Well, no, most of what Dox said is true. Avoider contacted him, Blahz0r made a page for him, Gus was furious because he felt like Dox was taking the spotlight away from him, etc.
The only real discrepancy is if Avoider was actually angry. Seems to me that Avoider was trying to come across as professional but Dox took it as blunt and perhaps haughty. It's easy to see how big a writing style difference there is between what Dox says and what Avoider says. Seriously, I don't think there is any real problem here. It's just something where cultural differences, personal differences, and the problems with conveying emotion over text has created a general misunderstanding.
I think all we can really take from this portion of the drama is that Gus is known to fly off the proverbial handle for perceived slights against him.

Well... ok... fine with me.
But Dox should edit the first page. Avoider don't need to be badly portrayed since he did absolutly nothing wrong and was just... professional. He was even gentle and polite in is request.

Sorry for the lack of responses - my last post said I was picking a friend up from the airport and then heading to a concert. Now I'm at a friends wedding, posting from my phone. Tomorrow I'll be at a music festival all day, so I won't be at a keyboard until Sunday afternoon at best. Just taking the time to post now because people were texting me saying I was being called a liar repeatedly.
I'll need to resume in the next post, phone browser is being weird.

Ugh. Just lost my whole post TWICE. TL forums aren't mobile friendly when trying to write long posts. I promise to clarify and edit the OP first chance I get.

Probably food/hotels/tournament money? I mean I have no idea... Just guessing.
That's A LOT of money. I feel bad for people that were actually working with that crew.

That's approx 12 000 USD :S
Gus definitely needs to be brought to justice. This might be a wild suggestion (plus all the info we're reading about this case comes from a game forum), but is there a possibility of donations to cover the potholes for the moment? Again, this is a pretty wild suggestion; but I love Starcraft 2 so much, and small individually insignificant amounts of money might keep a woman out of jail if pooled together.

seriously why havnt the cops taken gus already...

i just want to clear some things, so if dox "lied" about Gus being angry, spotlight taken away blah blah and all that stuff, will that pay the UNDENIABLY big debt of him? Let us remember that Dox is the 3rd party in the YYJ and Gus case, YYJ is still not compensated per se.

Perhaps that wasn't really the "lie" per se, but me being angry during our correspondence prior to the event is. Dox hasn't clarified that detail in the OP yet, despite saying that he will during the last weekend. I'm making a bit of a stink about it since I got mentioned by name in such a negative light.
I believe that Dox does have a right to be angry about this, and I'm alright with it. But getting me into the mess while I was only doing my job is definitely not necessary. It doesn't enhance his argument one bit, but blemishes it. If I wasn't mentioned in such a fashion, I wouldn't be complaining here at all.
Perhaps he really is busy, but this does seem worthy enough of his attention. He made the OP, after all.

I've watched the interview in CSInsider. Dox, I accept your apology.

Funny detail:
The AZK profile page on Facebook has been removed.
