Going to quote, a very long post from the CEO himself

Hi all,
There are few points which we would like to clear:

1. IGC was our first event.
2. There were many fiascos related to our event but still we pulled it off.
3. We tried our best but couldn't get any sponsorship. Later we found out that whichever company we approached closed the deal because few other prominent figures of the Gaming Industry came behind us to spoil the curry. (Fact told by people from Sony & Nvidia). However, even without sponsors we continued with the event and pulled it off, though not in an expected fashion.
4. For all those people who wonder why we were underprepared, ask all the ex-employees, who turned all our vendors against us at the very last moment. Still we arranged for all the infrastructure at the last moment. Not to worry guys, all the vendors are getting sued too!
4. After the first day problems, even the biggest event company on this earth would have called it off. But we stood firm and decided to pull it off even if that meant having a bad face in public.
5. We distributed all on-spot prizes, Tablets (almost 20) and innumerable CDs and many goodie bags. This clarifies, that we never had any kind of escaping intentions.
6. Many of you and few of our ex-employees thought not to support us, even if that meant supporting the biggest e-sporting event of India. We did our share of mistakes, but then were you guys there to support us or to help us in putting a better show?
7. As far as the fake Bank Guarantee is concerned which is doing the rounds on Internet, i would like to assure you that its not from us at all. Whosoever involved, will be punished according to Indian Law. Even M5 is on its way to be sued for their lies and misconduct.
8. As far as the prize money distribution is concerned, we would like to re-assure all the winners that their payment will be made. Disbursement of Prize money takes time as their are various Governmental procedures involved. Just a curious question, did you ever know that even KBC took around 90-120 days to disburse their prize money?
9. For all the ex-employees and people who tried their best to sabotage our image, be prepared. We have the list and we are suing you all.

For all the genuine supporters, we thank you from the bottom of our heart for your support in our valiant effort of putting up a better show.

Regards,
Kushagra

Yeah...well...whatever happened there I hope doesn't happen again. You can't ask for 8mil title sponsorship and give players and teams what they feel was unjustified. It just tears into the credibility not to mention it sure is going to make it hard to get sponsors for any future events you wish to hold. Whether or not it was a scam from the beginning though, it was obviously poorly organized by amateurs.

It just sounds weird all together. We will wait and see about the payout in the future. At least they didn't leave people holding thousands of dollars in hotel bills this time. LoL.

It is sad when things don't work out right and I hope to see a great event in India some day in the future. This though, was not it.

Wow... looks like some black sheep did the indian scene just a huge disservice. One can only hope the people involved will be held responsible.

Not sure, but he has not posted since all that shit has gone down, at least not on his main account. I hope he has just decided to disappear.

Haha, good luck trying. In the end, he didn't pull back his offer to pay for flight and stay, and M5 did not recieve the money. So how are they lying? Ha.

Yeah, this is just sad. Who do we believe, the pro team with sponsors and a reputation or...well...WTF Eventz who no one has ever heard of. I am sorry to the teams and players involved in the mess.

They should go to prison! I mean they made a lot of promises and most of them were not kept. False advertisement is a crime and breach of contract another criminal offense. If they don't go to prison a fine would be in order or something at least. The gamers of India and western pro teams shouldn't have to put of with quackery like this.

i'd imagine it would be pretty hard to pursue legal matters in India, the same as the problem with Philipiness and the ''Gus'' incident.

Yeah, this is why if I were a team I would not attend an event like this without 100% knowledge of other prominent sponsors and whatnot. At least Gus had that IPL deal going on for people to buy in to.

It's highly unlikely that they will get real justice in India. It's a well-known fact that if you are rich (or have connections with some powerful people) then you will very likely to get justice in India.

"4. For all those people who wonder why we were underprepared, ask all the ex-employees, who turned all our vendors against us at the very last moment. Still we arranged for all the infrastructure at the last moment. Not to worry guys, all the vendors are getting sued too!"
Just this part proves that the progamers are telling the truth, why on earth would ex-employees go out of their way to do something like this? They would either hold a REALLY big grudge or be correct.
A game where the first thing you do is scout with a “worker”. Does that make any sense? Who scouts with a “worker”? That’s like sending out the janitor to perform recon, what general would do that? Retarded game.

IGC seems to be completely and absolutely disgraceful.

I read ddd1ms blog entry, and noticed that he had the receipt for the hotel photocopied and posted. Since they were staying at a Hilton brand, I'd advise him to contact Hilton customer service as soon as possible to get compensation and resolve the hotel robbing crap at least.

I used to work at HH (Hilton HHonors) customer service in Sweden a few years back, and if something like this would have hit the web, all hell would break loose. I couldn't navigate to a proper email adress as I don't know russian, but perhaps someone can give him this tip at least, if he hasn't contaced them already?

Reputation is _everything_ for hotel brands, and this shit will not stand if you make a bit of noise.

Was this a tournament where people had to pay before entering the tournament? That's usually a scam, right?
Did they all conspire to do this? ( the employees ) or only a select few?
