Guys, I would like to thank you all for the support. Four years have passed and we from GamingRS have moved on. We have never got any money owed from the organizers at the end (same as the players), all of the individuals that have been connected or worked with GamingRS have gone through various difficulties after this particular event. However, we learned an important lesson after the event, and we have moved on to new endeavors and challenges. For all of you reading this - be careful about who you work with and who you sign contracts with. Thanks again for the support!
"how hard is it to organize a CSGO tournament i already have a couple of computers in my backyard and some beer in the fridge let's go call everyone we are doing this"
I am so incredibly sorry for gaming rs because they were also involved and got their reputation damaged even though they did everything they could to help the players and make the best out of it

@robotrip M Im not Slovenian but unfortunately nowadays most countries are trash and police is corrupt literally everywhere lmao shit and scams like these happen in all countries its not exclusive.
Idk that sounds pretty lit. Like imagine going to a CS:GO tournament and then not getting paid for winning and getting stuck in a foreign country with nothing. Honestly sounds like a very good time. I’m jealous.
I just want to weight in to say one thing that you should include: The guy responsible, Saša Bulić is not Slovenian. The only Slovenian staff there were volunteers that wanted to help the tournament - much like gaming.rs, that also wanted to see it work. The whole thing was a disaster for Slovenian esports scene and as a result of one stupid fuck that has nothing to do with the country, we will probably never see an esports event again.
I've been watching a series called "The Worst" over at another channel where they talk about the worst moments of "traditional" sports, and I thought to myself, "what if theScore Esports did a series like this?" Then this pops up. You guys need to make more of these, make this a series.
I was 15 at the time and I remember me and my friensd talking about. We joked about playing in it, since we were just kids. I didn't know it was that bad and it's such a shame everything went so badly. Kind of shameful really
Nothing worse than Cyber X Games, Indian Gaming Carnival and Championship Gaming Series, IMO. In a general sense, any tournament that doesn't pay a prize money are the worst!
CGS is actually great if they just follow the WCG & ESWC route in establishing the proper tournament with no franchising system. Joke aside, CGS had a great setup for player, sponsorship and a live stream broadcast with TV deal. Tbh, the concept were ahead of its time but the execution, format and the rules of the ownership were really bad and kinda forcing the over dramatic session into the event which weren't a good interruption for every team that used to competed in there

Major props to Petar Markovic. He was left to clean up the most ungodly mess possible and did so in the best way he could. Absolute mad respect to this man. Most people would have vanished as well and just rebranded or something. The amount of stress and hell to pay for the fuck up of someone else is big burden to fix later. This be the equivalent of that guy set an entire neighbourhood on fire, ran away and left the gas and lighter under your feet.
@8:03 You can use this excuse for literally anything. *Did you set up & oversee the first manned mission to Mars where all of the astronauts died while landing? Well, it was your first time, and you did better than anyone around, so it's fine.*
Everyone blames our country for this, but no one knows that Croatians were the one who hosted it. Also I was there to stream the match since I got "sponsored" by one of the staff members, to host the Stream. I got turned down while I was setting up the stream by the Croatian production team, even tho their stream was offline and they did not want me to stream it anyway.
I'm pretty sure that .rs is a serbian domain and those names also sound Serbian/Croatian. I'm also pretty sure that a few of those hotels in Portorož are owned by some serbian rich guy, so there you go.
@Mr BuzzKill Yeah, I'm pretty sure that the hotel has all the right to keep your documents if you don't pay them, so there was probably nothing wrong on their part there.
@@martinjez1 I would never give my passport to any hotel reception ever. That's the most valuable thing you have on you while traveling why would you give it to hotel reception? I've never been asked to leave my passport at the reception and i never would ..
So I watched this video a little late but I'd like to share my story as I was there at the event: I went to the event because I wrote to them that I want to come and film for my youtube. So they said that they'll get me a hotel room and food and drinks for free. And I said heck yeah, free beer and a bed + a chance to see pasha, rain, guardian and more. The lan was supposed to start at 9am. I got the address of the event on their website, which was wrong. I was walking around searching for it for like 2 hours, I went up the hill like a crazy person in 35 degrees Celsius, but there was nothing there. Finally, I managed to contact the organizers and they gave me the correct address. I came there 4 hours late and the place didn't even open yet. And this place was basically just a giant hangar for old boats at a shipyard. When they opened the place looked exactly like an inside of the old hangar would look like. They had PCs for the viewers where you could wait and play your own csgo matches or so they said you could. The PC's had 30fps +, of course, a trackball mouse at the table that was put together for a picnic. Let''s just say I had to wait from 9am till 10pm for the first game to start. So I drank free beer. A lot of it. Players were going in and out in their swimsuits. I remember that we were smoking a joint and Neo came to our group, said if he can have a puff. He inhaled twice, took the joint, threw it on the ground, stepped on it and said that drugs are bad for us. Then he went inside. We got the news that the players got food poisoning from the hotel. It was all just such a shit fest but I enjoyed it because I was shitfaced. By the time the first game started I was so piss-drunk, I fell asleep watching the game... And then I woke up. No one was around me, it was pitch dark. I looked at the phone and the battery was dead. When my eyes finally adjusted to the dark, I found out I was alone in the fucking hangar at 3am probably. I was locked inside. They just fucking left me there... I climbed through the window and somehow got free. I then found some crazy group of people that lent me a phone so I could find a bus home, because I had to work the next day. I never talked to the organizers after that and I think I still have some footage of the event on a disk somewhere, but I need to find it. I was really mad at the time because my country held the worst lan in the history of cs and no one working there was even from my country.
