You stated in our forums that you believe you have been released from the CGS and your General manager has not spoken to you in quite some time, can you tell your side of this story?

Well there isn't really much left of a story to tell, like I stated in the forums, I went with my own beliefs and decisions. I neglected the league because of the fact that I was fined for attending the x3o dust off event, which was a local lan tournament.

I really felt that they went over the top with me and it really did get me ticked off. It wasnt about the money, it was more about the principal of the matter. Even though I breached my contract, I felt that it shouldn't have been such a huge ordeal.

I also felt that the league is just biased, they let other players from other games attend other major tournaments. Stermy, for example, plays FIFA for the San Francisco Optx and was allowed permission from the CGS to attend an event to play Quake. What does that say about the league? Like I stated before I just feel that the league is simply retarded and I want no part of it anymore.

Were you officially removed from the franchise, have you received an official notice from the CGS?

Yes I was removed from the franchise and I should be receiving official notice from the CGS shortly. I received a phone call today stating that my contract will be terminated and I should be receiving a letter the next day.

Were you told you would be fined for this infraction before you committed said infraction?

Yes I was actually, I already knew going into the tournament it was really stupid of me but I actually didn't think it was going to be such a big deal. I had one phone conference for the fine, but I don't exactly remember what the guy said. I was only attending this tournament for fun and to play with my friends, being this was the first tournament since I had gotten back from the CGS in LA.

I said to myself whats a couple hundred? and well... $5,000 happened.

Do you feel you have been treated unfairly and do you plan to take any action to fight this situation in any way?

Obviously yes I do but what's done is done, and well there's really no point in 'fighting' this. As I stated, I dislike the league and I dislike source so no, I wont be doing anything to resolve this issue.

So what now for aZn? Back to CS 1.6? New team?

Yeah what I said in the forums is true.. I really lost my passion and my love for this game. Maybe, well hopefully, I'll get the motivation back and decide to play again but until then I'll only be playing for fun in my spare time. Also I would like to thank everybody whos been supporting me throughout the years till now, I appreciate it guys :p
