Pretty disappointed it happened in the first place, but overall really happy that IGN (IPL) had the balls to admit their wrongdoing and let us know what had happened from their point of view and assure us that it won't happen again.

+1 in my books, gj IPL.

im sure after this disaster IGN will insist on flying out a few key production members to oversee any other "sponsored" qualifiers.

What actions are you going to take to investigate the fraudulent use of IPL's sponsor money by the admin when he used the money to send his own guy instead of the proper player?

Are you going to take any action if said player wins a spot at IPL 4, considering it would be IPL that will pick up the tab to fly him there compounding the misdeed even more.


i think this issue may solve itself as its very unlikely said player will win

Props IPL... Props. I wasn't watching the PPSL, but this kind of response is incredible to see from an organization. Way to step it up.

Typically you just wouldn't even see an explanation. People are appreciating the fact that someone from IGN actually cared enough to release information in regards to a fiasco of an event.

Other tournaments needs to take notes from IPL on their quick response time to a crisis.

Sad to see what happened but I'm glad IPL is making this step. I hope this does not discourage you from branching out for partners in the future.

A lesson learned, but one they can walk away from knowing they did their best and they made sure to inform the fans about what was happening. Very responsible, I'm finally coming around to IGN as a whole, they've began to earn my respect more and more with these great advances. Keep it up and maybe you'll make my front page permanently
HA! You can only kill idiots and slow moving vehicles with lazers!!! ... FUCK!!!!!!!!!

This is the first I've heard about it and sounds completely respectable from your end. MLG sent out their head of operations to the CSL event that they sponsored (very low sponsorship but I believe they helped connect them with NOS and to put their name on the product to legitimize it) and I've heard great things from that.

I really liked hearing how seriously you realize now putting your name on an event and how concerned you need to be about All the event that your brand is on. I'm sure that this won't happen again and its a great lesson to learn early then one to learn in a year or more from now.

Can someone offer a brief synopsis of the shenanigans that occurred? I haven't been paying enough attention.

In any case, IPL is always respectable and it takes class to apologize. Kudos.

What I saw of the event didn't seem that bad, but the apology is appreciated. It's very encouraging to see this level of transparency in a larger organization, definitely a good sign of things to come!

No, that would be bad business practice. What IGN did for the first part was a standard response. But more than that, props to them for taking the blame. In that I disagree with Clank, as good practice is to look at own faults first. And that is what IGN did in the other part of their statement.

PPSL was horrible, a lot of delays, even sending the players to a PC Cafe because It was just so bad. They did their matches there.

I didn't watch (I wasn't even aware of) the event, but this is a much better apology than the ones we've seen from other people on TL forums.
