EPTIt was kind of awkward hearing tastosis going "LETS HEAR SOME NOISE FOR ___________" and then complete silence following for the next 5 seconds.
Whether that's the case or not, StarcraftII scene seems extremely underdeveloped in Phillipines.

Please stop with all the "PH has underdeveloped esports" BS as it insults the hard work other eSports organizations have put in. We have an eSports scene here and it's great. | ||

Then what happened over there? Holding the event at a small corner in the mall, having massive delays, low stream and audio quality. maybe its not under developed but its definitely not up to par with the rest of the world. | ||

Please understand, AZK does not represent the whole of the Philippine eSports Community. There are other organizations that try, and do their best to give wonderful events. And these things have been done. It's just that one man managed to fuck up everything. BTW, I was there in the crowd, it was pretty lively, you can ask the casters and emcees. | ||

It's at the center of the Mall. It looks like that because the area behind it is being renovated because a big part of it was caught in a huge explosion 2 years ago. | ||

I hope people would understand that the Philippine Starcraft Community is pretty fragmented. Most of us play because we played Broodwar. There's no national league and the internet cafes that have Starcraft are few and far in between. This event could've been really good for the community(and if i didn't have to go to work, i would have been there too), but because someone decided to be incredibly greedy and/or incompetent (from what I gather), it all just got messed up. I know that the international community does not think much of the Philippines in terms of e-sport potential if at all, and rarely does it show up in TL aside from the occasional Manny Pacquiao or national disaster thread, but we are here and appreciate this game just as much as the next guy. I am just really disappointed about how PPSL was managed. It could have been really good. But no. Now every time a Philippine event would be held, we would be reminded of this fiasco, and comparisons will be made. IPL are such a great events and I always tune in whenever I can. From what I understand, David Ting made a lot of things happen and I suppose took a calculated risk when IPL took on this PPSL held in Manila. I do not know David Ting personally and perhaps, never will; but I respect him a lot for what he has done for the game that I so enjoy. From where I am right now, I can only hope that the people who were immediately directly affected. I have stopped playing for a while, relegated myself to the reddit habit of just watching games, but after all this has happened; I feel motivated to play and organize local events again. GLHF as always. | ||

Starcraft 2 scene is quite huge here in the Philippines. There was no Mic for the crowd so the stream can't hear us scream. Not our fault. We were even chanting "mkp, mkp" and so on. | ||

They didnt have a microphone in the crowd and people take that microphone for granted. | ||

I feel bad for sea, and while I want back those precious moments of my life wasted on sub-par quality, personality, and professionalism I know that crying about it won't bring them back. So I'll give IPL the benefit of a doubt this time. I like the wording in the actual statement itself, it wasn't some half-ass apology. They recognize the event was awful for many of the players/teams involved along with the stream audience. There is competition out there from various other parties, it's actually kind of crazy to think about. tldr, event = bad for esports. IPL = good for esports. | ||

 In all seriousness, there were a good many people negatively effected by any and all of this, and while one person is more to blame than others, I don't see azk players coming to the forums shedding tears of blood for being part of this BS. Of course they were cooperative- they got seated amongst the best of the best in a tournament rigged for them in which they hoped to secure more known players for themselves through it all. This is serious, people could be going to jail. The fans obviously aren't to blame but get real. Shouldn't SEA be the most upset over this in terms of region? | ||

Really appreciate you: Trying this tournament at all. Actually pulling the plug because of the problems. Not pulling funding (not screwing the players). Telling us the truth. A promise to try to make it up by recasting. | ||

Even the team based from there is so sketchy. Events needs to be hosted at reliable countries with more legitimacy. Mineski held an eSports event just a week prior that went quite well (WCG PH 2011). They should have been the ones who organized this. | ||

Other people were fed false information and couldn't attend due to no fault of their own, in addition to having to basically beg for said info, which in turn opened space for the host party to add more of their own fold into the bracket, a hard decision to make (I'm sure). The stream quality was awful, especially day 1, and we had airheads casting when we were promised tastosis. to clarify, no hon player flew in. it was strictly advertised locally. duskbin, however, has a hon team based in PH and they're pretty pissed. | ||

The complete silence on the part of AZK is deafening and speaks for itself. IGN should seriously consider banning all players on the team who were at the event and all future members of the team as well from IPL events. | ||
