I would like to pass on generiK's (the Founder of GenetiX Gaming) words. He would have posted this himself except he's having problems with his forum account.

Quote from generiK:
From its inception, GenetiX Gaming's primary goal has been to have fun - unfortunately, we have come to a realisation that the top end of the ladder is anything but. We were having fun at one stage at the bottom of the ladder, yet as we climbed things got a little too serious for a team that never practises. We found ourselves balancing on a fine line between what is legal on the ladder and what isn't - something that all top ten teams will be familiar with. In order to win, you've got to play dirty. I'll admit that we've crossed the line, but I doubt that anyone playing seriously is without sin (have you ever molotov'ed an AI tank?).

Long story short, we started off playing just cause pub was boring, having to wait for 4 pub duds to join after another round of ragequitters.
It turns out, that was our downfall. Playing competitively, while enjoyable, turned out to sap what fun was left in what had already begun to be bland and tiring. Not only was the game boring us, it became evident that we had less and less time to play matches as gaming was not one of our top priorities in life.
We'd like to thank those we have played, met a lot of new friends, and had a great heap of fun, minor exceptions due to kids bringing their high school ego's into the community.

Shoutouts go to the whole of Greek Alphabet Clan (especially Nug), for actually showing us that ladders existed for L4D; Bruce_C from [] for having a good old laugh, Mr_Fayce for all the laughs and vent rages, not to mention his promised sexual favours, and Crazy Bill Clan: Some of the nicest guys we've played in our short stint in CyberGamer.

Have fun, and we'll see you in Valve's up and coming failure, Left 4 Dead 2, where I'm sure I will be finding bugs faster than Zombie + Arseynimz can Band-Aid patch the rules.

Sad to see you guys go, but IMO l4d2 looks good Hope you come back to that if theres a ladder. Peace. And really, if you look at your track record, you guys got up to 2nd at one point after like 3 games wasn't it? Hope we don't lose any more good teams in this ladder

You mentions Fayce's offerings of sexual favours but you leave mine out?!

I can make you laugh during as well. I just need to take my pants off. I promise.

I think we can talk through this.

Was it me? I know it was me! You keep saying it was the ladder, I don't believe you!

******* ARSEHOLE. Okay, I take that back, I still love you. Please call me!

Come on! DON'T GO! I NEED YOU!

I SWEAR I'LL CHANGE!



Anway, back to serious business and away from blowjobs and what not. I prefer to think of it as you guys taking a 2 month hiatus, until L4D2 comes out and you quit that too.
Then I'll cry.

I am going to come out, straight up and say what I feel. Which is L2P.

As the leader of PAC, who has come 3rd in the OzL4D cup, and as a clan who was consistently at the top of the CGo and would've been at the top of the CGi, I have never had to make those decisions. We have overcome every challenge with skill and fair sportsmanship. As a member of [], I have never been a part of some dodgy tactics exploiting the mechanics of this game. Again, we are currently first on the CGi.

You on the other hand have shown your utter disregard for sportsmanship by using the bug glitch teleport. If you honestly thought that was OK to do, then you are ******ed.

This is just digraceful, you are basically implying that all the good teams are playing dirty. And yet, no one at the top of any ladder has played dirty. Except for you. I would appreciate it if you respected the other teams.

Translation:

Pub stomping randoms gave us a huge ego boost and we thought we were hot **** and then we got our arse handed to us by proper teams and we couldn't win without glitching. As it turns out we lost anyway so gg valve diceroll /rage
