Detta udda och högst oväntade beslut blir ännu en spark i magen för Counter-Strike-fans- och spelare världen över. Motivationen bakom beslutet verkar, som alltid, vara relaterad till pengar. WCG, som förra året bland annat hade en haussad turnering i Asphalt 6, menar att deras stöd för mobilspel har gett dom mer intäkter på senare år än PC-spelen har gjort.

In recent years, the gaming and IT trends have been moving so fast. In the current status of gaming and IT industry, one of the most remarkable information to us was the mobile shipments have exceeded the PC shipments.Detta lär inte vara det sista vi hör om WCG och deras nya satsning. Håll korpgluggarna öppna för mer information här på Fragbite.se.
As wide spread mobile devices, mobile gamer would rapidly increase as well. In this situation, the major PC game publishers have been expanding their investment and business in the mobile game development & publishing.
This information was very cruel to us since we had been committed to the PC-Based gaming event for long time. We have witnessed that there have been many companies and organizations who went out of business because they didn't put effort to change. Therefore we concluded that we should create WCG's new identity.
Under this circumstance, we made a hard decision that we should bring the mobile, new key sector in the game industry, in our event concept. Hence, WCG decided to start the Mobile Game-Based Festival.
To create the Mobile Game-Based Festival, WCG is under the discussion with the sponsors and game publishers regarding new event structure and the countries for new festival. Therefore, there will be no longer present event module, such as Pan Championship, and PC-Based National Finals. And, the official game titles of WCG will consist of mobile games.