Also from Slovenia and I am proud to say that a few of us students hosted a better LAN Party this year than that one. 14 CSGO teams playing at once in the start.
are we forgetting about that 1.6 tournament in Mumbai where all the PCs were stolen, it was played outside in like 100F, and everyone got food poisoning?
@@davidgoloubov5018 Proud german, just wanted to make sure he doenst think he is the almighty bad tournement historian and knows more than the whole theScore esports team
I thought it was the Hong Kong Zotac Master one lmao The tournaments got delayed and they start forcing the audience to leave the venue. They even put Windows Movie Maker edited hotel ads with default templates at the event like wtf? just not like other esport events i expected. Even it was the final, half seats are empty. btw I live in Hong Kong We are just not prepared for the esports hype imo
I dunno. I am still waiting on $$ from CPL events dating from 2001-2004. lol. When I finally got a hold of Angel Munoz he said go take it up with the people i sold the CPL right too. So great :/
@@ΝίκοςΓιαλλούσης Didn't CPL still managed to paid the prize money in 2004 ? Team NoA, that won CPL Winter 2004 had actually received their prize money but I heard a story that it went to NoA owner and he ran off all of their money. I thought CPL lost its value, status and credibility as a "Major gaming tournament in the world" started in 2006 and the unpaid prize money issue started from those year as well.
Yep, that definitely out did CyberXGames in 2004 -- I was there and ran a tournament there and thought THAT was bad, but this definitely exceeds that by far. No-one lost their passport and no acts of god.
CXG "exceeds by far" ? Lol not only that tournament was a disaster but it was horribly anti climatic too when the rest of the competition stage was cancelled and ended just like that after the showmatch. Total half arsed and incomplete event XD
I hosted smaller size LAN tournament for CoD2 and League of Legends few years ago I was admin for League but also helping for CoD and dayum it's hard people ask you only about how to do something good thing it was supported by Riot (they gave RP prices) and money was given too.But we choose CoD because most of big clans are from our and countries around and every PC can run it same for League,I always wanted CS:GO Lan but you need really good PCs.Good thing it was just one day CoD second day League and people could go home.
I still remember twitter blowing up those couple of days during the tournament, was hilarious. At least the accommodation looked good, if i remember correctly there's a pic of the old VP team chilling in a hot tub drinking champagne after their game got delayed.
Imagine this situation like you get to a foreign country and go to the Hotel at 3:00 am, wake up 2:00 pm in the afternoon. Decided to go outside and take a tour of the city but you failed because there was a god damn storm and you have to go back to the hotel. Next day you got robbed and all out have left was just a few coins left. Useless, you decided to go back to your country but your Passport got robbed along with your bag and boarding ticket for the plane. So you are trapped, with no money to pay for the hotel, food and water. You're stuck, you decided to sit in the street begging for money in English but the people doesn't understand English. You could have just killed yourself .
Couldn’t get my passport? Who are you kidding? Only you Americans would give out your passports like candy...can I have your social security number with that?
CPL after 2005 and KODE5 in 2008 onward, probably. Lost all credibility. That's why some of the event organizer like them folded and forgotten these day
@@widerspacefanz4316 CXG too. Remember CXG 2004 which were sponsored by AMD & Microsoft. It was supposed to be the biggest event, then fail to live up their standard. Half of the certain event got cancelled at the end of the day
You can be complaining as a pro player. They should be given computers that support the highest refresh rates and FPS high enough that it doesnt drop to a place that could even look like lagging. There a difference when it comes to pro players. They live off this.
Me and my friend went to this tournament and after 12h of waiting just went home, because the matches STILL hadn't started at that point. I don't remember exactly if we got a refund, but I don't think we did. These dipshits completely ruined all the potential Slovene tournaments that could be held in the future. They gave Slovenia a bad representation to not only the players, but everyone who's heard of this sorry excuse for a LAN tournament.
