Erik hired Gunter because of Gunter's complete lack of interest of ever winning a Blood Bowl game. The new Kurgan Murderers plan to mostly ignore playing the game, and spending their time causing casualties. While in the public world, trying hard against the odds is an admirable thing to do, in the world of Erik Skullpuncher, nothing shows more lack of intelligence and weakness than trying to make the best of a difficult situation. Gunter is part of the new, "Better to rule in Hell than to serve in Heaven," mentality. He is personally responsible for raping and then killing four Murderers fans who wanted to be cheerleaders for the team. Two were women, one was a beastman, and the last was a chaos spawn. Some money will eventually be lost in the process from ticket sales, but Erik was pleased when Gunter emerged from the interview chamber with a bloody groin, knowing the blood wasn't Gunter's.
