"The comeback is always stronger than the setback."

European Call of Duty Players, Org Staff, Casters & Fans,

One thing that I can promise you is that we, The ACCL, will always bring excitement, passion and ambition to the table.

With ambition comes risk.

I took a massive risk when I decided to be the first to bring LAN back to the UK, on a game that has no LAN function and has been littered with issues all year long. Not only that, but we did it in front of a big audience, many of whom were there in person to look me in the eyes when things were going wrong.

We can beat ourselves up about what happened, but it's done. Nothing I can do now will change what happened at the Weekend. The only thing I can change, is how we do better for the scene by bouncing back and bouncing back by making a statement.

Any of you that know me, know that I simply do not settle for mediocracy. I want to be the best, work with the best and to provide the best so that you can achieve what you want to achieve from this industry. I will not stop until EU gets the attention, recognition and opportunities that so many involved deserve.

Sheffield had all the ingredients to be amazing. For the most part, it was still class, meeting so many incredible people and bringing the community together in one place for a shared passion.

It's time to go again. This time, failure is not an option.

Over the next few days, we will be announcing some changes, some new relationships that we have agreed but most importantly, a venue that is going to simply fucking blow your minds.

The support you all have shown me over these past few days has been breathtaking. None of you will ever understand how much it has meant to me. It is time that I repay that faith you are showing in me. It is time to give you guys the excitement, the passion and the ambition that we promise to bring.

If you guys thought the Copper Box was a big deal back in 2020, well you wait and see what is about to come.

Thank you all so much, Joe
