Like this page, we will bring this Gus person along with his Azk conspirators down!

Dude, I don't think liking a facebook page will help much, it'll just add to the hate.

Very well spoken. Thank you for raising the bar and making eSports better for everyone. IPL has always had great production value. I appriciate that they're doing whatever they can to support the community. Like Tastosis says, Techonlogy is the vehicle of eSports, and sometimes that vehicle breaks down. It is one of the PPSLs first large scale events (we're they in a shopping mall?), so it's not suprising that there were some logistical mishaps. Hopefully they can push on and have many more great events. I'm still watching both the PPSL and IGN/PL cause I LOVE STARCRAFT! and Tastosis.

Thanks to everyone at IPL for trying their best to make this event happen despite AZK being a completely corrupt joke of an organisation. You did the right thing by removing your support from the event and denying them the exposure they would have gained through your channels. I hope this lesson teaches everyone to be more careful when setting up tournaments.

Big respect to IPL. The kind of standard they and other great organisers are setting in eSports should be practiced more often. You can tell they care about eSports as a whole and recognise that it has a symbiotic relationship with their business model. That aside, you can tell the people behind it have a real passion.

I also think it's great that shabby organisations get called out, so that they can either get their act together or get off the scene.

I'm looking forward to seeing you cast the replays soon enough, with good production quality. I'm guessing we wont see blunders like this in the future.

Good to know you take care of the issue. It's sad though, so many negative things happened recently. I hope that with such approach as presented here (and partially by Carmac in payments thread), everything will turn out well for esports.

Apparently AZK made a thread on TL (now moved to a private forum) about acquiring Team MVP's captain viOlet, and early registrations for IPL 4 Pacific Qualifiers had him listed as AZKviOlet. There was also an announcement of this on GosuGamers from AZK.

I play sc2 nearly everyday. I am a fan of esports, and I support my favourite Terran players with passion and pride. I watch and admire the international famous players, but as an Australian, I respect and look up to our home grown talent. Yoon YJ is one of my favourite players.
I am discusted at this news however it is clear that the community is as well and it will not be tollerated. Some have said Yoon deserves another chance, which he does, however, I believe great players can't be stopped. Yoon YJ will be back, because despite being a gentlemen and a genuinely nice bloke, he rocks at Starcraft II.

Respect brother

I think it means in Philipine Currency which is purportedly Pesos and it comes out to something like 100,000P= 2300 US$

As for the 2300 US for the HON Tournament.... who knows what Gus Did with it...

Unnecessary drama that could have been simple miscommunication between two parties. Or something similar. In light of recent events though, I doubt that was the case.

People need to chill out if everything isn't perfect. Yes e-sports is growing etc, things should improve etc, but that doesn't mean we should rage about imperfections overnight. Some decent players were there and stream was watchable? That's me happy.

Cheers for owning up and taking responsibility. Pretty annoying what the PPSL pulled here.

Much respect to IPL for pulling PPSL out.

Your happy because you probably don't care for the growth of esports, and you probably don't care for the players either. Contracts were broken and also Hon teams flew over there to find out there was no Hon tournament, sponsors put in a lot of money for a failed event.. Things like this hurt e sports because it make sponsors think twice about putting money into events such as these.
