Except today is April 1st. April Fools everyone! And sorry to all, you're not getting your winnings, ever. Beyond this, it is ever so amusing to me that cpl is in on it. Posting it on their page sponsoring this joke, openly admitting to owing players over 1mil in prize money. Only now after you have gone out of business are you going to joke about taking responsibility to all the people you screwed. You guys are pathetic.

Great interview, I only wish it wasnt April 1st. Esports could sure use a ballsy Bellarussian running an event, much better then some asshole from PR who just ran events so he could scrape off the top enough $ to retire.

Carmac, your videos are "the shit" as we say in New York.

In Czech we can do jokes all day :-P

- I was owned by police officers, they stopped me and tell me that my car don`t have maintenance inspection!
I told them that it is impossible, so they told me to check it out and get out of car to take a look at my number plate ... and after i get out of car, they told me that it is April today and that all the stuff is okay so i can continue ... :))

nintendo wii? please this is not gaming or sport or something for a serious competition. Maybe the idea is good but the nintendo isn't good enough. I think Quake III, warcraft, cs are good games for a serious competition. CPL fails because they try to make competitions with the last games of every year, quake 4, unreal, etc... games that no one play seriously at the moment.
