Eight teams will gather in TaKeTV studios in Krefeld, Germany, to fight for a share of the $40,000 prizepool.

The competition will run from February 11-14 and will feature a best-of-three, double elimination bracket format, with the grand finals played in a best-of-five.

i dont think henry even had problems with him

2016-02-10 18:48

I thought he was with RL when there was this drama and that he shared RL's version of the story? Oh well, I didn't follow this story closely, I might be wrong.

2016-02-10 18:53

he stayed neutral, no official statement, and there was no tension on the stream, only discomfort with how things are going in general

Alright, great for them then.

2016-02-10 19:35

Can someone explain what happened ? iam out of context

2016-02-11 00:39

In a tournament back in 2015, Richard Lewis, HenryG and Rahim were casting together. It was the first big event for Rahim and he was not as comfortable as he was when casting online matches from his home. Richard Lewis and HenryG tried to motivate him so that he could be himself on stream, but he couldn't because he considered that as "being funny on request" (which kind of is). Then the community thought that Rahim was being bullied by RL (which I don't really know, I watched the tournament with the stream muted) and there was a shitstorm on the whole tournament and casting crew on social medias. Then after that there was some war between them in their official statements which isn't clear because it's RL's word against Rahim's word, but RL claims that Rahim behaved like a princess and Rahim claims that RL behaved like a brute. And apparently HenryG stayed neutral (which I thought he didn't). Anyway, it's been a long time and it's hard to really know what happened exactly, like always.

No Danish teams, no top teams and Rahim - will be a pass for me, but gl to the teams. On a side note, wtf is wrong with people and their hunt for first comment? Are the penises of people so small that they feel the need to hunt for first comment to raise their self-esteem, though it just shows how little life they have? What a great community we have, where first comment takes presedence over reading an article! Rant over - expecting multiple troll comments.
