I'd like to see the money get returned to S2, and for AZK to never see the light of E-sports again... He put himself above the community, and forever ruined the name of his clan, I feel bad for any decent members in his clan... What a waste.

Imagine a pro sc2 team with koreans based in Brazil...EVEN SKETCHIER. LOL.

I don't see the sketchiness, enlighten me. The Philippines have legit dota teams and a growing E-sports scene. Gus is sketchy, don't generalize.

really wonder what is going to happen to the players. and Sickness. doesn't seem like it's their fault at all, but with the azk clan name stuck to them during this time, no matter how brief, their personal reputation would have taken a huge hit.

As of now, Only SC2 can chase Gus for the money. For the other sponsors? It is up to them to make an investigation and prove that their sponsorship money were in fact used for other things...lets say personal gain? It is really an effed up world the thing about events organizing where the head can get away with so much and the fans will suffer for it.

This sucks, I hope everyone who was fucked over by this gets some sort of compensation, if not at least take it as a good learning experience. I think it's fair to say that Gus and team AZK won't be taken seriously ever again whilst trying to run an esports tournament.

That was people just typing message deleted....

Granted it ended up like that but it started with them banning pretty much anyone who said anything. Ironically, I got a 10 min ban for saying "people are just typing in <message deleted>".

Just to let you guys have an insight on what's happening here.

The ones apologizing (in the pinoy forums) for this tragedy are the azk MEMBERS. I can't seem to find a post or even a comment from Gus. We really empathize with the members because they did Gus' dirty job VOLUNTARILY/WHOLE-HEARTEDLY thinking that this would be a breakout for Philippine Esports (Gus' plans were not discussed with the members, he kept it to himself.) but apparently, their efforts were wasted. Not all AZK members are bad people, some of them really tried to promote Esports in their own little way. Some of them were just dragged into this mess, and some didn't even want to participate.

One man fvcked up, many suffered. Now I wonder how long will it take for him to have the guts to atleast explain this himself.

End of the day, it goes to show you really need experienced project managers and leaders. Not anyone can pull off an event, despite well-meaning (in this case its less certain) intentions.

I remember how this was awkward about AZK and viOlet a while ago. Not surprising how badly this thing turned out.

Not only that man, they might be contractually bound to AZK. Meaning they won't be able to quit the team now even if they want to.

A conman in the Philippines with a little bit of cash usually just gets away with stuff like this. I think its up to the community to sanction them, as any legal action wouldn't be processed in time in this country before Starcraft 20 is released.

the worst part about all this is, Gus will just go into hiding and within a certain period of time, all this will be forgotten and swept away. He'll just start up a new clan name and repeat this travesty all over again.

Not that it's any consolation, but 5/5. I'd definitely refer anyone to this post for probably the best summary of the entire situation

If a player really doesn't want to play for your team, there's nothing you can do, to be honest. I think the ones who want to get out will be fine.
