id give it a 10% chance of going ahead and of that a 0.02% chance of it being playable

from what i know, the Sydney redbull qual is cancelled due to sponsors pulling out.

All prizes are on hold by sponsors and will only be given if they do the rest of WCG correct.

Melb wcg is pending on the 27th august.

Its pretty much fucked

thats wasnt expected at all :D

its sures wasnt

im glad I came to sydney for it, its all about the experience you know

big lan experience, its what aus needs

you know aus cs is dead when the euros are complaining and having problems with their scene yet its still bigger than when cs was at its hight here in aus. Its time to move on and wait for a potential CS2 release as thats the only thing that will bring competitive cs back in aus. 1 or two big lans wont change anything.

I didn't think anyone could do a worse job than CBN media. I was wrong, red carpet gayming....

sorry boys pissed all the prize money away trying to look like madcunts @ the ivy HaHa

LOL

sometimes the devil you know, is better than the devil you don't.

gonna try and use some of the contacts available to me, and reach out to the World WCG guy, see if he can intervene or at least make it be known we are 'left in the dark'

can we just krazy kramac on the phone please

gomez, hltv article please ;p

so can we get an ECN going or something :D

will IEM suffice fishballer?

im sure it would definitely be sufficient.

The only downfall about IEM you have to pay your own accommodation and flights to Germany zz

And if everything falls through, we shall get an ECN going

terrible news they wanted it too big too soon, forgetting about the community is the main factor in this.

they could of gotten head/leaders from different communities to help out with there issues. but no they did not, they wanted to run everything take control over everything this has made major communities doubt the name franchise WCG. look at ACL PRO a GREAT community and very well ran but the TLS guys wanted nothing to do with the communities making that there down fsll.

um cobbie I get the impression some young collared ethnic in his late teens wanted to fund a night out @ the ivy for him and his brightly coloured friends and so contacted WCG with a "business proposal". Of course the actual members of the CS community were too preoccupied with the rate of Sponny's Christian Bale-Machinist-esque weight loss and the abuse thereof to notice that the World Cyber Games Australian qualifier would ultimately be manifested in little more than a slight bump in Justin Hemmes' May takings.

Actually I think I might start a gaming event management company in time for next year

wcg melb is going ahead on the 27th, the guys are going to hopefully confirm it tonight/tomorrow from what i heard

http://www.redcarpetgaming.com.au/

melb news just came up

ill see what i can dig up on nats

yer keen CS at MC

they still havent paid out a single cent or given any prizes from the quals that have already ran have they?

something tells me they won't

At this point, I'm not confident much will happen bar LoL, SC2 & Fifa @ EB Expo GC

well riot did put 20k towards LoL for WCG, but the company actually blew it all already lmao

The CoD event has already been pulled from the EB Expo GC.

Apparently national finals now moved to CityHunter Chinatown.

Wouldn't hold my breath, we won the qual and prizes are still flights and accomodation in SYDNEY. We won with a full Sydney team..

Hey Everyone,

Well i can say with confidence that we are 100% commited behind the WCG 2011 program.

To try and answer all the questions i can ... but please remeber there is a lot here :D

So first Sydney prizes... we are commited to providing the prizes, we have issues with our sponsors providing them to us, once we have the prizes of the values commited to we will be provide a further update to the community.

Melb quals have been confirmed! 27th of August, whilst i know its short notice, i'll be down in person to ensure the comp runs as smoothly as possible.

SGL rocky, am I right to book my flights to queensland for the qualifier in september?

i wouldn't recommend it, as no offical release or confirmation of dates has been made yet.

I have ask for all dates to be stripped from the redcarpetgaming website to stop confusion.

We are right now still confirming the venue for QLD so ... CoNz ... NO don't book flights untill you have see confirmation of the dates and venue, would be my recommendation

The only venue you should be looking at in QLD is Elysium. Most likely the best cafe in aus.

Teddyt ... this is what i've heard, we have been talking to the owner about it, once its all locked in i'll make another post letting you all know!

nice ROCKY!! NICEEEEE

If you're having problems with sponsors providing the prizes for the sydney quals how can we be sure that the same problems wont happen for the melb & other quals, and that the problems will even be solved at all?

Sponsors pulling out? lol i wonder why:S.

no clue admin lmao

seems like WCG is on a rocky slope ;P

is that like an Asian Silvester Stallone?

Or did you mean Rocky ground / Slippery slope?

zzzzzzzzzz
