IGC speak of suing Moscow Five
IGC organizers have released a statement regarding the recent event, offering Moscow Five $20,000 and a lawsuit.
The organizers have faced large amounts of criticism for their faults and shortcomings after the event finished. Hitting back, they have now released a statement through their Facebook page.
As ironic as it may sound, WTF Eventz, who organized India Gaming Carnival, have offered Moscow Five a nifty sum of $20,000 for their troubles, but also intend to slam them with a lawsuit.
The organizers have not detailed the lawsuit they are threatening Moscow Five with, but explain that they will be taking this step due to "lies and misconduct" by the Russian side.
Yesterday, the organizers – once again through their Facebook page – posted a screenshot of an e-mail to Moscow Five CEO Dima "ddd1ms" Smelyi about the $20,000 reimbursement.
Moscow Five are not the only ones in for a lawsuit, however. According to the announcement, signed by Kushagra, vendors and ex-employees are also being targeted.
The announcement contains nine points in which the organizers try to explain some of their faults. Among them the lack of sponsors and former employees turning the vendors against them.
3. We tried our best but couldn't get any sponsorship. Later we found out that whichever company we approached closed the deal because few other prominent figures of the Gaming Industry came behind us to spoil the curry. (Fact told by people from Sony & Nvidia). However, even without sponsors we continued with the event and pulled it off, though not in an expected fashion.
The India Gaming Carnival websites lists several partners, but few sponsors. GenNext and NRS Construction, two Indian-based companies, are named as co-sponsors.
Consumer electronics giant BenQ were listed as the event's official display partner, but have now been removed. According to what HLTV.org understands, AOC International monitors were used.
Moreover, the organizers lay blame on problems that occured on the first day of the event and state that they decided to go ahead with the event instead of cancelling it.
4. After the first day problems, even the biggest event company on this earth would have called it off. But we stood firm and decided to pull it off even if that meant having a bad face in public.
Many have questioned the organizers' ability to pay out the promised prize money. $60,000 was in the pot for Counter-Strike alone, and the statement assures that it will be paid.

Hi all,
There are few points which we would like to clear:1. IGC was our first event.
2. There were many fiascos related to our event but still we pulled it off.
3. We tried our best but couldn't get any sponsorship. Later we found out that whichever company we approached closed the deal because few other prominent figures of the Gaming Industry came behind us to spoil the curry. (Fact told by people from Sony & Nvidia). However, even without sponsors we continued with the event and pulled it off, though not in an expected fashion.
4. For all those people who wonder why we were underprepared, ask all the ex-employees, who turned all our vendors against us at the very last moment. Still we arranged for all the infrastructure at the last moment. Not to worry guys, all the vendors are getting sued too!
4. After the first day problems, even the biggest event company on this earth would have called it off. But we stood firm and decided to pull it off even if that meant having a bad face in public.
5. We distributed all on-spot prizes, Tablets (almost 20) and innumerable CDs and many goodie bags. This clarifies, that we never had any kind of escaping intentions.
6. Many of you and few of our ex-employees thought not to support us, even if that meant supporting the biggest e-sporting event of India. We did our share of mistakes, but then were you guys there to support us or to help us in putting a better show?
7. As far as the fake Bank Guarantee is concerned which is doing the rounds on Internet, i would like to assure you that its not from us at all. Whosoever involved, will be punished according to Indian Law. Even M5 is on its way to be sued for their lies and misconduct.
8. As far as the prize money distribution is concerned, we would like to re-assure all the winners that their payment will be made. Disbursement of Prize money takes time as their are various Governmental procedures involved. Just a curious question, did you ever know that even KBC took around 90-120 days to disburse their prize money?
9. For all the ex-employees and people who tried their best to sabotage our image, be prepared. We have the list and we are suing you all.
For all the genuine supporters, we thank you from the bottom of our heart for your support in our valiant effort of putting up a better show.
Regards,
Kushagra
