SK Gaming, the German esports organisation, signed the Aether roster and is now Rocket League<\/a> Esports bound.<\/p>\n

The announcement was made on 14th May after several days of teasers full of engines and zooming car sounds.<\/p>\n

Aether composed of Maurice “Yukeo” Weihs, Damian “Tox” Schäfer, Dylan “eekso” Pickering and coach Nicolai “Snaski” Vistesen Andersen will play under the SK Gaming banner effective immediately.<\/p>\n

The acquisition comes just in time before the RLCS X Spring Major<\/a> kicks off in Europe on 15th May. The Major will be the only RLCS X tournament SK Gaming will play in this season, falling short of Championships<\/a> qualification.<\/p>\n

Aether came together<\/a> in March 2021 after all three starting players were benched and kicked out of their respective teams.<\/p>\n

Their latest results since then led the trio to an org signing, placing top eight and second place in the first and third Spring regionals respectively.<\/p>\n

With only these two results, they managed to walk away with $20,000 in prize pool earnings, catching the eye of the German org.<\/p>\n
