So he’s prioritizing a petty grudge as opposed to trying to address the situation?

Good to know.

There’s also memes: http://forums.tf2center.com/topic/5958-tf2c-memes/

MasterNoob is getting younger and younger by the day his current mental age is 10 years old!

But on a serious note MasterNoob your really not helping yourself out and TF2C by banning community members, making cheesy forum post and insulting people are you now?

Grow up man, your site is fantastic and all but your way of dealing with “customers” and the general community is appalling!

Also on that point where is this so called statement?

Fairy and Mattgician said on the Center general chat that they’re in talks with guys from the lan so the statement was postponed. Hopefully tonight we’ll have the fabled statement.

i’ll be waiting and with a fresh bucket of popcorn feel free to join me :)

Hello Gamers and DeutschLAN-enthusiasts, as well as just regular forum users,

We promised there would be a statement from the DeutschLAN organization team regarding the TF2Center topic that blew up on Saturday.

First of all, we regret the way these information were published. We did not sit down and had a proper talk in our group before Hartz posted his announcement on Saturday. That was a clear miscommunication and not professional on our part, and I apologize for that to TF2Center.

Let us talk facts: It is true that TF2Center initially were offering us a sponsorship in January when the idea of DeutschLAN became reality.
It is also true that after some time, TF2Center backpedaled. Sadly they did so without informing us on time. Now, there have been severe misunderstandings between the TF2Center and DeutschLAN staff, so that the exact timeline of when what happened is hard to figure out. . From our POV the backpedaling happened much more recently than from TF2Center´s.
However, we were disappointed of course when we heard we would get less out of the sponsorship. We were going to talk about it and see if the named sponsorship title was still being justified.
Also true is, that TF2Center requested us to not let a player participate at our LAN, stating there could be more money for us (than the now reduced amount), if we did.
We never considered this an offer we could accept in any way. We are not going to ban players from coming to DeutschLAN for money, or pretty much for any other reason than Anti-Cheat-issues.
Following up on this request, emotions took over and information about this got published while still being very disappointed about these circumstances. This was obviously a mistake by us.
Both sides sat down and admitted several mistakes, mostly about communication.

However, shit did hit the fan and TF2Center is not our main/named sponsor anymore. I want to clarify, that we do not have a main sponsor at this point of time. I know we announced differently on Saturday, but this happened without proper negotiations. We are currently looking for a new main sponsor and we are open for anyone to approach us. It is true, though, that TF2pickup.net is interested in taking over that position.

The donations we received to our indiegogo campaign were not made by masternoob or mother tereza. We have an idea who it was, but we understand the donator wants to stay anonymous. That’s fine by us, but we would want the donator(s) to reply to our inquiries anyways, to make sure no further misunderstandings occur. For the remainder of the fund raisers please refrain from using fake names in the future that could intend to hurt the relation to TF2Center. If you are willing to donate an amount and not show your own name, there is the option to do an anonymous donation.

I also want to be clear about one thing: nobody is at war, we are not enemies to anyone. Most importantly: this is not an issue between ETF2L and TF2Center!! DeutschLAN is not an ETF2L event, although ETF2L kindly grants us access to their infrastructure to announce and promote this event. We would like to keep it that way. DeutschLAN is organized by a private group of people that wants to set up an amazing weekend of Highlander gaming.

Our indiegogo campaign broke the 2k-mark, reaching our goal 22 days before the end of the campaign. Big thanks to everyone that contributed! So far we raised 2.194 € through indiegogo and another ~550 € with our donations on stream during the showmatches.
We will continue the fundraiser until it officially closes on July 28th.
Since the main sponsorship will probably be smaller than expected, we are still somewhat behind our expectations. Supporting the LAN still helps us out a lot, every Cent will be spend on the event. So feel free to keep contributing, it has been an amazing journey so far, but we can make it even bigger!

Moving on, we apologize for yesterday´s derpy showmatch. We had to bring in a replacement team last minute, had several ddos-issues und a huge delay. Overall probably not our best work, but you guys still supported us. We raised 130€ on stream plus 80€ on our indiegogo last night! Thanks and congratulations to Aesirson, who won the unusual hat raffle!

Now go out and spread love and peace and happiness!
