Red Dot to be played out online

22-12-2015 19:50

The Red Dot Invitational will be played out online rather than offline, OGamingTV has announced.

The semi-finals and the grand final of the tournament were due to be held at the prestigious Olympia music hall, in Paris, on January 12, but poor ticket sales have forced OGamingTV to cancel the reservation of the venue.

The French web TV stated that the attacks in Paris on the night of November 13 "had a deep impact on the parisian entertainment industry, especially for venues, thus generating a massive loss of attendance at the French cultural sites, show rooms and concerts."

ex-TSM will face Titan in the semi-finals

Full refunds will be available to ticket holders, and those who had already made travel and accomodation arrangements are urged to contact OGamingTV for compensation.

EnVyUs, dignitas, questionmark and Titan are the teams still in contention in the $50,000 tournament, which will now be played out on January 11. The matches will be casted by OGamingTV live from its studios.

Below are the semi-final matchups for the tournament:

EnVyUs	vs.	dignitas
questionmark	vs.	Titan

expected again

2015-12-22 20:07

Did you even read the article? It won't even be played on lan.

2015-12-22 20:08

LMAO XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD no.

2015-12-22 20:12

N1 OGamingTV, refunding the tickets and is open for compensation if you've already purchased plane tickets, hotel or wutevur.

2015-12-22 20:25

yes, although a failure of a lan, very professional of them.

2015-12-22 21:20

Using terrorist attacks as excuse for their fail, what a shame. Just saying, event was a Tuesday and tickets were around 150/200 € for only 3 BO3. No, its not a joke. It's impossible to fill a theater in these conditions, attacks or not.

You're right, OGamingTV should be boycotted. Well after this event and the prize money. Thats a pretty shitty excuse.

2015-12-22 20:33

Exactly! Using the attacks as an excuse of their failure in anticipate the public reaction to an event ($$) is a shame. Hope they get their sh*t together!

2015-12-22 22:20

Well it is most likely true less Parisians want to attend events after those awful attacks

2015-12-22 23:10

I understand that, but I don't think that's the main reason for such awful ticket sales. And if, somehow, it was, that should have been anticipated by the organizers. On my point of view that's called bad planning, which is result of top managers inability to gather enough information

2015-12-22 23:39

Agreed

2015-12-23 05:09

Woow what did they expect with those prices. Bad bussiness planning if anything. Should have gone for a cheaper venue and less pricy tickets for such a minor event.

2015-12-23 12:41

dude, tickets were starting at 55€, not 150/200.... Now of course it arguably can still be seen as pretty expensive and a Tuesday probably wasn't ideal, but let's not get too carried away spreading misinformation shall we ? :)

2015-12-23 15:39

I never said the opposite, 55€ is upper level, complete back of the theater and not a lot of tickets. Most were way more expensive than 55, even on upper level. Ok its a good theatre but we both know that this was a fail for sure because of those prices. :)

2015-12-23 16:36

Well that's crap.

sad , but understandable , let hope 2016 will be a good year for killing terrorists , so this never happen again :)

2015-12-22 20:30

ONLINE = ? 1st

2015-12-22 20:31

doesnt matter if titan qualifies dropping every map to the last chance qualifier or dropping no maps to top their group, they always get the hardest bracket

2015-12-22 20:35

Glad i didn't bought tickets. Though it was expensive as fuck for a tier 3 event

2015-12-22 21:03

What was the price? I'm interested ^^

2015-12-23 13:00

The cheapest was 55, most expensive 200 (remember, on tuesday, for a crap event with only 4 teams while ESL Cologne is 40 for the cheapest but it was major)

2015-12-23 13:27

TSM will win because they are best onliners

2015-12-22 21:22

Who?

2015-12-22 21:46

shitty company trying to have a slice of the e-sport cake again hahaha

2015-12-22 21:25

"Full refunds will be available to ticket holders, and those who had already made travel and accomodation arrangements are urged to contact OGamingTV for compensation" yes because no one bought tickets lelelel

2015-12-22 21:45

lmfao

2015-12-22 22:12

Online...here come the cheats from the teams (except titan...they suck)

France is becoming more retarded everyday.

2015-12-22 22:40

I'm baguette and the minimum price for a ticket was 55€ what a joke. For that price you can see 2 PSG games or see between 5 and 10 movies at the theater.

2015-12-22 22:42

TSM finally get something lol

2015-12-22 23:07

mimimicheater marry me <3 im not a nerd like the others :>

2015-12-22 23:08

Should at least be in the ESL ESEA Pro League format where they film in a studio without an audience.

2015-12-22 23:12

NO NAVI NO Party

2015-12-22 23:34

Yes!

gg wp by TSM very consistent online, truly deserve champion

2015-12-23 00:45

get rekt by the price =) 55€ the lowest price for watch only one day 4 game Kappa ogaming jespere vous lavez bien dans le cul avec votre arrogance " on vise l'olympia " bande d'amateur

2015-12-23 00:53

you are retarded as hell

2015-12-23 11:20

4 games ? they are 3 games and its not even BO5 its BO3 so 3 BO3 at this price is a shame

2015-12-23 11:26

pathetic

2015-12-23 00:52

can't sell tickets, better blame terrorism Kappa

2015-12-23 02:06

Would be Nice if the players would be playing on lan

2015-12-23 02:36

lol online

2015-12-23 03:08

ez for whoever is most online

2015-12-23 06:50

lol what a joke . get your shit together

2015-12-23 12:18

They were just too greedy with the prices, 3 BO3 only and yet they sell ticket for abusive prices. Take a look at the prices for the SL-i League finals, 6$ minimal price for the tickets. I mean ok it's in Paris and it's prestigious, but make it 25€ for example.
