You wanted a sensation? There you go! No one could expect such thing, but the CS-tournament in Cyber X Games with the record prize fund of 200000$ was cancelled.

All teams will get their tickets payed back and most likely some stage matches will be played in order to earn at least some money. Here is a little log with one of our readers talking to the shoucaster from iTG:

(22:38:50) (go-death|Sa1Nt) can u say more about cs cancelled please?
(22:39:25) (iTG`DeeAy) basically there's no steam server
(22:39:35) (iTG`DeeAy) and the hotel does not have a good enough internet connect to go external
(22:39:43) (go-death|Sa1Nt) ok and what about prize money ?

(22:39:56) (go-death|Sa1Nt) ok thank you
(22:40:57) (iTG`DeeAy) they're reimbursing all the players for travel and hotel
(22:40:59) (iTG`DeeAy) for the CS teams
(22:42:47) (iTG`DeeAy) money will be given away for CS exhibition matches
(22:43:13) (go-death|Sa1Nt) thank you

No matter how this tournament will end it will become a failure in gamer's mind. Amazingly big prize fund was lost. At the moment famous players are giving interview to the shoutcasters from iTG (http://listen.radioitg.com:8000/listen.pls / http://games-2.clanbase.com:8000/listen.pls), they're sharing their impressions from what had happened.
