Since the start, O’Gaming has always wanted to make watching eSport with friends an amazing experience, whether it be in your living room or at a venue, and to bring our common passion in places it's never been before, where you wouldn't expect it.



The tragical events of Nov. 13 have had a drastical and deep impact on the parisian entertainment industry, especially for venues, thus generating a massive loss of frequentation in the French cultural sites, show rooms and concerts. Hotels, bars and tourism are deserted at the end of this 2015 year. In this context, we have been affected as much as any other show producer, when we thought to be safe.



However now, tickets for the Red Dot Invitational and Nation Wars III are struggling to sell, and call into question the financial viability of the entire project.



You know O’Gaming has always been flirting between unthinkable and impossible. Even though we’re accepting the risks in order to go through our common passion, it is sometimes necessary to accept that several concording factors can tip the scale towards cautiousness.



After a concertation with the team and 0ms partners, we have thus decded to cancel the Olympia reservation, to play the finals online, to broadcast them from O’Gaming’s studios.



Our excess of optimism regarding the tickets selling has probably been a determining factor. You, who are gamers and have been following us for years, know how demanding such events can be, especially in a venue like this one. The project could only be carried out with significant rates and on week days, but in light of such a great 0ms show we decided it was well worth it.



In order to allow a maximum of you to follow the events, the matches dates have been changed. The quarterfinals, semifinals and final for Nation Wars will take place on January 2nd and 3rd, live from our studios, and the semifinals and final for the Red Dot Invitational will take place on January 11, both starting at 4 pm.



We would like to present our most sincere apologies to everyone who bought a ticket, offered one to another person, or booked these days to be sure they would be able to come. Every ticket will be refunded within six weeks, and for those who already booked their transport and/or accomodation for the 12th and 13th of January and cannot cancel, send us an email at contact@ogaming.tv so we can find together a solution to compensate you.



We also want to send a special message to the players. Even though we are cancelling these final phases at the Olympia, we will continue to do everything we can to bring you strong emotions and allow you to practice your art in front of the incredible passion of the French crowd, on O’Gaming in 2016.



Know that this decision saddens us, but it comforts us in the fact that we want O’Gaming to evolve in 2016. For every long story, there are difficult decisions to make for good reasons, and these reasons will allow O’Gaming to continue to undertake calmly in the future.



Thanks to all of you for your support and your participation in O’Gaming’s everyday adventures, thanks to the players for your implication in our projects, and to all those who participate in the writing of this beautiful eStory.



Love from the crew,
