Dv8 Clan, not Dv8 News, made a simple statement about passing on participating in the rest of Urgent Fury's Riot Act and, unfortunately, unbeknownst to us, a Dv8 member overstepped his bounds.
We planned on making a statement on the reasons why we are no longer going to be a part of this tournament, but we were trying to find the most politically correct words to explain without airing out dirty laundry.
It appears that some of you decided to make your own assumptions and accuse us of doing something that is certainly not true. What's more, UF community members such as Pathogen and WiZ, chose to add their negativity on the situation that has nothing to do with them, as they always do.
First let me say, iLL and SHO are one of the major reasons why we choose not to participate in this tournament, but not the main or only reason. We have no want to be a part of a tournament that supports clans like these that are no better than the horrible clans you find in Gamebattles.
Urgent Fury advertises Win with Honor, Lose with Dignity, but it appears that neither of the above stated clans have either Honor or Dignity. They push their way around the forums and situations that don't involve them and are allowed to do so because of how long they've been participating in UF. In fact, they seem to always use that as a crutch for the baseless arguements they start with so many here and, amazingly enough, get away with it.
In the short time, as everyone is so quick to point out, that we've been a part of this tournament, we've seen clans leave and never come back. We witnessed an "evaluation" period that we're still wondering what the point of it was for. There appears to be, per capita, the same amount of drama and cheating that occurs on Gamebattles, except Gamebattles has a rule for every situation, it appears the rules here in Urgent Fury, are subject to change per their creators discretion.
As a clan, this saddens us greatly because we have made many friends and met many respectable clans and gamers here, but we, as leaders, must do what is in the best interest of OUR clan. We could not, in all good conscience, continue to put our clan through this. It was not our intention to harm any of the remaining respectable clans currently battling in Riot Act and we sincerely apologize if this has disrupted your clans enjoyment of the tournament.
Dv8 News will continue to inform Playstation gamers about the Urgent Fury tournaments in the best light possible, as well as all the other tournaments/ladders available to the Playstation gamers and let them make the decision for themselves.
Thank you to all the respectable clans we had the opportunity to battle during Riot Act and we wish you the best of luck in the remainder of the tournament.
