Fragster released an interview with the most popular man behind Games-Services and ESWC. David "R0cK3r" Donschen could talk with 
Matthieu Dallon about the Games-Services' bankrupt, the business model they used, the missing prize money from past events and the hypothetical future of the ESWC.Do you think that we can see an ESWC event in the near future?The full interview is available in English on Fragster.de. Also the same author wrote an in-depth article, "The End of a Great Dotcom Idea", covering the situation surrounding the GS bankrupt.
M. Dallon: Considering the necessary time for a potential trade-in and then, the minimum time to sale sponsorships offers and to produce the event, we shall wait until the end of the year.

The Polish server had routing problems and merely hours after the launch the Swedish servers suffered a hardware failure and has been down ever since.
The closure came about as a result of funding issues, our source explained, with the shut down said to affect both 3D Realms and the recently resurrected Apogee. Employees of both entities have already been let go.However, later on, they have received a contradicting update in regards to the fate of Apogee.
Deep Silver and Apogee Software are not affected by the situation at 3D Realms," a representative for the companies told us. "Development on the Duke Nukem Trilogy is continuing as planned."This does imply that there is a situation at 3D Realms. This sad turn of events comes after 3D Realms renewed the hopes of fans by having a journalist sit down and review their work as well a releasing a teaser.
ESL Major Series IV has started, and the Q3 Groupstage is running. Playweek 1 finished on last Sunday and 2 matches are still to be played.09:20 CDT, 10 May 2009:- (fixture)
