Germany bans all violent games at LAN events, including Counter-Strike. This move comes on the heals of a string of violent school shootings.

The past year, Germany has been plagued with large amounts of school shootings. They have mostly gone unexplained and that is the reason the Government decided to step in. Different local governments in Germany have decided to BAN all "killer" games at LAN events. This sadly has lead to the cancellation of multiple ESL Friday Night games, and it has now claimed the Convention-X-Treme tournament.

This is the first known event that a government has banned Counter-Strike, and all "killer" games, to help curb the violence. Many people are very upset, thinking they are drastically over stepping the limit. Convention-X-Treme officials say that they are looking for a new venue to be able to host the event, but at this time they were forced to cancel. Everyone that had already paid will receive a full refund for the event.
