fu_extreme contest & ProChallenge #2 donations

By Ovidiu Dumitru·
Hello community,

As you all know, last year we came up with the idea to helm a contest about the hardest map KZ has ever known: fu_extreme. And to make sure that it will be beaten, we have decided to set up a nice prize in cash to motivate everyone. As days passed by, more generous KZ people decided to contribute each with a nice sum and so, at the end, we had a considerable total prize of $551 (it was $651 before 2016). Unfortunately the map remained without a record even after this much money. This only tells us two things: the map is at the moment impossible to beat in a clean run without checkpoints and second, I think we all can agree that we have to take into consideration a change in our plan.
There were also some who didn't agree with the prize pool, given that it's a lot of money to go just into one place and neglect other areas of this community.

So because of this, it is our duty to ask everyone and especially the donators of fu_extreme contest in the first place ( Coppenst, PU9maker, Sitka, Fantasm, pvab aka tenub and chinakungfu), do you agree to redirect your donations to other XJ events?

In light of recent events, the new ProChallenge #2 will start on 1st of February and it will be real great if we will have at our disposal a considerable prize pool to motivate as many as possible to participate and eventually make out of this contest one of the greatest events XJ has ever held. Would you, the fu_extreme donators, agree to let us use the money for this event?

Also, we would like to ask each and everyone of you, if it is possible to donate as little as you can for this upcoming event in order to make it as interesting as possible. We have already prepared few nice surprise for you, which you will learn about on 1st of February and topping all this with some nice cash, we assure you this contest will be a BLAST!
(for those who will, please let us know in a private message that you donated specially for Prochallenge #2)


This could probably be the last big event on XJ for 1.6 KZ, before diving into other realms!

We will see all of you on February 1st for the start of Prochallenge #2!

In our opinion money shouldn't be blocked in one place. Great things could be done otherwise. But make no mistake, there will come a time for fu_extreme as well!

29/01/2016 15:53:00

I would rather donate for a nice site with nice features because this one lacks a lot of things. If this ever happens in near future expect at least $100 from my pocket.

29/01/2016 15:56:00

Thanks Selhouette333! Good to know that! A time will come for that as well!

29/01/2016 15:57:00

Hopefully before dollar hits 100 rubles in Russia :D

29/01/2016 15:57:00

Imagine how much money we could get together with csgo community for the benefit of common interests and site of what quality can be made.

29/01/2016 15:59:00

You are right. A project was in development as you know, but two guys dropped out. But with some money we can achieve a lot! A nice site with everything in one place: A UNIFIED COMMUNITY!

29/01/2016 16:04:00

Yes brother let's kick this shit.

29/01/2016 16:51:00

"brother"

29/01/2016 16:35:00

sorry,but i only pay for beating fu_extreme

29/01/2016 16:41:00

hopefully the fu_extreme prize will remain the same.

29/01/2016 20:41:00

this.

30/01/2016 00:24:00

Hey throttle you don't need money as a motivation, the best motivation lies within you, I wish I was as skilled as you are, I would be playing that map 24/7 until I get it. We'll remember you as a true legend if you do it, don't bow out!

instead of create a news for asking the donators, why don't you ask them in private?

29/01/2016 18:45:00

Agreed.

29/01/2016 18:52:00

agree to.

31/01/2016 09:15:00

Have to agree. Creating a piece of news asking them kind of gives public pressure on these donators.

29/01/2016 20:54:00

holy shit

29/01/2016 18:56:00

This newspost made me really sad. "The last big event on XJ for 1.6 Kz" I'm not ready to let go yet :'(

30/01/2016 19:21:00

its not THE last, please read carefully. Ovidiu has "big plans" for XJ and what he means is XJ going big and there will be even more events. Prochallenge2 is something that is going to happen before that... usage of a word "last" is poor choice though.

29/01/2016 20:42:00

wait for throttle, he'll beat it

29/01/2016 21:25:00

As 1.6 kz player i will appreciate more new maps to come, instead of watching fu extreme get beaten Has a mapper ever been rewarded with cash throughout xj's history? Ofc the distribution of $$ is up to the donators

29/01/2016 21:44:00

"This could probably be the last big event on XJ for 1.6 KZ, before diving into other realms!" wadt?

29/01/2016 23:08:00

come on throttle, you can do it

29/01/2016 23:22:00

yay, prochallenge2 ! can't wait!

29/01/2016 23:38:00

in my opinion it should be a prize only for fu_extreme

29/01/2016 23:56:00

30/01/2016 03:28:00

"pvab aka tenub" is the owner of kz-endo, he made this xj map http://xtreme-jumps.eu/demos_history/map_info.php?map=kz_kzj_tech and his steam profile for contact is here http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197977778722/

30/01/2016 15:10:00

lol they made an event and when someone get close to win these "dengi" they change it :D LMAO, that community ....

30/01/2016 18:28:00

Community of great, this idea not so much, I agree

30/01/2016 19:44:00

haha not gonna happen

31/01/2016 04:28:00

spr1n, please do not accept so much of a hard map from next time. Instead of putting the money there and getting the whole situation bottlenecked, we could have used it into a more general cause, like improving the site/servers (which affects all users, rather than 1 guy taking up the whole deal) Also this whole thing is unacceptable, because money shouldn't be the motivating factor in recording demos.

31/01/2016 20:47:00

Its not my intention to have unbeatable maps here. fu_extreme got in XJ map cycle only because of the public vote system we had several years ago. Also that particular amount of money was donated by users who want to see that map beaten, XJ is not in charge of that money, hence why this news post was made.

31/01/2016 07:17:00

I don't understand why all the hate on the money prize for fu_extreme. Donators want to see a demo. If they wanted to help the community in other ways, they would have donate the normal way. And it won't be fair to throttle, or other guys, who tried to record it, and find out the prize is gone when they beat it.

31/01/2016 13:41:00

In this way you steal their money

31/01/2016 20:12:00

If you change this now, you are screwing the ppl who are currently grinding this map.

01/02/2016 18:08:00

Imho, no fu_extreme - no money
