Some months ago Serious decided to part ways with several players of its Warcraft 3 team to conserve a hardcore of two pro-players to represent the team: Kevin 'RotterdaM' van der Kooi and Hjalmar 'DowaQ' Hogberg. Amongst the players who left Serious was Nikolaus ‘SonKiE’ Cassidy, who found a new team in Gravitas Gaming. 

With the perspective to compete in the NGL One 3vs3 2008/2009 season, we were looking for a 3rd player who could perfectly fit into our team and answer to a certain degree of commitment. With this said it is logical that we announce the return of our former American human player Nikolaus 'SonkiE' Cassidy. SonKiE is the perfect choice for us as he already is familiar with Serious as a team and is used to play alongside RotterdaM and DowaQ. 

The Serious.Razer WC3 lineup which will take part in NGL One 3vs3 2008/2009 will be as following: 
Kevin ‘RotterdaM’ van der Kooi 
Hjalmar ‘DowaQ’ Hogberg 
Nikolaus ’SonkiE’ Cassidy 

Statement from Serious Gaming management: 
“Serious is happy to welcome the WCG USA 2008 winner Nikolaus 'SonkiE' Cassidy back to the team. We have had a great cooperation with SonkiE during his previous period he has played for us. That is why we have decided that SonKiE would be the perfect element to complete our roster for the upcoming NGL One 3vs3 season. From now on, with SonkiE, the strength of our team is increased and we are now ready to hopefully reach our targets. Welcome back Nik!” 

Statement Nikolaus 'SonKiE' Cassidy: "This is an overdue return to my competitive family. I'm happy I have the opportunity to again play for Serious and together with friends. I hope we will do well in the upcoming NGL One season!
