ok so its pretty obvious they have no intention of giving us these vods and replays anytime soon. i talked to frodan and he said the guy in charge of this is AdamaSAGA so if you care about this tournament and you want these replays and vods go ahead and msg him... as many times as it takes....

If they're not going to cast finals, I hope they at least paid the winners of this tourney as that would be much worse if they didn't pay.

Is there any specific reason as to why we still haven't seen anything after almost a month of waiting? I really don't understand...can anyone be THAT busy? I mean, it's not like you guys haven't already casted almost all of the tournament...just two more series to go, and they are the two most important ones as well.

The situation is pretty saddening. This tournament was hyped when it first started by various high ranking community members and to see it fall apart so close to the end is really bad. Is there no organization in charge ? Sponsors?

Shit I got asked to obs that final, I wish I had now so I could give you guys the replays.

>.<

I can't believe this tournament stalled at the finals. It's like the easiest part...... Plus it was a really good tourney...

Edit: Just fyi, AdamaSAGA is chilling in channel "SAGA" on B.net NA right now

Edit: Talked to some SAGA players. I guess the manager has had "family issues" and thus the no updates. But the kind of family issues where he's too busy to update the thread but not too busy to idle on b.net and take care of his team still.

Man this feel like the organizer doing this on purpose so they don't have to give players the prize.

This is probably the most failed tournament in SC2 history so far. And it had a lot of potential, too.

You have obviously never heard of the Global Games Invitational and Global Gamers Invitational Part 2

To clarify, top 3 players have already been paid. Since it seems there are complications, I'll upload the replays and let Adama focus on other things.

Finals were recorded with Cats a while back as well (early June). Literally, the only thing that has to happen is the broadcast itself. I wish there was something that could be done about this situation, but I can't just go and do it without the green light.

Also, on top of family issues there were a few changes in administration. Mainly, the leader of the clan stepped down and gave Adama the entire control of the clan during the middle of the tournament. The transition hasn't been exactly the smoothest since we have been trying to manage everything to the best of our ability. I'm deeply sorry about this and I understand everyone's frustration. I too have been frustrated with the situation as well.

As promised, here are the replays of [what should be] everything until the finals.

As for the VODs, my internet upload speed at my summer house is total farce and that will take time. We will earnestly do our best to put out the finals broadcast ASAP.

Cool, glad to see everything moving again
