Yesterday, Chris "Recon" Hill, the big man behind the CyberXGames, which we all know resulted in failing LAN Finals, made a statement on Gamers.nu in which he says sorry to the CS community and gives you some insight on how this all affected him and his family.
In an update he made a statement about the prizemoney and the promised re-imbursements of the travel money.

Here's a snippet:

Now most of you hate me and I relize why. Things went wrong and certain companies didn't do what they promised for us(CXG). This caused total break down of CXG. I also take into heart the amount of money and time people wasted perparing for CXG and coming to Las Vegas. It was hard on the community and hard on the players to recover from such a dissapointing lan. I personally feel that things were set up correctly and professionaly. It took one minor thing to knock it all off track. Well this is why I am writing. I want to apologize for any part of CXG that went wrong on my part. I have been running it through my head for a little over 6 months now and I feel horrible that things didn't go as promised.

Get a load of this s***, Recon you dident do s*** @ cxg you sat around on chairs looking retarded all the time, except when you were at mcdonalds eating. I wonder who you thaught whould do all the work for you, volunteers? Yeah right how about halling some ass instead, all you and your family are good at is talking bulls***. Lies lies, I actually regret not calling the cops on your scam when at vegas. Your family should never be allowed to do business again you should work the rest of your life paying this s*** of

#67 #69 Your not quite following, we got screwed, there will not be any dealing privatly with these people, everyone that whent to CXG got f***ed. And there is nothing we can do about it, nobody is going to get their money back, we that was on site and saw how these people act, how they lie, we already know.
Flaming on forums is the only thing we can do about it. It wont make any diffrence whatsoever except make us feel better, and in this instance, make Recon feel worse, and to be honest I couldent care less about him and his feelings. I know how apparent it was that that event was going to fail, everyone does. And yes we all screw up, not on this magnitude however, and we all have to face the results of our failure. We (xP.se) won a CXG qualifier in greece witch means they gave us hard cash to pay our travel and accomodation costs to cyberxgaming in Las Vegas NV. We dident have to attend, we could just take the money and do whatever we wanted with it. So this means we spent our own money on a trip from europe to a desert to sit all day watch the Hill family f*** us over, and to se Recon laughing when the CS tournament got cancled. We should of let the Hill familiy leave Las Vegas in tar and feathers that whould of made the most of us feel better, in that I am certain.

11:58, 23/3/2004 The reason every1 is giving stick is not to do with the failure of the event, that isnt the main concern for all the people i know, it's the recovery of the money that was wasted on people going to vegas!
If we got our travel expenses back, it would all be ok nevermind. Like the WCG Paris event that didnt take place, all the teams were given compensation instantly.
