Thanks for the information Dox. Appreciate all the transparency, things like this will help people know who can be trusted and who cannot.

This definitely needs more recognition - I've edited it into the original blog post.

First IPL, and then S2 games? Mother of god.

Lazy bums. So disappointed.

They probably had no idea how much work they needed to put in. That's their fault.

I think this deserves to be in SC2 general to get more community exposure.

I didn't want to create yet another thread about IPL4, felt like there was already enough inundation happening in SC2 General.

Unfortunately it seems we find the dark side to the growth of eSports. As we gain legitimacy there will be those who try and take advantage of our naiveté in this field of international organization. We will suffer from their corruption, their greed, but we will suffer these blows with more resolve than they could have fathomed and we will remain on top. eSports will not fail, despite detritus like AZK and their management.

eSports forever, thank you for doing your part to grow it Dox, you have my axe in all future endeavors.

I was pretty disheartened as soon as I heard the event was being associated with IPL4. I knew it was sketchy and probably didn't do enough to advise people against it, thinking it wasn't really my call.

Just looking at the groups you can see the extreme bias that AZK have showed towards their own players and against fellow Filipino players who are not part of AZK. I especially feel for EnDerr, BlaZeR and JaBiTo as three of the best and truly talented Filipino players who were on the wrong end of discrimination/racism just because they are non-AZK given very tough groups. Really kills my motivation to host events when events like this are allowed to run after I try to put so much effort into running fair events.

This is so sad .

I also think this link is worthwhile to mention:
http://www.teamliquid.net/blogs/viewblog.php?topic_id=283600
and especially this quote:
"Seeing our friends at AZK working hard to put everything under control while their "leaders" was nowhere to be seen from morning 'till afternoon was painful. Torch took over management during the chaos."

Really wish I knew how to hack websites right about now. Just sayin'. This is so disgraceful. Especially the HoN tournament, you can go to their website now, and it is still being advertised for 7th of November lol.

AZK is a disgrace to E-sports. I hope their team and players are blacklisted from any tournaments.

Not to mention they charged a bunch of people ~$12 for a VIP pass grating benefits, but didn't deliver any except for the "Razer goody bag".

This event was never meant to be a fair tournament, but a shameless act of self promotion and monetary gain.

I'm sorry to off topic, but can anyone point me to the link regarding the violet thingy?

Now, going on-topic, big props to Dox for going public with this and showing how shady and unprofessional Team AZK is. Yes, I'm from the Philippines and nothing hurts me more than reading about this epic failure that is the PPSL. It has set back Philippine eSports back a lot, and I hope it had not hurt SEA eSports. I was very hopeful when the PPSL was announced, now, I could only facepalm in shame.

I'm somewhat thankful that Philippine eSports is in the dumps right now. The Pinoys now have to work a bazillion times harder to regain the trust of the international community before any event can be done in Manila. Although it was a bad spotlight on the Phillipines, at least the world knows that our country just does not have the infrastructure to hold such a big event as the PPSL. Malaysia and Singapore should be the top of the list.

Hope we hear from Team AZK soon.

Ugh... I remember AZK from the whole "we got violet" thing... and that never materialized.. I think that thread got moved into the moderator section

I feel bad for everybody that got screwed... AZK better come out and say something cause there's a lot of angry stuff right now
Remember, no matter where you go, there you are.

There's no real link and there wasn't anything about the Violet thing.

Just that one time an AZK staff posted on the AZK forums that Violet had joined their team (when he was still in MVP). There was sort of a denial by Violet on Twitter. Leading many to believe it was a hoax.

Later Violet left MVP, for study and health (I think) reasons, and was teamless throughout his brief remaining stint in Code A.

He suddenly reappears at IPL3 as an AZK representative (with the jacket and stuff).

There wasn't really much of a public issue to it really.

I hope AZK witchdoc gets crucified for his corruption

what a disgusting human being, disrespecting esports, sc2, korean players, YYJ, and the SEA scene.

I hope he is sued and blacklisted forever.

I tried linking to the TL thread, but it seems to have been moved to a private forum. A lot of the AZK / PPSL threads seem to have disappeared, actually.

He ONLY represented AZK during IPL3 because they flew him over for it.
