GO4Balkan indsamler over 180.000 kr.

Turneringen GO4Balkan, der havde til formål at indsamle penge til ofrene i Balkan, er blevet afviklet i løbet af dagen. Eventen havde sin start klokken 15:00, mens første Counter-Strike: Global Offensive kamp startede klokken 16:00. Gennem dagen kunne man donere penge, og nu er tallet så offentliggjort.

Faruk "pita" Pita startede sammen med en spandfuld andre Counter-Strike: Global Offensive topspillere en én-dags turnering, de ville bruge til at indsamle penge til Balkan. De i alt 20 spillere blev fordelt på fire forskellige hold og kæmpede så på kryds og tværs.

Sideløbende med kampene var det muligt at vinde en masse lækre fra SteelSeries, hvis man donerede penge til denne Gofundme-side. Alle kampene igennem dagen blev streamet af NIPTV, der også donerede alle pengene fra deres reklamer til indsamlingen.

Her klokken 00:00 har HLTV så offentliggjort det eksakte beløb, der er blevet indsamlet gennem dagen.

25,000€ ~ 186.000 danske kroner.

Manden bag eventen, pita, havde svært ved at få armene ned, da HLTV fik fat i ham til en kommentar omkring hans syn på dagen:

I would like to take this oppurtunity to thank every single one of you guys who were a part of this today.

This would not have been possible without all the players that signed up for this charity event. I want to give a big thank you to them. I never believed I would get such a good response from all of the players.

I want to thank everyone who was behind the scenes. Petar at HLTV.org that has done plenty of that you guys don't know, he has been my right hand on this project and it wouldn't be this good if it wasn't for him. I want to thank Qtbear, who helped me with all the graphical content regarding the event. I want to thank all the streamers and producers behind every stream from every country who did this. I want to thank fragbite for helping me around the videos. I want to thank Inferno Online for helping out and showing the best possible support ever.

LAST BUT NOT(!) LEAST, A BIG BIG THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART TO EVERYONE WHO DONATED. I WANT TO WRITE THIS IN CAPITAL LETTERS SO YOU GUYS KNOW HOW MUCH THIS MEANS TO ME. WHAT YOU HAVE ENABLED ME AND EVERYONE BEHIND THIS PROJECT TO DO FOR THE PEOPLE IN BALKAN IS SOMETHING I WILL NEVER FORGET!!!!

For dem af jer, der er interesserede i turneringens afvikling, var det Christopher "GeT_RiGhT" Alesunds hold, der klarede sig bedst igennem dagen.
