Mykhaylo "HoT" Novopashyn played under the SK banner for 4 years, which is considered the team that "discovered" his talent when he was starting out in Warcraft III.

Novopashyn performed well during the Incup weekly tournaments which prompted people to take notice leading to his invitation to the clan.

During SK Gaming's "dark days", when the team underwent massive roster changes -- Novopashyn stepped up and became one of the team's go-to player.

The Ukrainian player always has represented his country for national events such as WCG and ESWC, playing top 8 in WCG 2004, 3rd place in WCG 2006 and 1st in WCG Europe along with a 2nd place spot in the Extreme Masters.

His move to newly formed team Gravitas Gaming is sudden but not surprising. Gravitas Gaming appears to be supporting Russian, Ukranian and Belarussian players for their team. They recruited former fnatic players Mikhail "XyLigan" Ryabkov and Robert "Rob" Abdrakhmanov, along with enticing Oleg "TitaN" Kuptsov to leave his former team mousesports.

This move allows Novopashyn to shine more in his team during matches, as the recent additions to the SK team with SoJu, ReMinD and Lyn would lesses his playing time for online leagues.

Gravitas Gaming now boasts of a 6 man roster, and is currently competing in the WC3L qualifications.
