Surprised there isn't a topic about the TPL situation yet!
Wether or not the allegations are true, gg.net (and more specifically their editor reinnnn) once again shows a complete lack of professionalism. That site is really getting worse by the day and I can't believe they still let that guy publish articles :/
So this TPL situation is really really strange. Apparently they did pay out prizemoney for their first 4 seasons (according to Mealk, who's one of the biggest Ange critics), which is quite a feat considering they had terrible viewer numbers and no sponsors. And after the fifth season, when they acquired the Norton sponsorship deal, sold a ton of ingame tickets, had way more stream viewers than last season and their reputation started to turn around, why would they decide to screw over everyone? I mean before all this went down there didn't seem to be any problems. Even Anuxi (who created the qop set) seemed perfectly fine with TPL, throughout the season she's been tweeting how she's watching the games, etc. Adn she even didn't get paid apparently.
All of this refuses to make any sense to me. Did Ange really get so greedy? You can't possibly be that stupid, come on..

Well it's pretty normal for the fifth season not to be paid by now. Many orgs take 3+ months, as long as it's in the terms or something to the contrary wasn't promised there's no problem there. It really seems like any legitimate claims are either about MYM, which is a separate story. or the item creators.
To be honest the whole item creation thing doesn't quite add up to me. It sounds like they had contracts with the item creators instead of doing it through Valve. I don't know why this would be a problem, for example if MLG want to make items and they have people on staff which can make those items, why would they give them a direct cut from ticket sales when they're employees? It's surely up to the tournaments to decide how they want to handle that, and unless Valve has policies against it, in which case they wouldn't have approved the tournament to begin with, there's no problem there either.
So it ultimately would come down to what TPL's contracts with item creators say. And we don't know that.

No, it doesn't make sense if you're paying everyone else to rip someone off for 1-2k and jeopardize what is seemingly a growing business.
And according to TPL: "He got paid 25% from the overall sales of the TPL Season 3. Its about $6,300."
So he was either not paid that at all, or TPL sold more than that. In which case it couldn't have been much more, so no, it doesn't add up.
Ange is a notorious asshole, but there's so much fucking misinformation out there right now from people who are just bitter.
Do i need to enter that command everytime i log in? those are awesome.
Put it in your autoexec
And this answers my questions about setting camera positions. So here is the real question, how can I get those coordinates if I want to set another camera position(say mid, or in a side lane)?

Trial and error that shit. Presumably 0,0 is about midlane centre more or less so go from there (As in, bust open console, copy + paste dota_camera_setpos and start typing in numbers. Everything after the decimal point is presumably quite irrelevant)
Nobody knows exactly where else you would want a bind since camera positioning varies somewhat from player to player.

I was hoping there was a way to see how it registered clicks on the map or something to work from. I guess trial and error is the way to go and figure it out from there. I don't need exact shit, just to quickly move the camera to one of the three lanes.

dota_camera_getpos isn't a valid command ? (just asking, I know nothing about source commands) If it works, and common programming sense tells me it should, should be the way to get your current position. Should even allow to bind on the fly with something like bind "f3" "dota_camera_setpos dota_camera_getpos"
