Anonymo CEO accepts Flashpoint\u2019s NiP rematch decision: \u201cWe will play\u201d NiP\/Flashpoint\/ValveAnonymo CEO and the org have accepted Flashpoint\u2019s decision to replay the third map of Mirage against NiP, and has asked for calm in the CSGO community in light of the TO\u2019s decision. Update May 18 Anonymo Esports CEO Mateusz \u2018Sowek\u2019 Kowalczyk accepted Flashpoint\u2019s decision to replay the third map of Mirage against NiP. \u201cWe will play,\u201d he said. \u201cThere is always the possibility of Valve interfering, but if they won\u2019t \u2013 We will play the match, FIGHT and deliver the show that this storyline needs.\u201d NiP and Flashpoint have been at the center of criticism and hate in response to the ruling. Sowek is asking for calm in CSGO community. It will be the best conclusion of what happened in past few days, and a result which can be universally accepted. I would also like to ask you to stop the hate. Literally. Stop hating each other. Life is as it is, and it’s often not what we wish for. \u2014 S\u00f3wek (@Sowekpl) May 18, 2021 \u201cI would also like to ask you to stop the hate,\u201d Sowek said. \u201cLiterally. Stop hating each other. Life is as it is, and it\u2019s often not what we wish for.\u201d Original story follows below The big Counter Strike news of the weekend wasn\u2019t the Saturday or Sunday matches of Flashpoint, but rather the tournament\u2019s choice to apparently go back on an earlier decision and grant NiP a rematch against the Polish team. Anonymo were the first party to make a statement, accusing NiP of \u201cpressuring\u201d Flashpoint and FACEIT organizers to get them to agree to a rematch. Despite follow-up statements by Flashpoint and NiP confirming the rematch and laying out the timeline of events (from one side of the story, at least), multiple pros and personalities took the side of the underdogs Anonymo. Flashpoint made this decision yesterday, but still didnt publicly communicate it until 30 mins before the game. How can shit like this happen in 2021? Did they know they were wrong, or why did they not announce it prior? They have also denied any contact with CSPPA. \u2014 cadiaN (@caspercadiaN) May 16, 2021 Heroic star Casper \u2018cadiaN\u2019 M\u00f8ller criticized the lack of communication from Flashpoint, apparently in disbelief at how something like this could happen in modern CSGO. \u201cFlashpoint made this decission yesterday, but still didn\u2019t publicly communicate it until 30 mins before the game,\u201d cadiaN said. \u201cHow can s*** like this happen in 2021? Did they know they were wrong, or why did they not announce it prior? They have also denied any contact with CSPPA [Counter-Strike Professional Players Association].\u201d ENCE\u2019s Marco \u2018Snappi\u2019 Pfeiffer also blamed organizers, adding what happened to NiP was \u201cunfortunate,\u201d but that shouldn\u2019t justify basically calling for a redo. \u201cThis game should not be replayed,\u201d Snappi stated. \u201cNot today, not next week. It sucks nip was treated unfair, but you can\u2019t make one right by more wrong.\u201d This game should not be replayed. Not today, not next week. It sucks that nip was treated unfair, but you can\u2019t make one right by doing more wrong. https:\/\/t.co\/jY1XeTbfio \u2014 Marco Pfeiffer (@SnappiCSGO) May 16, 2021 Indeed the fact Flashpoint just seems to be going back and taking away a win that was already in the books for Anonymo seems to be what\u2019s rubbing most people, including Team Liquid\u2019s Jonathan \u2018EliGE\u2019 Jablonowski who called NiP \u201csore losers\u201d for lobbying for the rematch. \u201cActual craziness. Can\u2019t believe they are trying to get match replayed LMFAO. If NiP had a problem at the time then DONT PLAY or find a solution,\u201d EliGE wrote. \u201cYou can\u2019t take away someone\u2019s win days later. F*** off with sore loser s***.\u201d Actual craziness. Can\u2019t believe They are trying to get that match replayed LMFAO.

Fuck off with that sore loser shit \u2014 Jonathan Jablonowski (@EliGE) May 16, 2021 Astralis captain Lukas \u2018gla1ve\u2019 Rossander simply referred to Flashpoint as \u201cTrashpoint,\u201d not leaving much room for interpretation. Even former CSGO pros now plying their trade in Valorant took the chance to take some jabs, This included Nicholas \u2018nitr0\u2019 Cannella who\u2019s now playing for 100 Thieves Valorant side. After they failed to qualify for the shooter\u2019s first Major in Iceland, nitr0 asking \u201cis it too late to get a rematch for my chance at Iceland I was lag.\u201d is it too late to get a rematch for my chance at Iceland I was lag https:\/\/t.co\/EtG5s0WA0X \u2014 M80 nitr0 (@nitr0) May 16, 2021 Currently Anonymo doesn\u2019t seem to be on board with Flashpoint\u2019s descision, and while the rematch was set for May 16, no official date or time for when the match will actually happen have been revealed. Even when that happens, and the match is over and done with, this controversy will probably still stick around in the minds of many CSGO and esports fans.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
