Such an epic failure of an event if there ever was one... sigh.... this is one of the main reasons why i made this thread I hyped this tourny up like crazy?

He's a freaking bane of eSports; both SC2 and HoN were screwed over because of him. | ||

People feel that he is guilty because it has already been proven conclusively that he is a negligent fool and liar. 1. He owes Clive and Amanda $12,900 (Confirmed by thegunrun, who has paid the $900 owed to Clive, and has also confirmed that Gus will not pay him back for it) 2. He owes a lot of event staff and KTSMedia money, and has not paid. (Refer to Clive case and KTSMedia employee John's Statement on Dox wall) 3. He owes Seltzer and Tastless money (According to Seltzer) 4. He scammed YJ of his place and owes him 1.6k (As shown by concrete screen shots posted by YJ and Dox) 5. He tried to bribe moonglade (As confirmed by moonglade) 6. Turned up for the event extremely late on the first day, and contributed little to make the event happen, following days included ( Testimony of thegunrun, Seltzer, various event staff involved. Everything above is FACT, not OPINION. 7. He cancelled 4 Cube Players Plane Tickets to the Event. (Coincidentally 2 of those 4 players were facing his own AZK Clan members (Gus is the Manager Clan Leader of AZK) in the tournament and therefore two AZK members got free by's in the Tourney because the CUBE players weren't flown to the event.) 8. He got 2k usd from S2 games (verified by S2 and mentioned of Lo3) for HoNslaught but it didn't materialize. 9. HoN players arrived for HoNslaught but the event was never held. We also don't know whether these players just drove down to the event venue or if some flew in. You forgot that the bracket for the championship matches were redrawn after the traditional seeding method put too many AZK members on one side of the bracket. The redrawing method involved picking names out of a hat... so much dirt/mud for one hand/person to hold... EDIT: i just complied all of them so pardon if i am not directly quoting the posts.. | ||

Let's think about it for a second. Why did he not want to fly YJY and the other dudes over? Err, maybe because he wants to steal YJY's spot and give it to someone he wants to? And the other dudes were facing AZK members, so why take the chance? Make up excuses so his team can receive walkovers. The money he owes to everyone was "probably" (that's why I hate to include this because I don't know where exactly he spent this money on, but neither do any of us really) spent on production, trying to make this event as big as possible so that he can boast about it later. So since I don't know WHY he did what he did, I'm not gonna accuse him of anything just yet. I do, however, have an opinion on his character, and it isn't very favorable (duh!) and explicit (#$%!), but I'm not gonna accuse him of anything just yet because I don't want to assume why he did what he did. My thoughts written above are just thoughts on the other side of a coin, they're not valid to be used as evidences to support any argument, which is why I'm not gonna use it. Rather, I want to sit back and wait for everything to unfold before I come to a conclusion. | ||

USD1600 is huge to a phillipino.. each flight that he stops and doesn't give to someone else .. each of those is like 3 months of pay. If he can deny ~4-6 flights it's like 20-40K to a developed country person. | ||

Wouldn't be surprised if another international level tournament is never held in the Phillipines ever again. | ||

Why would no tournament be held in the country again? | ||

Whatever I guess, I'm not here to convince them to change their mind. I'm just here to see how the story unfolds. | ||

But with your logic, the money still has to go somewhere, and from what I'm seeing right now, there's no money going anywhere. If he really didn't try to pocket some money, then money has to go show up by now, either payout for the staff, the media crews, the air tickets,.v..v..v.v All he showed us are apologies and some more lies about paying out this and that. Either way, being purposely scam or just being stupid, he's the one that has to take responsibility, and he may go to jail for that. You can't just say I'm sorry I messed up and let other people got into jail for you. | ||

Or even send them a text to reassure them how things are going and being handled. You know stuff like that is like Basic Decency 101. So yeah I'd say people have the right to be pissed off that we have someone like Gus ruining the community. People may say it in different ways, Gus is a sorry excuse of a criminal or an event planner, but really it's Gus being a sorry excuse for a human being. | ||

You can't just say I'm sorry I messed up and let other people got into jail for you. A tree fell in the forest, you didn't see it, so it must not have happened, right? He could have spent it on a million things related to this event production cost, etc. Just because we don't know how much he spent on what, doesn't mean that he's pocketing 100% of this money. Why can't you just wait for his side of the story regarding to how much money he received, where all that money went, before accusing him being a scammer? He may very well end up being exposed as a scammer, withholding a large chunk of that money, BUT WE DON'T KNOW THAT YET!!! What we do know, however, is the way he's carried himself so far. Yes, he's a douche bag, yes, he's a dick, yes, he's dumb... Anyone could see that. We all should just calm down and wait to see how the story unfolds. Raging isn't gonna help anybody, it only hurts your head :D | ||
