Someone should actually come up with a TL;DR.

Long story short, he fucked his own event up and has been pretty difficult to contact while Torch, TheGunrun and a lot of the production/AZK/PPSL staff have been left to deal with his shit.

This blog covers much of what's going on, but not everything:
http://www.teamliquid.net/blogs/viewblog.php?topic_id=283600

A lot of people have been saying he's been irresponsible (coming very late and being uncontactable for the early parts of the event, while everyone else didn't know who they needed contact), being an arrogant prick (someone made a post on PPSLTV's twitter saying "we couldn't have done it without Gus leading the way", others report that he was bragging at the event how he was the one who organized it).

Importantly, there is a $12k USD flight bill that one of his staff members is in debt for and he has promised that he will pay her, but every indication so far has shown that this is unlikely (not signing papers to take over the debt, etc, etc). Also TheGunrun had to pay a 900 USD hotel bill in advance for another staff member.

I love how you guys are going about the long term. I am of the opinion that the IPL is the best foreign SC2 tournament because you guys are constantly learning and improving, as well as garnering an amazingly good reputation from IPL3.
Can't wait for the next regional and eventually IPL4!
