(just from 100% likable to 99%) When being in the frontline and all eyes pointed at you already because you have been drinking with that gus guy, you could at least say something like: we can't go in details but unfortunately some things went really wrong too and we feel sorry for people who were treated badly and hope everything will be solved. I think it's really important to them as professionals that they represent the organizations they work with in the most positive light possible. It's not really their place to use the platform GOM gives them to trash talk someone else they've done work for, even if (as in this case) the criticism is entirely valid. We have to remember that Tasteless and Artosis aren't just dudes we all love that log on and cast games, they're employees of large organizations and depend on their excellent reputations as professionals that do their best for whoever hires them for their livelihood. | ||

The PPSL had a huge chance to promote the SEA E-Sports community. However, the bottom line is that Gus Ledesma, the so called mastermind behind the PPSL event was completely unqualified to run such an event. From what I have gathered, Gus Ledesma ruined what could have been SEA's break out event into the global E-Sports scene (Tastosis, top Koreans). That in my book is ruining/killing E-Sports in the SEA region. I guarantee you that IGN is never going to want to deal with the SEA region ever again nor other organizations. I sincerely hope that this isn't the case. | ||

Thanks for poining that out, I guess that's the case. They probably even have a contract that doesn't allow them to. Still for me personally, pretending bad stuff didn't happen makes professionals really look bad. Keep being positive about the organisation you work for even if they did something wrong never feels right. Honesty goes a long way, so even when you talk about bad stuff, in the end people might respect your organisation even more because you don't cover stuff up. Like when GOM quickly removed the part of Jinro saying he could hear casters in the booth, that's bad. How IPL quickly reacted, that's good. | ||

Keep in mind that the problem was PPSL was basically Gus himself. The other people involved, the audience, the players, they didn't do anything wrong. They can't just say "Wow that event was awful" on air at GSL, that'd be incredibly rude and disrespectful to all the innocent bystanders in some way involved in the tourny. Like people have said, if Artosis gets on SotG, that's a better place to talk about it because he can explain what was actually wrong without just giving a big, blanket statement that the tournament was bad. | ||

Yes I guess. For the record I don't mean for them saying the tournament was bad. And if they didn't say anything about it I could understand it too. But what I didn't like was them saying it was great and keep hyping it while not saying, unfortunately some things went wrong too but we hope these will be solved. After they would have done that I wouldn't mind how much they kept hyping it up. It's the "we only bring the positive side of the story" what I didn't like. | ||

It's not their place to talk about problems with the tournament, especially at a job that has no association with it. | ||
