As the title says, the much anticipated first e-sports event in Ireland has had to be postponed for undisclosed reasons. This was a sad thing to wake up to as I for one was looking forwards to this as a starting point for events in Cork and Ireland on the whole.
The CEO of n00bgaming posted this early in the morning to inform the world of the bad news.
As I live in Cork myself, it doesn't really affect me that much but with only a week to go till this event was scheduled to take place, quite a lot of people are not best pleased with this move as they had booked hotels, time off work and even flights.
Without more details it's easy to jump to conclusions but really, doing that helps no-one and only really pushes us towards being in a worse state than we are already. I've seen already some talk that this has killed off any aspirations that Ireland has of becoming a new mecca for e-sports, but I don't think so. While I admit that it is a set-back, it's not something that the Irish scene cannot recover from.
There are a lot of dedicated people over here and with dedication and hard work, we can achieve anything.

Due to circumstances outside of our control, n00b c0n has had to be Postponed until a later date.
We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused, and if there was anything we could possibly have done to make this event go ahead next week, you have our assurances that we would have done it. Unfortunately the issues we encountered were outside of our control and have left us with no choice but to reschedule the event.
It is however, still our intention to help bring eSports to Ireland and we will aim to announce an online event in the next few days with similar players that would have been at n00b c0n, with €1000 prize pool, and are working hard to bring an offline event to Ireland in the near future.
Rest assured, all ticket refunds will be processed tomorrow.
Additionally, we would like to thank everyone who are working hard behind the scenes to make this event possible, and would like to confirm that we do still have the support to run this event in the future.
