German Rainbow Six Team Start Go-Fund Me After Organization Lets Them Down for DreamHack Valencia
A German Rainbow Six: Siege roster have been left in a touch position after ‘bad luck’ with their organization, prompting them to start a GoFund Me to try to attend the upcoming DreamHack Valencia.
The roster had been representing ‘1UPeSport’ since early 2018, and most recently managed a 3rd-4th finish at the Pro League Season 7 European Finals, but for unknown reasons it wasn’t enough to stay under the org.
They also managed a top 12 placing at the Six Invitational in February, and were on a decent run of form with DreamHack Valencia coming up on July 17th.
However, surprisingly 1UP and the roster, which features Tom “Vale” Riedel, Jan “ripz” Hucke, Christian “PARAA” Can, Lucas “Hungry” Reich and Niklas “KS” Massierer, have parted ways with less than a month before the event.
As a result, the roster, which certainly have a chance of a top finish at the event, have resorted to starting a GoFund Me, in hopes that fans will be sympathetic to their situation.
The team’s coach, Lasse “Lazzo” Klie did post on Twitter that the team was looking for a new organization to represent with the roster sticking together.
But on June 14th, player ‘KS’ tweeted that they would be unable to find an org in time for the event, and so a GoFund Me was their last option.
We are going to open a “fundme” (crowdfunding) page tomorrow to get any support for the Dreamhack Valencia! We can’t pay that ourselves and will not get a org before 🙁
