Guys I don’t know if you have seen the website. Samsung is also promoting the event on their Facebook page and other social media (see the links below).

In 4 days we will have complete takeover on the region’s biggest football portal koora.com, please find link below for reference.

I heard from someone that their are rumors going around of the event being canceled!  ITS NOT TRUE - Everything is fine. There are a lot of people that cannot make it for whatever reason and we have stated our frustration in regards the costs from day one.  Someone is trying to put false info out, its just another form of hating on those of you that can make it.  We are going to have a GREAT event. It will be historic. If it was canceled Samsung would not be promoting it with a website and on their Facebook pages.

To those of your still booking flights, hotel rooms and needing visa’s arranged, lets have contact and try to tie up any loose end. If any of you guys know Bilal in the UAE, he has found some decent prices for appartments. You guy can also make contact with him to see what he can fix for you. May be a lot cheaper than a hotel, shared costs (4-6 guys). I hope to be able to post the final list of competitors this week. Hopefully its completed with all the confirmed competitors (sorry for the delay). We are waiting for a few guys to confirm and make final arrangements.

If there are any more questions or comments hit me up ASAP.

Committed meaning confirmed?

[motg]

They all told us YES they were confirmed but "confirmed" for us will be on 4 March when we see them in person doing an ATW. So for now to be safe we have the status of committed. Hopefully it will clear up any and all confusion about the event.

[Miran Pirner]

So now there are 26 competitors instead of 16 as you first announced? Or will you be "removing" 10 from this list?

[motg]

We will be VERY lucky if all 26 of these guys will make it. We have a pretty solid list of commitments. All we can do is take the guys word and help everyone as best we can... We have options for a competition with 24 Freestylers and one with 16+ Freestylers with a qualification round. We feel that if the guys on this list went through all the trouble to come to Abu Dhabi and pay their own #$% costs then they deserve the right to be in this competition. Its not complicated, its our way of thanking them for the effort and sacrifice. There will be a local competition for UAE freestylers and we will pick 1 or 2 freestylers from that competition. Its been the same for every other MotG competition. Guys say they are coming and some didn't make it and others did. But there is a BIG difference in costs to Amsterdam vs Abu Dhabi. MotG has never paid for the costs of any freestyler to be a part of any competition. We want a quality competition under the circumstances and want the best man to win. No one will be dropped, they will all get a fair chance and the jury will decide. In past competitions we had even more than 16 freestylers compete.

We respect the community, this is why we are posting this here and we know a lot of people are disappointed that the event is in Abu Dhabi. We are VERY happy with our partnership with Samsung. We are focused on making this event a success and we will see what the future will bring. That's it, nothing more to add...
