Den franske organisation, 3DMAX, er i dag uden Counter-Strike: Global Offensive-hold, eftersom deres tyske tropper har valgt at gå hver til sit. En af holdets spillere, Michele "zonixx" Köhler, har helt mistet motivationen for spillet, mens Manuel "approx" Zeitz ikke kan få hverdagen til at fungere med både computerspil og arbejde.

Det er nu fjerde gang, at 3DMAX mister et Counter-Strike: Global Offensive-mandskab. Den prestigefyldte organisation startede ud for lidt over et år siden med de danske drenge - ledt af Tomas "xlo" Falden og har siden da forsøgt at skabe stabilitet, men nu kaster de håndklædet i ringen.

Lineup:

  • Dimitrios "stavros" Smoilis
  • Michele "zonixx" Köhler
  • Andre "nooky" Utesch
  • Hendrik "strux1" Goetzendorff
  • Manuel "approx" Zeitz
Organisationen har offentliggjort en udtalelse, hvor man kan læse om, hvorfor de mister deres Counter-Strike: Global Offensive-hold, men det er også interessant at læse de to sidste linjer, hvor den franske organisation hinter, at de dropper Counter-Strike fuldstændig.
For two years now, 3DMAX decided to be on the Stage Counter-Strike. With the last born of Valve, we were pleased to be represented on this game which meant so much to us. It is therefore with some bitterness that we announce tonight our exit from the scene for a indefinite period. Indeed, after one last attempt with the German team composed of strong personalities, we have not managed to keep the euphoria of the beginning and are now tired of the lack of stability / performance teams.

To be honest, we are now in a situation similar to the previous teams that we recruited. After an event (here Techlabs) and individual and collective goals not achieved (here the qualification for ESWC and Dreamhack), the team is more or less in the dark ... Currently Zonixx confessed us to no longer be motivated to play, approx, can not balance work and play, and the rest of the group should continue to play Counter-Strike. In short, an umpteenth difficult situation to manage and this time it will be the last.

Indeed, tired of these situations, we decided not to resume CSGO team until further notice. We want to wait a little longer and especially take the time to think about our return or not on this game. This game explodes and it's a very good thing, however, some things get really tiring when we are facing. The approach to Dreamhack, but especially "after Dreamhack" is not a good sign and we are confident that at the end of this huge event, many teams will change with winter transfer window as we have never seen!

Anyway, 3DMAX take the time needed to continue or not the investment on CSGO scene since the release of the game.
Om hvorvidt de sidste ord skal tages som, at 3DMAX aldrig kommer tilbage i Counter-Strike, vil tiden vise. Det er ikke oplyst, hvad de tre tilbageværende spillere har i sinde at foretage sig.
