Too late, and most people have already probably volunteered some $ towards MVP.

Whilst waiting for a response with more information on the event (ie. timezones, when matches would be played, costs), the qualifier sign-up closed and we missed out on trying to qualify. It was pretty disappointing to be honest. | ||

It's not going to make anything bigger but if it makes you feel better then its ok with me  LOL such a troll You're choosing to leave the discussion because you have nothing important or useful to add, and you try to hide it by throwing around random statements to try and piss people off. It's also better for you to leave now then get your ass totally destroyed if you try to engage in an actual discussion. Just pointing out the obvious here. | ||

You know, I was debating lobbing some mild criticism at the flame magnet of a title Genna made, but that was done before reading the blog, and, more importantly, before skimming through that thread you mentioned. Read a little bit of JimmiC's comments, too. I gotta admit, that was an ouch moment. Hit me right in the faith for humanity. Mild tangent, but Genna, your PR skills are amazing. When you say things you strike a perfect balance between humility, aggression, logic and openess. I could probably blab on for a while about why what you're doing is so hard, but I should probably just leave it at "You're amazing" so I don't scare off all the forum-goers with a pointless wall of text. | ||

D) Humans make mistakes. We cannot replicate our process 100% accurately. It will be sad, but life is life. | ||

Both make valid points and can't see a reason to single out someone to blame. Maybe next time | ||

However, I don't think Axiom deserves any money from us/me, simply because TotalBiscuit fired shots at MVP and basically called them beggars. | ||

I know laying out details like this probably only brings more pitchforks, but for me personally, it shows a great deal of respect. Thanks again. Edit: Oh yeah, and what happened to Crank? Wrists? | ||

However, my opinion (based on following different eSports scenes for more than a decade, and even attempted at running my own team), is that it is not reasonable to assume that travel expenses to an event you're invited to will be covered by the organisers, unless they explicitly state so. The fact that 'all other team leagues in SC2 do so' is irrelevant considering that there were basically no offline team leagues outside of Korea, and to my knowledge, most European events do not pay for players to fly over to their tournaments. TaKeTV should have sent out that mailshot, but if it was already stated in a Skype conversation with all the team managers, if was included in TaKe's Press Release about the offline finals, and if the other team managers, and all of us spectators were aware of it, you should have been too. I don't blame you for taking the decision that you did when you became aware of the circumstances, but I do believe it was avoidable by not assuming that all travel will be paid for, especially when it is not being organised by a huge company like IGN, MLG or ESL. Eitherway, I'm happy to see Millenium attending, and I wish you all the best for GSTL. | ||

I believe in that the team sponsor has to pay the trips. Fair for all. | ||
