Gaming Paradise: Biggest scam in CS history?

0 Frags +

There's an event going on called "Gaming Paradise". Teams attending are Virtus Pro, Na'vi, Kinguin, Titan, Mousesports and Efrag. It started off by being extremely delayed because the PC's got stolen. They were then replaced by PC's without graphics cards and the tournament was delayed again.

After 12 hours of delay, some matches could start on awful pcs's and 60hz monitors to then get delayed again. Meanwhile, the food being served was awful: https://twitter.com/mouznex/status/640608181320855552 . 3 Titan players (Smithz, Ex6tenz and Niak/manager) ended up in the hospital and it's unclear if they will be able to attend ESL Dubai.

To top things off, on the last day of the event it turned out that the organizer's didn't actually pay for the venue and the hotel rooms. All players were detained by the police and their passports were taken. They were later returned when everything was cleared up with them, as it wasn't the players fault. The manager apparently bolted before the police arrived, stealing the event's money.

TobiWan's first CS event in a long while. Quite the welcome. The biggest worry right now is getting everyone to ESL Dubai, which starts in just 2 days.

I was thinking of posting a thread of this myself. I feel really bad for everybody that attended. I'm really sorry for everyone involved that was genuinely into counter strike. Fucking Serbians ruining a really cool place for a tournament (apparently the dudes running it were serbian). At least Titan had a good showing :D
