DisclaimerI understand that there is a lot of frustration which revolves around me and I accept full responsibility for any uncompleted works and bad manner which I may have presented in the past. I do not expect that this be taken extraordinarily seriously, because evidently, I deserve some flak for certain actions which were taken.
This post is being made primarily because I discussed with some people with whom I am in contact within the Brood War community and we came to an understanding that it would probably be best if I introduced my intent on doing some small projects here and there before actually posting the project itself. This is for several reasons, so that more of the issues are resolved here as opposed to littering a tournament thread.
I don't expect anyone to fully appreciate the person, all I ask is that you focus on the product, I will put on some Brood War for you guys and I hope that is simply enough and we can otherwise go on with minimal association between that product and myself.
This is a presentation post to let you guys know that I will be active on a part time bases in certain projects with players and team leaders to bring you more Brood War. I will not be running anything big and I will not be operating in the realm of aesthetics (simply due to time restrictions). The focus of the time I spend on Brood War will be on providing tournaments and Brood War streams for those tournaments.
I have obtained sponsorship for a mini-series of three events and will be posting a thread about it after the thread has passed through an auditing process. This should be early in the week. For credibility reasons, this mini-series had to be invite only, I will try to do something with more players in the future, but in this scenario, that doesn't seem possible. Understand the restrictions on this as I can't ask people to go for an open sign up, quite simply, the event would not happen or would be restricted to a similar player pool anyway.
I hope that you guys don't all want to kill me, I know some of you do, but I will do everything within my power to not step on your toes.
Penny for your thoughts?
P.S. I would like to thank Teamliquid for allowing me to post this, in consideration for them, I will keep my posting to a minimal and strictly on event related stuff until further time where my reputation is improved.
Final Note: I still don't have a caster for the games which are accounted for in the mini-series event, if anyone wants to help out, please send me a private message on TL. We will work on your schedule for casting, no time has been set as of yet.
You got a lot of hate in the past for way over promising, but nobody can deny that if it weren't for you the scene would be way more inactive if it weren't for you.
So if you manage to actually run something with realistic expectations...
Sayle was probably the biggest contributor to keep bw going after sc2 went live, alot of those tournaments were ran buy you. And you should be proud of that.
So I heard that MTG cards fetch a good price, I don't suppose you have the Power Nine and plan on elaborating on your scheme of selling them to fund a massive LAN?
If you actually host or organize tournaments, give prize money, or contribute in any substantial way, then that speaks for itself. So go for it. All of us will appreciate it.

Sorry but that's not correct. Sayle was already casting and this was the time when people were more active. There had already been a Gambit Cup season 1 which was ran much more smoothly than when Eywa came along. Eywa then became exceedingly arrogant for no reason (since he didn't run a particularly good league and he had many excuses/reasons for under performing instead of just not promising stuff he couldn't live up to). Ultimately people who knew his true nature didn't even waste time when he announced "the biggest foreign tour of all time" which crashed and burned.
Very curious who would accept an "invite-only" tour unless the money was upfront to a third party, not handled by Eywa or there was some actual credibility to this claim, once again by another party.

He offered TL to hold the prize pool to increase the legitimacy of the tournament.
Also, we desperately need more foreign BW events and yet most people are still being bitter and negative all the time. I don't get it.
