so basically IGN payed this guy a few thousand dollars to fly his friends out to see him (instead of deserving players) and party with tastosis?

business as usual? Nothing to see here folks, move along.


(kidding)

in all honesty, im hoping there will be a lawsuit against this shitbag.

The only possible point of this thread is to serve as a verbal lynch mob of the organizer. There's no reason this topic can't simply be brought up in a post in the other thread. Are you guys going to start a fund to help IPL hire a lawyer in the Phillipines? Also "damaging an entire scenes reputation" is the type of exaggeration that is typical of threads like this and only creates problems when it gets repeated enough. Not to mention the fact that we haven't even heard both sides of the story. Can you think of any other threads in recent memory where people were lambasting one party as guilty before hearing the other side, and then after hearing the other side switching opinions entirely? EG/TSL, Major/Sixjax perhaps?


I somewhat agree with you, specially after the EG/TSL fiasco, however this situation is different. These guys were given money to run an event and they bombed pretty hard. Even if you discount all of the allegations against them, the facts remain that they ran a terrible event and the cancellation(?) of the HoN tournament was never announced.

I like how you brought up the EG/TSL thing because even though they explained things in detail they took a long time to release any information, which in this high-speed information age is a pretty terrible idea. At the very least they should have apologized for the event and state that they a full press release is forthcoming.

*Also stop posting negative responses (referring to your original post) if you have nothing useful to contribute.

What reasons could he even possibly give to get out of this situation? Someone put a gun to his head and forced him to cancel sending YoonYJ and instead sending someone from AZK? His list of crimes are long and he has a history. There is absolutely no excuse and he's a hideous dirtbag. Anyone who defends him or befriends him risks being lumped together with him as a complete scumbag.

I would reserve those words for someone like Hitler... but you know, using them on a crappy tournament organizer is fine too, I guess!

Off topic but look at Artosis' face. Such a weird expression. As far as Gus goes, you can't blame the whole thing one one guy if nothing was organized at all. Everyone in the organization must take some of the responsibility.

He's a terrible tournament organizer, and a little corrupt. That's it.

That said, I'm sure people don't actually mean the crap they're saying here. They're simply pissed that their favorite player/caster/tournament was treated badly, or just frustrated at shoddy work in general.

Well, when I say bring me the head of the evilest man involved, I'm being metaphorical. Obviously he shouldn't be beheaded.

TLDR

ppsl qualifiers
- yoonyj was promised a flight and spot as replacement for targa.
- did not materialise. reason was awaiting funds.
- ipl states that payments were on schedule.
- moonglade was asked to represent azk and join azk for 3 months in return for spot and flight but he declined.
- azksickness joins azk recently and gets a free spot and flight without having to go through the qualifiers.

- players from filipino team 'Cube' was denied flights.
- both azk players was given walkovers in group e over rixilius and salt who coincidentally are from 'Cube'

ppsl
- audience did not get the vip privileges (interaction with players, autographs, etc) they paid for on day 1 (usd10). ticketing has no clue.
- stream testing only start 1 hour before event. no sound proofing. not enough ram.
- players have no idea what is going on and the brackets.

- hon players that registered for hon tournament arrive and realise there is no hon tournament. s2 funds unaccounted for.

azk
- some azk members are known for their notoriety online. zanooku/ziek banned from bnet forums and sc2sea after numerous counts of trolling and racism.
- negative comments removed from facebook page

I want to see this guy held accountable to IPL, YYJ, Team Cube, and S2. And I don't want to see anyone from AZN in any tournament ever again.

I just read some other posts. I don't understand how you guys can defend him. YYJ didn't get his promised seat, and instead Gus gave it to Sickness. Cube didn't get their promised seats or plane tickets. AZK held a qualifier for the event in-house, that made up a bunch of the spots in the tournament. IPL was made promises regarding the quality of the broadcast and the event itself, those promises were broken. And Gus' attitude and responses to the Australian guy who ran the Aussie qualifier, while not in any way illegal or subject to legal action, are further proof that this guy is a piece of shit scumbag.

Please, tell me, what other side could there possibly be that would excuse what this guy has done?
