we should all start threads about this whole disaster and keep the issue alive on their website. Im willing to bet theyll delete threads that could harm their reputation but we should keep making them to let them know that the SC2 community wont stop asking questions until they start answering

I made a thread titled "Lingering Issues with AZKs PPSL debacle" on the Team AZK website forum. Not surprisingly, they deleted my thread.

Im gonna remake the thead, does anyone want to help me keep the issue at the top of their forum? Im not saying we should spam their site, Im just saying that we need to keep the issue alive so they dont just ignore it like it seems theyre trying to do.

Edit: Link to their forums is in the above quoted post

CSN show on the PPSL scandal is delayed as informed by Dox.

for those who arent aware, rachel aka seltzer is going to host a show on csn (cyber sports network) today to discuss the ppsl scandal. as far as i know dox (australian qualifier organiser), rossi (australian tournament participant) and gus is going to be on the show.

IPL is trying to prevent that from happening, with some help from the community.

The OP links to Dox's thread with more information. On there it explains what has happend with Amanda.

Dox's TL Blog Post

Basically She is the travel agent who got stuck with the PPSL's travel costs. She is the travel agent who organized everything for Gus and PPSL. And Gus hasn't payed the bill nor been seen as of late. She could go to jail and her travel agency could be shut down because of this.

Why am I not surprised? Oh right it's Gus.

You think you'll have a guest on your show. Nope, Gus Ledesma!

- PPSL was a stand alone event
- IPL decided to give a lil money to sponsor it and also use this as an opportunity for IPL4 Pacific qualifiers (as well as growing Esports in Asia)
- The main organiser from Team AZK is a guy called "Gus Ledesma" i.e. AZKwitchdoc
- He essentially holds all the funding from various parties
- and He decided not to pay up for anything. He also lied / made the prizepool ambiguous ($7000 ---> $3500)
- He also likes to talk trash and not honour his words
- As a result, Amanda the travel agent who booked flights + hotel, who Gus promised to pay, is in serious debt. She has to pay the debt or she'll be fired from her company / be jailed / both.
- Gunrun and co have paid up partially so the police haven't swooped them up yet.
- IPL is trying to appeal to the community to save Amanda from going to jail.
- Gus has released the most irresponsible statement so far in Esports (possibly rivaling Millenium's) re: what happened
- Gus has since disappeared with the money which was supposed to pay what was described above

Phew. I may have made a lot of mistakes, but this is the general outline. Gus' attitude can be best experienced by reading his conversations on facebook with various people. You need to go to Dox's blog for that.

Hi Guys. Basically well through yesterday's fund raiser I should be covered (Thanks again everyone! ) I'm just waiting for IGN.

Hotels were not by me (Just to clarify). I did plane tickets though.

Operations at the office shouldn't be affected anymore. ^^
