coming from Manila (Philippines) I was sad to see the crowd during the stream. Tasteless and Artosis were doing the best that they can but the audience seemed boring. When they requested a cheer you hear nothing. When the camera guys pan to the audience you see only a handful. Im sad cause I though e-Sports was big here in Manila. Guess I was wrong.
It is big in Manila, my relatives down there love E-sports. However, if you were there and had to wait 6 hours for the first game, you'd be annoyed too. We were streaming it -- more free time to do whatever at home.
This tournament had an AWESOME set of players -- I only wish the Philippines got a better organized tournament as there are lots of dedicated fans there and even seeing as many as I did after waiting 6 hours was something.

So basically without any research you guys sponsored this event because you would get a bunch of money. Then it backwashed and you "took responsibility" by saying all the issues were related to them. A really bad mistake but at least you wrote an apology.
In my opinion IPL did the right thing. It probably was not "for money" but to get more exposure to the eSports community in that area. The issues were the PPSL's fault because IPL did not have any staff at the event.

I would like to know if PPSL approached IPL or IPL approached PPSL. Afaik, this PPSL event was supposedly just a local tournament that later became IPL4.

Props to IGN/IPL for taking eSports in a mature direction (prolly should have done their due diligence first however) - I hope we don't see this kind travesty happen again.

After watching Breaking Bad I have learnt not to trust anyone named Gus.
|
its good to see that u guys are planning to cast a few of the games but hopefully ull release all the replays aswell
|
IPL showing every other tournament how it's done. Assuming responsibility in a way that leaves no lingering doubts nor questions.
The overwhelmingly positive community response is appropriate.
That said, it's still a tournament with Tastosis casting the likes of Sen, Sase, Nani, Moon, MC, Inca, MKP, Fruitdealer and Check. I want to watch this somehow.
|
Nice to see that IPL cares about their fans. That can be hard to find at times with events regarding e-sports.
|
And this is why I think that IGN really knows how to be a good company, not just a tourament.
Props to you Alex, you responded well, and to what I know honestly.
|
i wont lie. when i logged in it sucked pretty hard.
|
Who is this Gus guy? Does he ever respond?

IIRC he wasn't even at the live event venue.

Massive props to IPL for their reaction. They have a strong reputation and it continues to be well deserved.
I feel really bad for Tastosis, their name is a total draw card and they shouldn't be put through that rubbish.
I feel most for YoonYJ, his response is really clear and unemotional. He is a credit to eSports.
Whilst PPSLs disorganisation was unfortunate, it's the deceptive actions of Gus (AZK.WitchDoc) Ledesma which anger me the most. It's people like that who hold eSports back.
I'd love to see a response. I really would.
|
What happened to YoonYJ is a travesty and is something that should never be repeated.
We as a community need to do everything we can to stop this kind of thing from happening again, or e-sports will suffer.

Philippine Pro Star League...
It's so bad because it seemed like they were unprepared because of laziness.

Alex,
Received and well taken! For you to publicly apologize the way you did not only says a lot about IPL, it says a lot about you. Well played! IPL is officially my new favorite tournament. Everything you've done (this included) has been top notch!
Keep up the good work!
|
still want to watch it tho, when and where will it be on today now?
|
It's so nice to see someone take responsibility for a mistake and then commit to doing better next time. I was impressed by how quickly you responded to pros pointing out that they hadn't been paid their IPL prize money in the "Progamers Don't Get Paid" thread by ClouD. Props, and I will definitely buy a ticket for the next IPL
