Whats next for RTZ?

[MOD]Zzxq

Hey guys, I know I have kept a lot of you in the dark with what's going, but I wanted to give you all some information on what will be happening moving forward.

After a lot of conversations with the GM staff over the past few months we came to the agreement that putting our best resources together would be the best way for the community to move forward. So with that being said RTZ as it stands now will be coming to an end and all of my time and resources from RTZ will be going toward NA Esports, which I will be working on with Smilegate. I believe that this is the best possible direction for both myself and the community, as we can put all of our best resources towards making this upcoming league massive, and the best NA / UK CF events ever. I look forward to being able to bring my administration, casting, and player experience to the table and make the highest quality of events that we can produce.

So for now, everyone who participated in RTZ, I want to thank you for your time and encourage you to look ahead to NA Esports launch season as something for you all to be a part of. We should have more details for everyone soon on how this first season of events will unfold, and trust me it will be well worth the wait.

I want to also thank everyone who is still working hard to keep this community alive, and I am confident with this first season we can give a much needed push to CF NA / UK as we look to move Crossfire to the forefront of Esports.

Make sure you guys all get signed up soon, and keep an eye out for our official announcement and if you have any other questions let me know and I will do my best to answer them all in replies or privately.

Thanks, [MOD]Zzxq

Do the teams that qualified for RTZ Pro get an alternative prize for participating?

I am still finalizing what to do for them, but yes I am planning on doing something as an alternate form of prize.

I hope they listen to some of your advice, like they used to listen to [MOD]Iceman. I wonder if the max 2 non NA/UK per team rule is gunna apply anymore.

All I can say is that I play the game without depositing not even a single dollar, I don't give a @#$% about any competitive GM initiatives/promises/big-words anymore.

Whatever you GMs decide to do go ahead and do it.

Cba complaining-suggesting-contributing to any of this anymore.

Kudos to all those who volunteered and organised all these things (EGL, RTZ etc.)In my opinion you should not spend any more time of yours into organising things for free and getting nothing in return from z8 (they should at least make you a MOD or sth ) but that doesn't mean that im not grateful for what you do and I hope that you keep doing it.

@zzxq: If you could run the LAN event by yourself and organize everything you should have done it without the involvement of the GMs now you are dependant on their announcements and decisions and we are back at square one where we have to beg and spam them for the slightest announcement. (my opinion )

What was the first

I feel that deleting your league wasn't the right direction... now we're at the mercy of the GMS, and we have to rely on them and their inexperience and rules.

I could have done it on my own, however with combined resources it will be a bigger and better season than I had planned. Not only that, but I will be able to provide the time and resources needed to get things moving along faster, and working to get things to the public as soon as possible, which is something we need.

As for "Cancellation" I wouldn't really call it that. While yes RTZ as a stand alone event isn't happening, what we can do with the resources we have now is much better.

I will do my best to get dates, structures, prizes, to the public as soon as possible and I understand the frustration, but I can assure you it is worth the wait.

I wouldnt say you're at the mercy of the GM now. When it comes to making rule sets, league structure and formats, pushing for professional and live events, you now have someone involved in getting these things done in a way the competitive community desires.

I hope so
