Counter-Strike: 4Kings wins WCG UK in controversial final

By: Luis Mira - Published August 12, 2007 at 6:09 AM EDT - Writer Archive
4Kings has won the place in the World Cyber Games event in a surprising 5vs4 final.
Four Kings had defeated Dignitas in yesterday's Upper Final and would require only one map to secure the place in the World Cyber Games tournament in Seattle.

The match was set to start at 10.00 AM GMT time, but when the clock reached twenty minutes past ten, the following message was seen:

- We are starting at 10.30 whether they are in or not.

The remaining players joined the server as the admins seemed serious about their wish to start on time. Everyone connected, except James "wilzOOO" Wilson.

Wilson had apparently not arrived at the venue on time. The match was held up thirty minutes, after which the game began, with four of Dignitas' players against five members of 4Kings.

"Dignitas didn't give a reason for wilzOOO not showing up," an i31 Counter-Strike admin told GotFrag.com.

"They were fully aware they were meant to be in the green room at 9am behind the finals' arena but wilzOO didn't turn up until 10.50."

The last Dignitas member eventually joined the server for the second half, but 4Kings already had a 12-3 advantage, which resulted in a final score of 16-4 in favor of 4Kings.

too bad for dignitas but that's why you always show up early.

Show up late, face the consequences. Its not hard to get somewhere on time and the only way people will learn is for this to happen.

The admins should be applauded for following the rules, unlike certain Australian Source competitions...

#11 there were some reports suggesting that Dignitas did everything it could to delay the event as they were unhappy with their seeding (2nd), which makes no sense after all, since it was a four-team tournament.

But 4Kings and Overtime had already complained about the delays caused by Dignitas.

Traffic because of a car crash delayed him by almost two hours? He was supposed to be there at 9, and arrived at 10:50.

Stayed at a house thats 30 minutes away, left 10 minutes late.. then got stuck on the a4 behind some cripple who crashed their car into a hedge.



some f**king stupid admin called chicane who tried to get us defaulted in group stages because ady changed steam accounts made them start the game with 4 despite the fact i was driving at 120 mph through country lanes on my way. he could of just switched game with 11 o clock game, but he's a c**t... so you can guess what happened



i get to my pc, its PAUSED in pistol round, i touched it and it quit cs, i reload and then play pistol with 7 sensitivity 20 30 7500 0.1 because f**king failed abortion chicane was tapping me on the shoulder telling me to hurry up, i politely told him to f**k off.



yeah so we lost pistol suprise suprise, and then stu lagged on the gun round.



gl in seattle 4K



i got nearly got banned for something that i didn't do at i21, but i think i might go and knock that chicken run look alike admin the f**k out.



peace

The WCG ADMINS in United States suck balls... apparently in there terms u have to "WAIT IT OUT" tell the other teams get 5, you can't start or you can't make them forfeit lol... if atleast 3 of them are in the server or u have to postpone the match tell next day!

It's not that the U.S. admins aren't good; but more that it's very difficult to determine when its the right call to make. Don't bother holding a tournament if you plan to forfeit everyone for coming 30 minutes late (I've done it before :P), but in this case it seems they made the right call.

When a delay from a team or player has a negative affect on the integrity of a tournament, this ruling must be made.

and why did not he made a cell phone call to tell that he was stuck behind the car crush? does not have a cell phone? coz, if you are in a car crash, you can claim from the police the official certificate, saying that you were stuck in the crush, so what went wrong?

it was stupid of wilzoo not to leave early for the FINAL, but it was stupid of the sh*t admin not to wait as apparently the stage wasnt even needed for a while..

for example I always hate, when they schedule games for some time and then move them by 1-2 hours. Can you imagine ManUnited not starting against Arsenal, because Rooney did not come, to say nothing that wilzoo is not of the same magnitude as Rooney in their respective scenes.

U cnt compare this to that #34

#37 wilzooo was supposed to be there 2 hours earlier. So what is an hours wait? Not much, they didnt wait that long though.

4K are an awesome team, they'll surprise people in seattle.

for me as a spectator cs and football are pretty the same in terms of that I want to see great games and on time. you should agree, and I also mentioned the magnitude of the comparison, but still it should hold. The more professional attitude we have to cs, the better chances it has to succeed as sports

people pay to see football

And a little something called TV

I wonder If any sport like baseball, basketball, soccer or football would delay a game an hour because a player was late? Probably not. Don't they have cell phones in europe? I can't believe they even waited an hour. They should remove the player and get someone who can show up on time for an important match. I don't know how they could take the chance of it happening again. It's just like people that are late for work, they get fired.

how can u compare it to somethin like football... they have more then the required ammount in football, and unless for some strange reason they signed and payed for 6 players to go to the event, they wouldnt have someone to replace the delayed player

:( unlucky

The biggest game the UK has been waiting for and the admins couldnt be assed. Yeah wilzOOO left late and thats his fault but come on, this is a game and waiting an extra half an hour isnt going to harm anyone. Dignitas would of battered 4K as well, wilzOOO is an insane player.

At the dodgeball championships William Shatner was gonna forfeit the match because Vince Vaughn was late to the match, and dodgeball is WAY bigger than CS.

Blame admins because you're late: sad dood. So if you're lying on a beach and you get sunburned - it's the sun's fault right? Take some ownership for your actions. Admin was just doing their job, maybe you should have done yours.
