(GotFrag) - GotFrag has been informed that all CGS teams and players are withdrawing from the GotFrag Revival Tour, without explanation, although the teams and players had initially accepted invitation and confirmed attendance.

Complexity Manager Jason Lake and Furia Manager Augusto Zapata had both initially confirmed that their Counter Strike teams would be attending the GotFrag Revival Tour Tournament #3. Both have withdrawn their teams without explanation. The mix team of Optx, Venom and Chimera players have also withdrawn from the tournament without explanation after initially confirming their attendance. Representatives from the CGS have thus far declined to comment.

It is a very unfortunate turn of events as the announcement of CGS teams participating in the tournament had already created a buzz in the community and we here at GotFrag were excited and honored to have those teams and players participating in the GotFrag Revival Tour. GotFrag will announce further information concerning the withdrawn invitation slots soon.

WTF IS THIS???? FREAKING SOURCE AND CGS FAIL.

wow....

Gamertag: passmoreNOPE ~ team backdraft

fcking sell outs

It must suck having your life controlled for only minimum wage.

(. .*)ittst

That's bad, very bad...

I hope GF still professional and continues to cover the CGS cause it's their job, but it's a been annoying all the CGS thing in terms of gaming. They aren't gonna advance the gaming, the players do, and they are force'em to play in their sh***y tournament...

Bad news bad news...

So true, good thing the local grocery store doesn't tell me what to do outside of work.

35,000 base salary is a lot more then minimum wage lol.

#deadbolt

#9 oh yea, it must suck really suck playing a game you love and getting payed for it. YOU GOT SH IT TWISTED SON!

Barely, #12.

Actually it is, if you account 52 weeks x 40 hours a week and divide that by 35,000.. turns out that is $16.82 an hour.. I'd say that is a lot more then minimum age

#15 They dont make that much.

i make 18 an hour parking cars.

As much as i....respect what the CGS is trying to do, with stuff like this going on, i doubt we will ever see them actually come to fruition as stupid stuff like happens.
#10 they make 10K + for like 2 months of gaming. that's more than most people make in 6 months. I think they are making good money personally.

CGS & SOURCE FUCKING SUCK

asdsadsa

lulz, CGS probably said "withdraw now or you will get penalized $ wise". then they probably said, "if you say anything, you will get penalized $ wise"

Geez, CGS really sux

Oh.. and here I thought CGS' goal was to help eSports, not to be communists and demand that there tams/players just play in THERE tourny.

My mistake.

maybe my team can get an invite now

THEY DONT MAKE 35k ANYMORE, They make 18,500 for 9 months. 28,600 if you are a FRANCHISED player, CGS is dead soon don't worry.

They are scared of Gotfrags good CS coverage. Dunno why they wouldnt want their teams to get more exposure cuz more people prolly watch GFTV than source matches in CGS, 1/2 because they only show like 7 rounds of it , dumb asses.

"I never thought I'd see hacker get bent over the table on d2, but I think it just happened" -jESUIT

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

pussies

*DEAD* m Y m Neo : laugh now cry later cogut :D

CGS is f*cking trash

cgs afraid that gotfrag will steal their non-existent thunder

after PoV thrashed coL, they probably realized they shouldn't embarrass themselves anymore

the CGS doesn't want their "pros" getting crushed by these "amateurs"

Fu�cking fag�gots. CGS is trash.

that didn't take long

What a joke

whats the point of this, they dont want their teams to practice in the off season? there are very few source events to attend and by watching coL play local US teams the gap between them and international sides would have to be enormous now.

comment #9 dominated this thread

correct me if im wrong but from memory theres 3 tiers of player salarys atm
franchise 28k
protected ~22k?
normal 18k

#30 speaks the truth.

Stupid.

LuLz... I didn't expect this to happen but i know why it's happening.. Go on like CGS forums mainly the coL ones back when season 2 was starting and THEY despised the Gotfrag revival tour.. every single one of the CGS staff/CGS helpers and were just abusing it..

Scared or what..

only reason I would have watched/followed this tournament was because of those players and teams.

I'm sorry but I have no respect for the new "power-house" teams that were only mid-level CAL-invite when the CGS players were playing. (given I have my own opinion)

it's just boring, but I guess my era of following passed

QUOTE:
I sort of have the same opinion as #38 here :/ I was also interested in seeing how hard the pure-souce players were going to fail against 1.6ers.

thats "SAD" :(

Haters Make Me Famous.

i make 8 bucks sitting on my ass

need to invite mugen

Every Villain is Lemons

after PoV thrashed coL, they probably realized they shouldn't embarrass themselves anymore

ahahahaa

Check it out now

#38 you sir, are completely retarded. The skill level of pro 1.6 cs has surpassed what it used to be..

#44 no it hasnt

Be funny if CGS keeps letting people enter but then force them to leave.. owns 1.6 hard and it's funny.

Courage is the discovery that you may not win, and trying when you know you can lose.

Will be interesting to see what reason they give, if any.

haha wow, next news to come is coL suddenly drops cevo-p for "un-explained" reasons

cmon guys, you had to expect this. This is turning into a political pissing contest.

they are going to claim "it competes with our pro-am online competition"