"It was my first event, and I still did much better than anybody around" My school esport did better than this event, only i3 with hd 620 and 8GB ram. Game is lagging a bit, but atleast we have a decent meal. And even though the 3k php prize pool for the winner and 1k php for both semi and quarter finalist was delayed 1 week. (The game is LoL, and our team only went as far as quarter finals)

I still remember twitter blowing up those couple of days during the tournament, was hilarious. At least the accommodation looked good, if i remember correctly there's a pic of the old VP team chilling in a hot tub drinking champagne after their game got delayed.
They spent all the money on the name itself 'gaming paradise'
You gave your passport to the hotel front desk? pardon ?
This plays awkwardly, similarly to the fyre festival.
Imagine this situation like you get to a foreign country and go to the Hotel at 3:00 am, wake up 2:00 pm in the afternoon. Decided to go outside and take a tour of the city but you failed because there was a god damn storm and you have to go back to the hotel. Next day you got robbed and all out have left was just a few coins left. Useless, you decided to go back to your country but your Passport got robbed along with your bag and boarding ticket for the plane. So you are trapped, with no money to pay for the hotel, food and water. You're stuck, you decided to sit in the street begging for money in English but the people doesn't understand English. You could have just killed yourself .
"A literal act of God" Uhhhhh.... okay.
bro it sounds so bad i thought the whole thing was fueled by drunk russians
I ve been trapped in Slovenia all my life
Lol, My mum is from kranj, did your parents used to eat horse shit too? cause there was no food?
Couldn’t get my passport? Who are you kidding? Only you Americans would give out your passports like candy...can I have your social security number with that?
🤢 Ewww Non American
This would’ve worked better as just a festival and not a tournament if they weren’t incompetent.
Declaring here: i will make a tournament, name it gaming paradise, but it will be exact opposite of this one. It will be the best.
those animations are gold! @5:30
It was the literal Fyre Festival of gaming
I’ve never seen a TH-cam video say 119 minutes ago
So GamingResorts didn't pay the venue, didn't pay the prizes...what did they pay for? And how in the hell did Bulic not get sued?
Im here just to say that we are Czechia or Czech Republic.. Czechnia is different country..
From today the worst tournaments or close enough should be called "gaming paradise" thank you
Csgo version of TanaCon
Hmmm, I think back in 2k12 there was the India Gaming Carnival, that might be the worst CS event
*LIVE* MUSIC, *KILLER* BEER, *EPIC* GAMING
R6s is best
@@johnvandam5507 yep
this is basically what happened in half of the tournaments during 1.6 era
Don't forget the CSS era which was a CGS event
CPL after 2005 and KODE5 in 2008 onward, probably. Lost all credibility. That's why some of the event organizer like them folded and forgotten these day
@@widerspacefanz4316 CXG too. Remember CXG 2004 which were sponsored by AMD & Microsoft. It was supposed to be the biggest event, then fail to live up their standard. Half of the certain event got cancelled at the end of the day
Man...I saw the iBP Master IV tournament live. As much as a disaster as that was it is nothing compared to this.
Remember sitting for hours waiting for the tournament.....
hey they cant be picky with the monitor or pc, mine is worse and im not complaining and im fine
You can be complaining as a pro player. They should be given computers that support the highest refresh rates and FPS high enough that it doesnt drop to a place that could even look like lagging. There a difference when it comes to pro players. They live off this.
As a Slovenian I just learned about all that now, im sorry to yall a 5 year old could organise a better tournament here XD
so.. this guy just "disappearing" is a searched criminal right now? and nobody found him?
Me and my friend went to this tournament and after 12h of waiting just went home, because the matches STILL hadn't started at that point. I don't remember exactly if we got a refund, but I don't think we did. These dipshits completely ruined all the potential Slovene tournaments that could be held in the future. They gave Slovenia a bad representation to not only the players, but everyone who's heard of this sorry excuse for a LAN tournament.
Welcome to Gaming Paradise where you can find Rest in Peace, LITERALLY!
When BALKAN people organise something😂😂😂
Hahahahahah bukvalno trazim nase komentare
Racist
UnknownDarkDragon good job, your correction is wrong you idiot
@@nutlover3609 how is making fun of people racist you snowflake?
@UnknownDarkDragon *you *you're *might've
Also, organize and organise are both acceptable spellings, so your correction was unnecessary.
before this video i got a CS:GO wall hacks ad
"It was my first event, and I still did much better than anybody around"
My school esport did better than this event, only i3 with hd 620 and 8GB ram. Game is lagging a bit, but atleast we have a decent meal. And even though the 3k php prize pool for the winner and 1k php for both semi and quarter finalist was delayed 1 week.
(The game is LoL, and our team only went as far as quarter finals)
Im getting anxiety from watching this
It's the gamer version of Fyre festival.
