ESL speak about the hostile incident

The big subject yesterday was the attack on Shaun hostile Catron, which took place late Friday evening – ESL fires back and clears out, that Shaun hostile Catron lived in the quietest part of town.

A lot of people let the community know what they thought about the accident. On the American scene, Jason Lake from compLexity stated that ESL should take care of the players. But didn’t they? ESL picked up every team arriving by train or flight, make sure to transport them to the event in the morning and back in the evening. What the teams and players do when they reach they households, should not be ESL responsible.

David "Affentod" Hiltscher, director of community management released following statement:

"Hey all,

I'd like to shed some light on the allegations made. First of all, everyone here is shocked that such a thing happened to hostile. Hannover is one of Germany's least dangerous cities, and police activity during CeBIT is very high. To put it bluntly, hostile had incredibly bad luck.

Especially if you take into consideration that the area where he and other teams are housed is a regular residential area. Being housed in private homes is a CeBIT tradition, as there are several hundred thousand people coming to Hannover for the trade fair. Hotel capacities are very low and hotel rooms are extremely pricey and also fully booked months in advance.

So all kinds of people stay in private houses, from company executives over staff and crew of all booths to pro gamers participating in the many tournaments here. Who ever has been to one of the previous tournaments at CeBIT like Masters I & II or SEC knows this. There is nothing unprofessional or dangerous about this fact, it's just normal for a giant trade fair like CeBIT.

We shuttle players from their residences to the fair in the morning and bring them back in the evening to make sure everybody gets where he needs to, and gets there safe. For all evening activities, whatever the starting point is, common sense is a requirement. Walking the street alone at night is risky in any major city.

All rooms are booked through an agency that guarantees a certain quality. All flats and houses are in quiet residential areas. We do not book rooms in bad neighborhoods.

We are very sorry to hear what happened to hostile, and our admins were the first to join him in the hospital. I understand, that hostile's statements come from a deep sense of injustice, but please keep in mind that we have no interest whatsoever to cause our star players any harm, and that we do anything in our power to keep them safe and happy during their stay in Germany.

We wish hostile a quick recovery from the shock and hope the police does its best to catch the people who did this.

If any of you have questions about this, go ahead and post them. I'll do my best to answer them."

Should there be more talking going on about the accident, we will continue to follow the case and update you.
