As I said in the OP, I have no intention of hiding or pretending I didn't do what happened before. The division of haters was created before most of the things which I knock myself for. Not that I can say I didn't play a part in that, the division of haters is as much a feat of mine as it is of theirs, I did not come back to make war with them. For a very brief and summarized history:

First event was a king of the hill which probably no one remembers hosted on iCCup with the help of the iCCup staff

I offered my services to LRM)Game in ISL1 for write ups and interviews at the semi-final level. - This is the point where Nina, Gecko and I became opposed... Just getting more severe over the ages because there was ultimatum offered from both sides, and I chose one over the other. There was unnecessary bm on both sides, worsening over the years.

I was interested in organizing and so, I partnered with Game to benefit from his skill set making the justin.tv king of the hill

Following the good reception of that, I created twitch.tv king of the hill

After that, joe kim was going to make a clan league, but didn't think it had enough steam to take off, so he abandoned the project. This was a project that I took on, beginning the first season of Gambit's Cup... 2 Other seasons would follow, increasing in prize pool, however, in terms of season, the order of quality was probably 3, 1, 2... The second season was a disaster due to length, there is no denying that. in terms of playoffs, the best season was 2, 3, 1 in my opinion however... which is unfortunate that I believe the best potential was lost.

In between Gambit's Cup 2 and 3 I also played a major organization role in Altitude Nation Wars.

Despite popular belief, I have done the majority of my work on my own, the development in skill of organization would be credited majorly to game, which in of itself is a huge time saver. Unfortunately, due to this association, I would also gain a lot of enemies because generally, teams thought that I favored LRM in clan events, which to be fair... I wanted them to win, which made me have to moderate them extra hard in most cases. This ended up creating a lot of enemies, including some on LRM itself because they were generally the ones feeling the stress.

Past this point, things get really rocky...

I started up several leagues simultaneously, which didn't work because I had no time to run them (Ladder league) and (European LAN). I met a ton of controversy and eventually (becoming my biggest mistake to the BW community) essentially told them to screw themselves.

After this, I went ahead and started the Liquid Pasture Community League which is a community Dota 2 league which was taken over by leloup (much thanks to him) at season 2 due to my inability to remain active. This is the only league which I built the foundation for remaining it is currently in season 4.

On July 17th, 2013... I requested to Heyoka to terminate my account.


I am a strong believer in that for my case, 80% of success is just showing up applies... Coming into the scene, I was a nobody with no experience in running anything, I learned what I could and when things worked out, people cheer, when they don't, people boo. The problem I had before was that there was no detachment, as you can see by what I have above + the fact that I used to play Brood War, Brood War was a lifestyle for me... My temperament got progressively worse to the point where I convinced people to do stuff for the sole sake of mocking them for it, one more famous than any others involving iCCup.

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.

Maybe someone can explain to me why Eywa seems to have some haters. I wasn't as involved in the scene back then although I do recall a blog from Nina challenging him and such way back. From what I understand, he made promises and couldn't keep them. That's all I'm getting from the posts above at least.
