x6tence say no to KODE5

3/12/2010 - 22:57

x6tence e-sports club have announced they will not be attending the KODE5 Global Finals in Peru.

The Spanish team had secured a spot at the KODE5 event after winning the Spanish qualifier back in January under the name Ledpc.

However, some months after the qualifier, the company which held the KODE5 license in Spain broke up and told the team they would not be able to pay for their trip to Peru.

The Spanish organiser then got in touch with the KODE5 chiefs to explain the situation and find a way to support the team with their travelling and lodging costs.

With three of the players making a move to x6tence last month, the organisation tried to work something out, but despite their efforts to contact KODE5, they received no answer from the tournament chiefs.

"We want to publicly and officially critize this kind of organisations which provide no security to the competitions they organize and do not help the growth of esports and are an absolute burden to their expansion," an x6tence statement read.

"Finally, given the attitude of the KODE5 organisation, we are officially announcing that x6tence will not participate in any KODE5 event, nor will we collaborate in any way with the aforementioned organisation in the future."

This decision leaves the 2010 KODE5 Global Finals with no European representatives, as Russian side Iron Will have also confirmed they will miss out on the tournament.

good choise

2010-12-03 23:01

Agree.

2010-12-04 02:59

Good decision to make a world championship in Peru. :]

Peru has nothing to do with the issue with KODE5 2 completely different things. Reading comprehension 0. :]

2010-12-05 16:54

Everyone should just follow that example and ignore KODE5 in the future...

Strange

NO!

Very bad KODE5 !

Kode5 sucks :s

2010-12-07 16:37

look at you on a miror please.

2010-12-09 16:58

Whatever kiddo

2010-12-09 17:43

no x6tence in future kode5? not exactly an eschatologic issue, lol

still one more decent team that won't attend promising event, there won't be more than 100 ppl on the hltvs

2010-12-04 00:55

HLTVs had 250+ :))

2010-12-05 16:58

wooo huge

2010-12-05 17:28

imo, it was bad move, easy teams for them, they had a big chance to win this tournament, and win not bad prize

Isn't it KODE5 who doesn't pay out prize money?

2010-12-03 23:57

LOL, i didnt knew that kode5 doesnt pay money for winners?

2010-12-04 00:22

Yeah, check post #47.

2010-12-04 12:47

bad

2010-12-03 23:24

IW basically did the same.... there are news on ua-ru portals..

2010-12-03 23:23

is good to see teams without much fame, but they did well and did not participate in this year's experience KODE5, free money :)

And that's how coL will be in Kode5 (i guess).

2010-12-03 23:26

compLexity could easily have won in the Last Stance and get a place in the Global Finals, but the trip ran on its own.

2010-12-03 23:34

would be just another team, the CNB will be champion: D VAMOOOOOOOO CNBB!

2010-12-03 23:39

I think most people understood that word and to be honest, I think it's exaggerated if you have to react like that on that post but yeah, that's just me :D

2010-12-03 23:53

If reacting 'like that' is kindly requesting to compile with the site rules, I presume even you would have to agree. I know that some expressions are better known than others but everyone sticking to English makes things much easier to understand.

2010-12-03 23:58

but everything he wrote was on english , except one word which is as that guy said "internationally famous" just lol

2010-12-04 02:58

that is absolutely right.. i cannot understand either why he wrote it to that guy.. everything was in english but one word :D:D unbelievable...

2010-12-04 10:20

If everything was written in English, why one word was not? ::) The reason for this is already explained in #41.

2010-12-04 19:00

If everything was written in English, why one word was not? ::) - Because everyone knows "vamos" word. The reason for this is already explained in #41. - I don't care about that lame explanation because it's fully visible that you've made mistake by warning that guy. Take care and go over 100k posts ... you can do it !

2010-12-04 20:01

That 'lame' explanation is the only one you will get as the forum rules are there for you to read and comply with. It is as easy as that. And that is not a point 'open to discussion'. I do not care if the word is more or less known, only English is to be used in the forums. Thank you.

2010-12-04 20:07

agree with u ,gj

2010-12-04 21:46

nobody will consider this as a real victory. Easy money though

2010-12-04 01:00

2010-12-04 03:15

RIP KODE5

2010-12-03 23:33

LOOOOOOOOL +1

2010-12-03 23:37

AHAHAH +1

I presume KODE5 totally ignoring their request made it easier for x6 to decide to skip this tournament. KODE5 should definitely improve their PR stuff, especially regarding the teams qualified for their events.

2010-12-03 23:42

You mean less scam right ?

2010-12-05 17:05

KODE5 isn't the only orga with problems with their qualifiers and qualifying their activity as scam, well, no solid proofs so far, as far as I am concerned...

2010-12-06 00:52

I cant believe this. There is no any team like fnatic, mtw, NaVi, etc. This tournament have so goods cash prices: $25000, $15000, $5000. Well, KODE5 FAIL.

2010-12-04 00:06

money never delivered

2010-12-04 00:18

just on paper! in fact the organizers of KODE5 still didn't payed a lot of prize-money(~150.000$) to mTw, FX, Fnatic, SK,... - Martin(Guddo)Cordingа(ex-manager of “MTW”) said! there is a huge ROW! between ru cs community(teams, clubs, sites) and orgs of KODE5! there are a lot of sites in Ru and Ua where these news are posted on main page!

2010-12-04 00:21

hahahaha :P nice to know!

