Wow, interesting story. But, i dont get - what are hockey cards? Why people do buy them? Is it tradition in Canada?
Sad, that all this failed. Most ppl thought that Eywa was drawing dead from beginning. Really sad. I see that Eywa is a good guy, who wants to do good things, but spiritual immaturity ruined everything.

I really do respect Eywa for all he wanted to do.

But making announce w/o having money - is a sad way to go out.

Eywa, you have to hire a specialist, who would teach you how to build public relations/how to communicate w/ peoples.
This is not a fucking offense shot.

Really good advice. I wish you to solve your problems and return to the society, mr Eywa.

Given your history of bashing everyone who's ever tried to do something, I don't really care about anything you'd post. You're the type or person that causes people to want to stop working for BW. I've never heard of anyone who's had to deal with you and be like "oh, kiante is a delight"... Not from Nation Wars, not from anywhere. Bash Bash Bash and never try to do anything that would involve work or a risk.

Kiante ran the entire ThSL. He made it so that I, as a complete technophobe, just had to join a game and answer a Skype call.

The same is true of the Gem League.

As someone who has worked with him, I will honestly say that Kiante put in a ton of effort for both the original Gem League and the ThSL. With no expectation of a large audience, he woke up at six in the morning (again, to facilitate my not having to stay up too late). I was a total fucking primadonna and Kiante made everything work as well as he possibly could.

Then, as though that weren't enough, I very much made it the running joke of both of those tournaments that, when there was downtime, I would poke fun at Kiante for being boring, raging, antipodean, or having a speech impediment.

I've just been watching all of this unfold, and until now I think I've been pretty hands off because the truth is that I don't really know too much about tournaments or their operation. The reason I don't know too much about those things is because I never had to learn... because Kiante handled it all for me.

You can sit here and say anything you want, but allow me to be the first to say, whole heartedly, "Kiante is a delight to work with."

I'm sure Trozz and Torenhire would say the same thing.

It's unfortunate then that he's not able to be constructive with other major organizers then.

You have the nerve to call yourself a "major organizer?"

I'm not talking about myself, but more so anyone who's ever really hosted a league for top foreigners.

Well, yes, this sorry excuse of a tournament that you're trying to host is obviously not a "top foreigner" tournament, so what makes the host of "Eywa and friends' incoherent circus show" qualified to speak for anyone whose opinions we'd actually care about?

"Is Brood War worth it? Not for me, perhaps for someone else though."

I sincerely hope you get banned from this site. Since BW is no longer worth it for you, I'm sure you won't be too upset.

Yeah I don't know why he hasn't been removed yet. Just a shit storm of QQ and excuses, why did he talk himself up so much when he didn't have the organization or money? nobody will every know. MANY people tried to help and he refused it all.

They're collector items, same reason people collect lunch boxes, action figures, etc etc. It's more passion based than $ incentive, just turns out some of them are worth a lot to some people.

This is a thread in the BW section announcing that some guy thinks he can make 50k selling hockey cards? I don't even know what a hockey card is or what they do. Is this how Canadians gamble?

This really deserves to be made into a blog to get more publicity so I decided to go make a blog to increase the attention on this wonderful topic which you can find here. You can thank me later.

I told everyone that this would happen, it was very obvious. You are only doing the BW foreign scene so much more harm than good eywa, I will not be surprised if the ' invite only ' tournaments fall through too, so ridiculous man. Get over yourself and actually put in the time to try to help the scene, if you can't put in the time then just stop trying.

You are not omniscient and you are not a god or a figure head, you have to actually TRY and PUT IN WORK AND TIME to help the scene, people are not going to just bow down to you, but as I expected you got what was coming, and you deserve it all. Best of luck and God speed eywa.... wake up.

I honestly don't know what to say to you, besides the fact that I don't know what you've been using your time on TL for in the last two years. It's a shame that on the eve of your two year anniversary here on Teamliquid you have still yet to figure out some of this community's most common thread archetypes.
