No EPS IFNG in Stuttgart due to School Shooting


It has been reported that the Intel Friday Night Game in Stuttgart of the German ESL Pro Series has been cancelled due to the school shooting earlier this month. This once again brings up the discussion about the killer games in Germany.

As reported on Fragster.de the Friday Night Game has been cancelled due to Stuttgart "not accepting events like this at the moment" says mayor Wolfgang Schuster. The event has been discussed for a week about whether to cancel it or not but they made the decision to not support this right now.

This is due to the school shooting earlier this month where 15 people have been killed and several German politicians again blame so called killer games in Germany which the killer has been playing. The ESL have announced to looking for another location right now but nothing has been decided yet.