2010-12-04 04:54

Say to me you didnt expect it... It's in Peru, expensive travels lol

2010-12-04 00:16

Peru is far, the trip is expensive.

sucks! i was expecting to see at least a good match about Iron Will x CNB or wildi.... i hope Kode5 host their next event in europe, at least some top teams will play it

2010-12-04 00:29

IRON WILL is gonna play the tournament

2010-12-04 03:03

are you sure?!? it would be awesome!! iron will, cnb and wildi are all pretty decent teams!

2010-12-04 08:07

Europe is ever fucking up the american teams... now, when a event comes to South America, teams don't come... it's unfair imo..

2010-12-04 00:31

I understand that it seems unfair from where you see it but they just don't go there, there's nothing unfair in that, they are not forced to go. the fact is that KODE5 has become a shitty event, they can't pay the prizes and the teams just don't trust them anymmore, they're the only ones the blame for all that

2010-12-04 01:09

simple bcs here we have no way to host big events like usa i.e all big teams go to usa for a world final.... like kode5 brasil had almost 20hrs. fire got tons of delays, not that big events dont delay, but in south america ALL "BIG" TOURNEYS work on a 6 hours delay basis at least...

2010-12-04 01:30

well look at it this way, when a south american team can go to europe for a tournament but have to pay their expenses themselves they seldom goes, that's the same here. It's really expensive going to Peru from europe therefor not many team would pay for going to this, definetely not for a tournament which have trouble paying prizemoney.

2010-12-04 17:43

+col and +eg ._. and gl wildi :D

kode5 sucks ;o

2010-12-04 01:13

i feel sorry for the people of peru and local sponsors of the event. Probably got their hopes up thinking some big teams will make the trip, but in the end, it wasnt to be.

2010-12-04 01:19

Agree, it's KODE5 orgs guilt.

2010-12-04 01:35

I bet that too.

2010-12-05 17:09

no more kode5 next year too bad but where in the world they tought peru was a good choice for a world final .......

2010-12-04 01:27

Perhaps because of the DH qually

2010-12-05 17:11

ok realy sucks this kode5, i think if the teams arround the world (mean european, asian teams) stop think about latinamerican team are to low skill maybe some day all world have a extraordinary competition were team of all worl can be play and there with all same ppl like i, i hope this experience have for prepare the ppl think about teams latins and usa teams, wathever cant do somethin rigth now, but will be great think on that an someday we can see like NoLimits (venezuelan team) vs Fnatic or team latin agains european teams cya!

they dont think we have low skills, mibr and other teans allready showed it to then. they just as me LA dont have conditions to host big events. whats the point in makeing a world final with 200(including players) ppl on stage?

2010-12-04 01:36

TOJA :)

2010-12-05 17:17

how did they find peru?

they were drunk i think!

2010-12-04 10:27

:((((

Latin America has good game, Europe is not only good game.

2010-12-04 02:14

Thats awful, quite a big prize purse. Navi should go! :D

2010-12-04 02:48

good prizes yeah sure!! they will never be payed out !

2010-12-04 10:28

You mean "Thats awful, quite a big prize scam."

2010-12-05 17:20

this is not about the latin american's got low skill, it's about kode5 never pay what they announce.. so, what's the point of travel to peru win a tournament and then don't get paid?

2010-12-04 02:50

Good point. Some guys dont understand this xD. PD: seems like the russian guys will came after all...

2010-12-04 02:54

we will see whether they come or not !

2010-12-04 10:32

No they aren't.

2010-12-05 17:21

Iron Will Going to Perú :D!!!

2010-12-04 02:53

As they said above, i feel sorry for the sponsors who trusted the fags at KODE5, because the shitty teams attending cant give much profit.

2010-12-04 02:55

The problem is not that there are only shitty teams. CNB and Wild Ineters are good teams, the problem is that they are the ONLY real teams in the tournament...

2010-12-04 03:14

They are ok teams, not that good, their not a world class team... Sponsors money is going to the trash, sad but true, this is why less companys put money into esports.

2010-12-04 06:09

The problem is simple: Peru. For god sake, if you're doing a WORLD championship in South America, do it in BRAZIL, which is the biggest and richer country there. Or even in Argentina. But Peru, god dammit?!?

2010-12-04 03:02

brazil? like the qualify with all million problems? do it on europe or usa.

Yes, I'd rather that. But if they want SO BAD to do a tournament in South America, Brazil is the best option there is.

2010-12-04 03:17

brazil would be the worst place for an event like this, brazil have a lot of crime and kidnappings

2010-12-04 15:05

Everyone kidnapped + money scam. Bad choice lol.

iron will, play the kode5 :D:D

"This decision leaves the 2010 KODE5 Global Finals with no European representatives, as Russian side Iron Will have also confirmed they will miss out on the tournament."

2010-12-04 03:32

It seems that they will attend.

2010-12-04 03:40

Wrong.

this is good for the south american players to get some good money and maybe save it to attent more event or something. counter strike is a passion and a hobby

2010-12-04 09:08

"as Russian side Iron Will have also confirmed they will miss out on the tournament." fail organizers of KODE5 refused to Iron Will , and now the whole Russian(not only russian) eSport community protests bad english

2010-12-04 09:16

What a shitty tournament. Invite coL, EG and other good teams from americas!

2010-12-04 11:32

hahaha

2010-12-04 11:58

The situation around IW is almost the same, but now all the biggest russian community sites and gamecenters suggested an ultimatum to the local organizers of KODE5 represented by proplay.ru and the RopNet company. They need to host a tourney with a 12000$ prizemoney (value needed to send IW to Peru) or they will be ignored everywhere and their reputation will be unrecovered.
