I mean come on, she's on the same team as Gus, refuses to release any information awaiting a statement by Gus (nearly 10 days after the event), etc. Surely this smells a bit funky? I didnt even think about that. Good point and it should be addressed. Not to make the situation worse but if i was with a team that did some shit like this i would of made a statement saying I wouldn't be apart of the team anymore. And so far I havent seen a single statement from amanda. | ||

It's IGN's right to do what they want, but it doesn't mean that I'm going to sit back and listen to IGN complain that they can't afford 0.0007% of their profits and need the help of (mostly) young people and college students to chip in. I wish I had .0007% of IGN's net profit from 2011 to use for IPL event planning -- cause then the community would get Michael Bay level special effects with Christopher Nolan level production and a generous prize pool (and split) that would make Opera Winfrey look like Scrooge McDuck. | ||

I remember seeing someone post 4450$ ~ around that figure quite a few pages back. What happens to the leftover donations that go beyond what you need? Amanda's money is fully recouped. The entire tournament is down another $11,000. Any surplus money will go to those affected other than Amanda. At least that's what has been stated. If they continue to have extra, I hope they will refund it to those who donated in some equitable fashion. | ||

The money being raised for Amanda is to cover the minimum cost of keeping her out of jail and bankruptcy. If more money is raised, it will go towards the other outstanding costs that still are unpaid from the PPSL event. | ||

I am not sure if I should donate because if they already have $5000 my money is going elsewhere than to help Amanda. Which is what they are advertising. edit: NVM thanks to the posts above. | ||

So yes Gus and Team AZK as an organization is responsible for debts that got run up in the event. The IPL on the other hand is responsible for trusting him to run things smoothly. The IPL, took a step further and organized a charity drive, despite them not having to do so. Honestly it's that simple. It doesn't matter how deep IGN's pockets are. Their deal was described pretty well in the first two posts by Alex. So unless you have access to information we don't have, all you're saying is that a guy/corporation with lots of money has to be the one to shoulder the extra expenses because... they have lots of money. | ||

I appreciate the cause, but this is setting a very strange precedent that I can't agree with.[/QUOTE] Bad fucking taste, you are mocking the people who are donating by saying this..[/QUOTE] So what? People can do what they like, but bailing someone out of a bad business decision isn't the role of the community. I would call the people that donated foolish. The fact that IGN is promoting this stream leaves a bad taste in my mouth too. It feels like they are shrugging off responsibility. If this was something organic from the community I would feel a bit better about it. It isn't anything person with Amanda, but she is in business. Do business properly or pay the consequences.[/QUOTE] Well, IPL actually used their own stream and their own casters and tech crew for this whole night's show, and will give up all of the revenue they get for this day of streaming. They are streaming replays from games that originally would have been streamed on the two days of the PPSL event, that they will never get the revenue from. So you could see it as them not really promoting a special charity stream, but only that paypal button on their page.[/QUOTE] I think that is really good of them, they should be commended for that. I just don't like the fact they are asking the community to subsidize what I feel is an issue of business.[/QUOTE] There are ways, people just rather opt out as it attracts undue attention from the government with taxes and all that. So people would rather do it without a paper trail to back up claims. You just wish that sometimes, people weigh the risk of not going the legal route against the risk of not doing it without legally protecting your own person/company. But hey, what can you do really. It a done deal, it happened. We just hope with the days passing, we can a clearer picture as a community as to what transpired between all relevant parties. Dox has aired his side, some players have, TGR has, threehundred also has some. But it still is not the whole picture but just fragments. Majority of the big picture will come from the rest of Team AZK associated with Gus' actions who are also victims in certain sense. Wish they just quickly clear up the air as to what is what (Especially the hand the others played in the PPSL event/fiasco) Silence in this is not a good thing on the part of Team AZK. Just saying. | ||
