TeamSpeak 3 server Returns:
https://ffs-gaming.com/images/teamspeak-icon.png |
After making the decision to switch from TeamSpeak over to Discord a while ago, we noticed that demand for a dedicated VoIP server remained very high while Discord was mainly accepted as platform for textual chat rather than voice communication.
To fill an empty spot in our platform we now decided to bring back our TeamSpeak 3 server.
Head over for a little chat with us at: ffs-gaming.com:9987 |

Statement regarding Sixth Sense
To begin with, we have decided to unban Project Beast (#B) clan, feel free to post an unban request.
It pains us to bring this to the public as people who may not be directly involved will be affected in an adverse manner. For too long have we tried to stay neutral towards countless provocations, but recent events forced us to react with harsh consequences.
Recently one of our competing clans named Sixth Sense (|6s) managed to breach into the Skype account of our fellow FFS member - Alin in order to spy on internal clan activity and development process. Luckily, the attacker did not mind to hide his traces at all: CheiN|6s logged into Alin's Skype countless times without even hiding his real IP, allowing us to easily backtrace the attack to inner circles of above-mentioned community. We received additional information based upon we came to the conclusion of him being just a soldier doing the dirty work. The brain of this criminal activity can be very certainly found within the leadership and probably a small circle of trusted members.
Alin's Skype login history (note the logins from Colombia)
The intruder's IP: 181.130.132.57
More logins from same IP
Searching for intruder's IP in our database pointing to CheiN|6s

This is by far not the first time Sixth Sense community is trying to undermine and attack our integrity. In fact, it is just yet another page in a book of highly unprofessional behavior such as: causing tournament server to lag with massive chat spam, unproven DDoS accusations and persuading our Squad Members to leave.
As this is far beyond any fair competition or rivalry, the whole of Sixth Sense will be:
- banned from FFS Gaming servers
- banned from FFS Gaming website
- disqualified from any clan-based & individual tournaments hosted by FFS Gaming
The situation has come to a point at which we are unable to precisely distinguish between the innocent and the guilty anymore, therefore we are forced to issue a general ban to all members of the above-mentioned community.
Still, we are willing to keep a door open to uninvolved in this activity. Those, who decide to part ways with Sixth Sense are given the chance to apply for an unban and restore their tournament participation (if possible to realize within schedule).
Regards,
FFS Gaming leadership.
P.S.: So many surprisingly bad news, right? Don't worry - we decided to soon add a little bit of "spice" to our main tournaments. Stay tuned!
