I et åbent interview til Pro-CyberNews, kritiserer stjernespilleren NiP-Medion CPL. Efter hans opfattelse yder CPL ikke deres optimale for at gøre deres arrangementer så professionelle som f.eks. WCG gør. Efter denne udtalelse, har NiP valgt at undskylde CPL offentligt.
Uddrag af NiP-Medions interview:
CN^Thorin) You recently chose to attend the CPL WC instead of the 1st WCG, not too praisingly due to the difference in prize purse for cs, x3 pretty much dissed the way the wcg was run, what is your opinion on the Organisation and it’s events?

(NiP-Medion-) I think its great that there are other pro tournaments then the CPL, CPL is more like the World Championship and WCG is more like the Olympics :). From what i´ve heard the rules wasn´t that hard in WCG, one game default upd/cmd, the next 50/50 etc. But i guess they learn from their mistakes and if CPL and WCG wont be on the same date again we will probably attend to it this year.
(CN^Thorin) Well whilst i can see the monetary gain you will get from a CPL event over a WCG event, it is interesting that a lot of teams/players who attended the Korean event, where pro-gaming through games like Starcraft is big, found them selves being entertained with contact offers and the chance at becoming real pro-gamers, did you miss out on this by attending the CPL WC or was there a similar amount of corporate interest?
(NiP-Medion-) I do think WCG is a bit more professional then the CPL, really making an event then just a tournament, and works very hard for gamers to feel like pro-gamers. I would say it was something similar in the CPL but a lot bigger in the WCG.
NiPs officielle undskyldning til CPL:
We would like to make an official apology to the CPL organization.
In an interview with Cypersports, a statement that NiP-Medion- made was misunderstodd.
We do NOT think that the CPL are an unprofessional organization.
Medion was trying to express the lack of entertrainment, and it was his own opinion.
We did not mean to say that the tournament/organization was/is bad. Quite on the contrary, the CPL is the best thing to ever happen to gaming, and we hope they keep doing so well.
Big thanks to the CPL for making gaming a sport. We were very happy to participate in their great tournaments.
Best regards,
Clan NiP.
Uheldig situation for NiP, især fordi de har en stor interesse i at deltage til CPLs events. På den anden side, så kan hans kritiske syn på CPL, forhåbentligt kun forbedre turneringen.

Tsk tsk
Drengen er jo også kun 16 år ? .. eller er det 17 ..
Men er der dog ikke ved at gå lidt for meget “politik” i de interviews efterhånden? ..
uden at vide noget om selve sagen, CPL er da længder foran wcg….wcg suger den fede, prøv at se på online dækningen af deres sidste event…doh, og prøv at finde demoer fra f.eks UT konkurrencen…jojo
