One Days Notice

Posted by Myers at 11:52 9/10/2003.

In a rather bizarre turn of events, it seems 4K^m0rph will be unable to attend the upcoming WCG Finals in Seoul, South Korea next week. m0rph originally thought he'd be able to attend, but due to university commitments this will not be possible.

Instead 4K.cs are offering the spot to whoever is willing to attend with one day's notice. Remember whoever goes will have to be at Heathrow airport tomorrow 7:00pm, contact 4k.cs for more info. The player will travel to Korea and receive accomodation, food and get to compete in the tournament.

Obviously this is unfortunate and does not bode well for the UK's Counter-Strike prospects at WCG this year.

4K.cs won the all expenses paid trip for 5 players, so why are you charging this "fifth player" £300 considering all 5 places have been paid for?

yeah sounds like a great holiday. go with a team u dont know or dont talk to. stay with them. play games against worldclass teams with no organisation or tactics that this 'new' guy would know. then watch the team fly home on like the 2nd day.

i'd imagine it's got something to do with it being tomorrow, and the cost of changing the ticket / buying a new one? ie. it's gonna cost alot, then if the 'buyer' doesn't match it, 4K pay the difference? i'd assume a ticket to korea would be a fair bit :) [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

Team substitutions are limited to two members and can be done at any time up to September 30, 2003 (the WCGOC must be informed). After September 30, if a substitution is required due to some unforeseen, unavoidable occurrence, a request must be made to the WCGOC, and any substitution must receive the official permission of the WCGOC. Without this permission, any substitution (after September 30) will not be allowed under any circumstances.

"Rumour has it the spot will goto the highest bidder, contact 4K.cs for more info"

If this rumour is true...

you shouldn't charge someone to go on a FREE, expenses PAID trip. do they have to make you tea and clean your mice too?

you need a player, why not encourage someone decent to do you a favour and come with you by giving the place away for nothing to one of the UK's best. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

if ur realistic about winning, you need to offer the place to the best player, not someone whos going to give u the most cash id have thought being professional and all that youd want to win, not simply take the player who gives u the most money who, for all you know could be worse than someone whos only just started playing the game...
