Danes so poročale vse večje ešportne strani o velikem presenečenju, kar je seveda bilo pismo predsednika podjetja World Cyber Games Inc., ki enako imensko prireditev organizira vsako leto. Pismo, ki smo ga dodali spodaj pa govori o tem, da letos ne bo tega dogodka, mogoče nikoli več. Dogodek W.C.G. je prinesel vedno veliko zanimanja med privržencih ešporta, zato bo njegov odhod zagotovo pogrešan, tudi med Slovenci, saj smo imeli v preteklosti tudi mi predstavnike, kakor tudi državno tekmovanje WCG Slovenia. Naj povemo, da so našo državo med drugimi zastopali »deycek« in »Jarcinho« v FIFI, »JoZhA« v Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars, »djec« ter »goOrd« v TrackMania: Nations Forever ter drugi. Tekmovanje je dalo veliko zanimivih nastopov v igrah kot so Counter-Strike 1.6, Warcraft 3: The Frozen Throne, Starcraft, FIFA, Command & Conquer ter zadnja leta tudi League of Legends in bo, upajmo da samo letos, pogrešano.
Žal je zadnja leta World Cyber Games postal bolj Azijsko tekmovanje, kajti tekmovalo se je vedno več v igrah kot so Crossfire, Assault Fire, Counter-Strike: Online itd., ki so popularne predvsem v Aziji, zato je med mnogimi privrženici dogodek izgubil tisti svoj žar svetovnega prvenstva, kar ga je verjetno hudo prizadelo po ekonomski strani ter prispevalo k nastali situaciji.
Pismo predsednika World Cyber Games Inc.:
»This year, World Cyber Games Inc. will not organize tournaments and events, including the World Cyber Games finals world.
Accordingly, each partner can use brand WCG in your country from this point. This decision was made by the WCG committee after considering the current global trend as well as the business environment.
This is a shocking news to you, we know, the entire staff of the WCG was surprised.
In 14 years, all you have to do what makes the best WCG become the greatest events in the world.
There are many great moments based on your dedication. Although the brand has disappeared but WCG spirit will remain forever in the hearts of each player and fans.
This moment is very difficult and painful for me. However, I must say goodbye to the WCG.
I appreciate the passion and enthusiasm of you in 14 years.
I hope your company will grow, prosper, and we will soon meet again.
Brad Lee
World Cyber Games Inc. CEO.«
