Yes, as I wrote in the heading: Why isn't Av3k going to Dubai? I heard he has been training a lot for it and that he was willing to go. Does anybody know what happened? He isn't on the invited players list: http://www.esreality.com/?a=post&id=1761230.
[10:52:34] [xlo^madix] u going ?
[10:53:47] [srs\rzr\Av3k] i think there is no sense to go for me
[10:53:53] [srs\rzr\Av3k] i lose 1-2 weeks
[10:53:57] [srs\rzr\Av3k] for playing and stuff
[10:54:00] [srs\rzr\Av3k] then get 10th place
[10:54:02] [srs\rzr\Av3k] or even worse
[10:54:04] [srs\rzr\Av3k] and back angry
...and anyway, that list is based off another list of people who clicked a link that required no money or actual consideration of going, anyone could have signed up. Thus this event is going to fail really epically hard and i will be suprised if more than 8 of that list actually go, in otherwords... you'll see a completely different lineup when the ESL guys start a panic whilst they search frantically for replacements.
lol fair point :P I was just suprised that for a tournament where flights + accomodation are so expensive, there wasnt any requirement to signup for an invite.
