The most anticipated match of the night and by the eSports community, 3D vs coL, has been rescheduled. Thousands of fans and spectators were left disappointed on a night they were looking to for so long.
On a night that was being highly anticipated by many eSports fans around the world, it turned into a night of disappointment. As thousands of people waited in excitement on HLTV, they were met with some upsetting news. Team 3D was unable to field five players due to computer issues involving Mikey "method" So.

With Josh "Dominator" Sievers out of town, the team would not have enough players to play. So attempted to play from a LAN center, however, due to unplayable latency was not able to do so according to Kyle "Ksharp" Miller, star of 3D.

"Method's computer died on him this afternoon so he went to gx to play but the connection is really unstable, josh is out of town for the week so that leaves us short one," said Miller.

GotFrag also caught up with both Jason Lake, owner of Complexity, and Griffin "shaGuar" Benger of Team 3D about the situation.

"We found out at 8:45 that 3D could not field five players. We're disappointed, as I'm sure the fans are," said Lake.

Benger also regretted no match would take place.

"We were all as excited if not more so than the community for the match tonight against Complexity, and have been preparing as such all week. However, with Josh out of town, and Method's processor wouldn't boot up after tampering with his BIO settings, we were unable to field 5 for the match," said Benger, "We attempted to find a solution, and even had method travel to a local LAN center, but with their unstable internet connection and constant downloaders, playing the match tonight seemed like a waste of complexity's and the fans time. We apologize to all the fans and hope to bring you an exciting match next week."

Please stay tuned to GotFrag as this situation develops.
