It was an issue with the security guards being held past their scheduled time due to delays/overtime games.

2014-12-06 23:39

The building was rented for the weekend. But the security team was only rented to 11 or 12 midnight. By law nobody was allowed to be inside without the security so... Hope they don't forget that this time around.

Fnatic will either disband or get vaced and then disband. Or stop cheating and become a top10 team. Another top french team will form and rise to the top (as good as ldlc) and nip will start winning more again.

that doesnt change the fact you are retarded as fuck

2014-12-07 01:47

For saying NiP will start winning more again? Anyone with half a brain would realize that they will play better next 6 months than they have done the last 6 months. But I guess your name says a lot

Tbh i think Nip plays for majors only. They are a shit team in every event thats not a major

Not historically. They are currently adapting to a new player and a new play style, which seems very promising if you look at dhw results

2014-12-07 04:37

not this shit again

will be better if they make only 1 big event for csgo (with 100,000+ prize pool) together with Valve (with stickers, pick em badge, etc.) and in this way csgo will have 3 big majors divided by 3 every 4 months: GFinity (spring), ESL One (summer), Dreamhack (winter), no? :D

2014-12-07 00:51

I feel like 3 majors are way below CSGO's potential. 4 majors are the minimum next year and I wouldn't be surprised if we saw 4 majors with 250k or 500k prize pool and on top of that an International with a multi million dollar prizepool, so 5 valve sponsored tournaments.

2014-12-07 02:56

Csgo manager say in an interview that they will make something similar to international, where everybody can buy a ticket to watch GOTV or other bonuses and increase the amount of prize pool, its will be interesting to see how much it go far, specially if csgo have 4KK players, i like it even if they call it Internation CS:GO :D hahaha

2014-12-07 13:11

nice!

"major"

$20,000 or more is a major in other esports

2014-12-06 22:39

it doesnt feel like major anymore. majors every week :DD they should make like 2-3 very very big and give them name "major" then few little lan tournaments

2014-12-06 22:56

well its probably a major for Gfinity :P

niiiice

expected

They fucked up a lot of stuff in that Summer lan before ESL One Cologne. Let's hope they took the feedback well and learned :D

2014-12-06 22:29

They did have soundproof boxes though

which were not totally soundproof though

i don't know, i just remember seeing pictures

2014-12-06 22:40

wow this is huge..

Gfinity was actually one of the better tournaments i watched

wat

2014-12-06 22:31

It was horrible Many insane matches weren't even broadcasted :(

TROLL

2014-12-06 23:05

"Gfinity 2015 CS:GO delays announced" "Gfinity have come forward with a schedule they can't adhere to and prize pool for LAN events from March to September in 2015 (Hopefully)."

they should do one 80k instead

yes, or 2 with 40k but this will piss teams off, there will be too much matches for qualifications only for these events, add to this all the other things (faceit, esea, fragbite, majors, hitbox, ...)

2014-12-07 00:06

"major" $20,000 ok

nvm

n1 m8

it was the worst lan in 2014, tons of delays, no streams for a lot of good matches (like nip vs epsilon), and they invited 2 bad uk teams.

2014-12-06 22:32

2014-12-06 22:36

1st day was shit, but they solved all of the issues later. can let that one pass since it was their 1st cs;go event, maybe they learned from mistakes

2014-12-06 22:49

Just a heads up that for all 4 major's we're also paying for travel and accommodation for the teams.

2014-12-06 22:34

I can add that to the story if you want

That would be great cheers. If you require a source then we have it on our other news post - gfinity.net/news/details/the-gfinity-cha..

2014-12-06 22:41

God pls no

2014-12-06 22:42

CS:GO open qualifers? We can finally win something, and if we get in, we'll win. TRUST ME. (i'm silver 1)

I don't remember what was wrong with gfinity this year, was it delays or lack of streams? (or both) Anyway looking forward for these :)

2014-12-06 22:44

Delays, poor choices of games to stream, bad location

2014-12-06 23:34

20k major? gfinity, plz

For each major, the travel and accomodation costs will be fully provided for by Gfinity. good.

gfinity gotta step up this event, cus last one was the most shitiest event I ever seen.

2014-12-06 23:03

awesome :)

2014-12-06 23:06

CS followers are getting spoiled.

2014-12-06 23:08

just give them the benefit of the doubt.. they also pay your travels...

Seems nice, now waiting for valve to anounce their majors.

2014-12-06 23:20

Bad decision to split up the events into this many. CS:GO scene is starting to get tired of tournaments with less than 30-50k pricepools. Especially after the gazillion 40-50k ones we've had recently. I'm sure it would be better for everyone if they arranged half as many with 40k pricepool for each.

2014-12-06 23:37

nice

2014-12-06 23:50

ty gfinity, hope ibp and c9 will go, if they go i win the ets lan :D

2014-12-07 00:53

Sick from Gfinity. A regular circuit with solid prize money, just wish they'd added a big major toward the end for everything to build up to. ie. 4 minors (20k prize pools) + 1 open event Then at the end of the circuit have a major with like a 100k prize pool, and accumulating teams with invites selected from each minor alongside some sort of qualifier for the rest/fan vote for amateur teams.
