The Extreme Masters IV World Championship Finals are due to kick off at 10:00CET, but so far, only American team Evil Geniuses have shown up at the venue.
It is the first day of the CeBIT exhibition, meaning a lot of people will be traveling to the exhibition area. This also means the people going by car, is likely to be stuck at some point.
When we arrived at the Hall 23, only one team was here, the American team Evil Geniuses. By the looks, it is very unlikely that we will start on time, as matches should be starting in ten minutes.

Evil Geniuses - only team at the venue
Stay tuned for updates regarding how much delay there will be, before the first round of matches kick off.

2010-03-02 09:52:32
EG should win this by default. ~_~
Talk about professionalism.

Yeah, getting stuck in traffic is just so immature...
2010-03-02 10:38:46
Yeah, just like late for work because of traffic.
Our boss just not going to buy that.
They should've been on time just like EG and the media crew such as the HLTV.org team.

You can't predict the traffic, especially when you come from a different country.
You don't work in a different country towards where you live, do you?

in any case, i'd do everything in my power to be punctual, that's just my virtue.
even in some alien country, as long as i know where the venue is, i'll be there 3-4 hours earlier to avoid any unwanted troubles.

I don't think it will help anyone that they have to get up 3 hours earlier in the middle of the night to be sure to get to an event on time, which is known to always be delayed in someway, either with technical errors or other minor or major delays, it just doesen't make any sence, and i don't believe in one second that you would do that, nevermind what you say... it's just too retarded.
2010-03-02 11:13:41
That's just how I work.
If my way of professionalism is retarded to you, then so be it. Why should I care and why should you care about me? I wasn't raised to be a lazy bum.

2010-03-02 12:29:02
Why you would care is because you want everyone else to be like you (apparently)
And i'm like your mother telling you, that it's not possible.

Probably so. Punctuality means everything in my field of work.

Evil Geniuses in my heart! gogogoogogooooooooooo!
2010-03-02 10:14:32
You have got to be kidding me. I skipped school, I only slept 4 hours and got up, and now this? I mean I'm used to CS being always late, but one team on time only? Wtf? Unless there's Godzilla destroying the city ATM I'm pretty pissed off.
2010-03-02 10:17:37
If I were in your position I would go on a rampage! lol :D day fcked up
2010-03-02 10:35:51
I hope someone will give these lazy sons of bitches a great ass whuppin if/when they arrive... HOW HARD CAN IT BE, TO BE ON TIME?? Do they think they are the presidents of the USA and can come whenever they want to? No wonder that cs/esport will never become "huge" when not a single game can start on time. not even when they are playin on internet.
2010-03-02 10:17:44
true! not even online matches....and then they demand salary and talk of contracts :) and of lawsuits sometimes :P
2010-03-02 10:20:25
oO calm down, take it easy ;D
2010-03-02 10:20:34
you dont get the point in this article do you? or even read the whole stuff? the teams beside EG didnt arrived the area atm. cuz of traffic
2010-03-02 10:20:35
They should've been smart enough to have thought of that when they left for the event :)
2010-03-02 10:22:25
Well they should start earlier. That's just no excuse. EG made it on time. And besides do you blame traffic when you're late for work? Don't think your boss would give a shit. He would fire you anyway.
2010-03-02 10:23:42
you dont know what i mean do you? EG is already and i MEAN READY to play and the other teams are still comming and setting their hardware up. not sure why you flame EG?
2010-03-02 10:26:54
Where did I flame EG?? Huh? I think EG should win the whole event just because of this. I said that EG are on time. They showed the other diva teams that it's possible to be on time. So I'm happy for EG. I haven't flamed them. Guess your english is failing you if you think that I'm flaming them..
2010-03-02 10:31:50
in this way i thought you mean the americans/EG:
Do they think they are the presidents of the USA and can come whenever they want to?
:D

I'm pretty sure if Obama wants to be late, he can be late.
:D :D
Should've said the president of france or something instead. A lot of misunderstandings :) The point was, that some teams might think they are the kings of the world.

"Do they think they are the presidents of the USA and can come whenever they want to?"
made it sound like you were reffering to eg, considering they're the only US team playing today. my mistake.

2010-03-02 10:23:45
The teams are stuck in traffic.
2010-03-02 10:27:01
The reason that they did not arrive in time are because the heavy snowfall over Europe so I guess it's the same in Germany as in Sweden: Very hard to get somewhere with bus, car and train/metro right now.
:)

2010-03-02 10:28:02
Nothing new..always same story.
2010-03-02 10:30:56
proffesional cs players shure are good at looking at the radar, but looking at the clock is difficult? LOL
2010-03-02 10:31:31
EG got many new fans due to this fiasco?
