While this is one side of the story, it seems somewhat believable when considered with AZKs track record. | ||

Though the testimonials about AZK have been one sided, it doesn't seem that this Gus character is coming out with any public discretion. I feel sorry for you and all the shit you had to deal with when negotiating and planning this clusterfuck event where the production value really did seem pathetic. I mean why would they use someone like CheekyDuck to cast? Did they even find any decent qualifications for it (no offence to them but when you contrast them with Tastosis there's no excuse to have such 2nd rate casting). Thanks for enlightening and I hope the SEA community does recover quickly from this as there are some great players in that area, but apparently work ethics aren't as apparent. | ||

I wonder what AZK have to say about this now. | ||

Thanks, I'm sure we'll get there eventually.  In the meantime, we have this to look forward to. | ||

I wouldn't be surprised if IGN (or the $2k? HoN tourney sponsorship) paid for all the flights that Gus is using to bribe players to join AZK with. The guy should be permanently banned from the scene unless he somehow comes up with legit explanation. | ||

If mOOnGLaDe accepts, he is required to represent Team AZK at the event, and join the team for 3 months. (GLaDe declined) Hmm..thats kinda interesting, I remember seeing a post about mvp.violet joining azk, wonder if the "joining azk" was another publicity stunt pulled off using a similar clause. Also is sickness a real legit member, or is he temporary too just for the purpose of the event? These guys seem so shady, thought they were just trolls, but this is now going down to fraud. | ||

Damn. I hoped that it would be a well-run event since Philippines is my mother country. But, all this bullshit makes me very sad. I was even being pitiful for the streaming fail(s) since I know for myself that PH internet is bad. Goodluck in the future though. I'm hoping it won't hurt SEA eSports as much as we think. | ||

He singlehandedly organises multiple and regular SEA tournaments and was instrumental in organising the Blizzard SEA Invitational and WCG Australia. Thank you for your perspective in such a well written post. Also props to Moonglade for not buying in on the BS of Gus (AZK.WitchDoc) Ledesma and for YoonYJ for not erupting into flame, a model eSportsman. | ||

Yet another company gus took advantage of. http://www.reddit.com/r/starcraft/comments/m48sn/the_ipl_werent_the_only_ones_swindled_by_the_ppsl/ This definitely needs more recognition - I've edited it into the original blog post. First IPL, and then S2 games? Mother of god. | ||
