Forced rematch between NiP and Anonymo
Flashpoint have announced a re-scheduling of the rematch
Anonymo has just released an official statement regarding the technical errors in their latest match against NiP. The match between NiP and Anonymo was claimed to have been concluded under unplayable conditions by the NiP players.
After the Bo3-series the newly signed star player Nicolai "device" Reedtz was very vocal about the conditions he and his teammates were made to play under. He tweeted the following after the 2-1 loss to Anonymo:
The aftermath of the match has sparked many discussions amongst players, experts, and organizations and it has meant a forced rematch between the two rosters. In their statement Anonymo explains the current demands from Flashpoint and NiP as the following:
"There's is not enough time to properly respond, let alone prepare for the match. We are being forced to play BO1 (last map) today or the full BO3 on Tuesday (18.05). It's just ridiculous".
The statement also explains how Anonymo viewed the situation as it took place, stating that they did everything to help the side of NiP in the heat of the moment:
"We wanted to do everything in the competitive spirit of fair play. NiP does not seem to care that at all."
Flashpoint has since confirmed in an official statement that the rematch will in fact take place. At first, the rematch was set to take place on May 16 at 21:00 (CEST). Due to outrage from the CS:GO community, however, Flashpoint has now announced that the rematch will be rescheduled to a later date.
Is the forced rematch the right decision? Many different professional players and CS:GO experts have already given their take on the situation and the forced rematch between the two rosters.
