GamePlay skip DreamHack

GamePlay stay home due to the financial crisis.

Only five days left until the northern hemisphere opens their doors to the biggest event of the winter, DreamHack. The main attraction as usual is the Counter-Strike WGT tournament with a huge prize purse of 400.000 SEK. Teams from all over the world are coming for the tournament. Seven of G7s top ten are signed up for this event but unfortunately the Finnish team GamePlay will not be attending.

Shayan the manager of GamePlay explains the situation like this:

"The finance crisis has slowed down our income. We managed to get out money but not in time to book the trip. It just cost too much. At the same time we need to train as well so we will be going to Poland this weekend for a show match."

This is the first sign of a team being affected by the global financial crisis and hopefully the last one before DreamHack.
