Seems like there are people on TL who disagree with you on this.

If you're referring to me, I'm not disagreeing. He needs to be sanctioned and blacklisted.

I just don't agree with the reaction, and the fact that he hasn't had time to defend himself, considering he's busy running a failing event. Yeah, there's not much he can say to defend himself. But picking on a guy who hasn't had the time to own up is just silly.

PS: This is being called objective btw.

Just like real life, but even more, the internet is full of scammers. Seems to be Gus most likely used some money for personal benefits aswell as his position in tournament to give AZK benefits.

Though he is the biggest asshole around, i have to admit i am a bit dissapointed in IPL (they are probably more dissapointed themselves too) for not properly background checking these guys.

Nothing you've said is objective. First you say we should stfu and stand behind a tainted tournament because reputable peope like Rachel/Tastosis are standing behind it. Now you want people to wait for Gus to come out and defend/own up before people flame him. The very person you agree should be blacklisted and and sanctioned because his guilt has been proven without a doubt already. You pick on someone after they admit their sins and ask for forgiveness? What kind of broke logic is that. You're just trying to pick a fight for no reason so you can stop now.

I don't think so, YoonYJ might not sue him because it's a relative small damage for him, but IGN will at least check out what they can do legally as the organizers didn't fulfill their obligations.

In the end that gus guy screwed everyone and if he is not sued he is at least dead for esports. Seriously, how can he ever expect to get a sponsor on board? To get into famous leagues, to be invited as a team. He just spat the whole community in its face and - to my knowledge - didn't even explain himself till now. Goodbye, AZK, sorry for your players who will get hit by some of this inevitably.

I'm just going to guess you're filipino so you feel the need to defend Gus somehow and taking this personal.

Yeah I couldn't watch the stream at all. Yesterday obviously with all of the internet and technical difficulties they had I didn't watch for very long, but today was almost as bad. The stream was still extremely laggy, and aside from maybe one or two games casted by Tastetosis, they had these two unbelievably terrible casters filling in for them.

So needless to say I was already pretty pissed off at PPSL for having a complete meltdown with thousands of people watching, but now that all of this is surfacing I don't know what to think. It was also very evident that they were prioritizing AZK members on the live stream, as they showed very VERY mediocre players, instead of high level players such as Sen vs Inka.

As others have stated I definitely expect lawsuits to be filed very shortly by IGN if they do not receive a refund, but yeah, at least in my eyes, I'm never watching any AZK player again.

we need a statement from Tasteless

This is a terrible turn of events and hopefully IGN/IPL is able to pick up the pieces. This just goes to show you that, no matter where you go, there are crooks and thus all business dealings with unknowns like Gus needs to be highly scrutinized.

That's right. Gus is a scammer, just look at how YoonYJ was treated. You can't be blind to what happened to him. Don't skim over YoonYJ's page - take your time and READ every word.

Definitely watch out for this guy, once a crook always a crook.

Forget whatever Team AZK for now, the damage has been done I'm pretty sure swift justice will be served. The tournament is still on going, for the laggy streams I'm pretty sure replays will be uploaded on days to come for us to enjoy, hopefully they will send this replays to IGN for better experience.

Note* I am also a Filipino and I am deeply ashamed of what have transpired, but nonetheless we will learn from this and will not be blinded by fame or whatsoever in helping the SEA community to grow.

Just fyi to the people dropping the "developing country" critique in reference to this whole fiasco, the Philippines is recently considered an industrialized country.

And honestly even if it wasn't, what would that have to do with the shenanigans of one person / team? Shady people exist in all forms, and in all countries. The term developing country has nothing to do with some form of "developing moral ethics" of the general populous of a country.

Sorry for the slight tangent. I'm just annoyed with seeing this brought up in nonchalant fashion when all it really does it add a slightly racist tone to arguments.

That said, I will look forward to the next legit event held in the Philippines. All this talk of the Philippines coincidentally is really making crave some lumpia right about now

In yesterday's group play, group E had 2 AZK members and 2 Cube members. The 2 AZK members advance into the elimination stage by default. Because the Cube members couldnt make it since Gus cancelled their flights.

AZK also tried to recruit players from Team Mineski before all this.

Instead of approaching YoonYJ, Gus speaks directly to mOOnGLaDe - attempting to bribe him with a qualifying spot and paid flights/accommodation. If mOOnGLaDe accepts, he is required to represent Team AZK at the event, and join the team for 3 months. (GLaDe declined)

He tried to pull the same shit on my players. Zzzzzz


Also.. you should include in the PPSL notes that THEY FIXED THE BRACKETS for today's tournament! They had AZK members going against each other in the original brackets! But this was changed so that AZK members don't face each other early on.
