /><br />Considering where you're moving to (a site which regurgitates information just as much if not more than SK - which I'm sure will be announced soon) and definitely has MUCH less original content I wouldn't necessarily bash that aspect of SK's coverage. <br /><br />I wish ya the best Zech's I have a lot of respect for you as a writer but I find these blogs a little sensationalist so I had to comment.<br /><br />And remember.. the grass isn't always greener on the other side of the fence. ;)<br /><br />Note: I am a current journalist for SK (Hydrolis) I am not trying to hide that in the slightest.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09052819918886504785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3745223233671878754.post-60122771124069850822010-10-30T03:36:42.579-07:002010-10-30T03:36:42.579-07:00good luck -0-good luck -0-Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12206892537667351627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3745223233671878754.post-78880984799349827892010-10-26T17:14:56.790-07:002010-10-26T17:14:56.790-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Bintehhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02089502517126344994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3745223233671878754.post-85935976685658032872010-10-25T19:46:38.358-07:002010-10-25T19:46:38.358-07:00Great article Zechs, interesting perspective and t...Great article Zechs, interesting perspective and thoughts.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14879583350350457960noreply@blogger.com
