Sure, they're taking their sweet ass time, but at least they say they're working on it, have a little patience and spare some trust in EG/TL/ROOT. Unless you really were anticipating this stuff so highly, in which case I guess continue? Seriously though, relax, show some patience. Though I will admit that releasing one of the tiers sooner rather than later would buy them some degree of favor from the community on this issue. | ||

Now, someone correct me if I'm wrong, but from what I have seen the only people that have addressed the delay are players on the teams, that have little to nothing to do with the management that should be setting all of this stuff up. Incontrol commented on it a few times, cheers to him for updating the plebs when no one else will bother. Then Krepo from EG's LoL team commented on it(they only have one thing to do, the music video) on Reddit today. | ||

Their outrage over the lack of YouTubes and a pizza party during an NA event cannot be stopped. They will be outraged about something, and this is it for today. I don't care about the videos either. I do care about whether someone follows through on commitments they make. | ||

It was number 1 on that reddit with like more than a 1000 upvotes. http://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/1lil38/dear_eg_some_of_us_might_forget_but_not_everyone/ The top comment on the thread is Krepo from EG LoL team explaining why their tiers did not get started yet. I understand that they're busy, but it sure doesn't sound like fufilling these promises to their fans is a particular priority to EG. | ||

No. (maybe some) The main reasons (most) of the people bought the pizzas was to support EG/TL/ROOT's promotion and because they were offering rewards for the number of pizzas bought. I am sure many people wouldn't have bought the pizzas if it wasn't for the promises they made. Did TL/EG/ROOT keep everyone up to date on the progress? No. They didn't keep the community up to date on the progress of the fulfill of these promises UNTIL someone posted in this thread asking why they didn't keep their promises. A drought of communication on the subject for a month or more as if they forgot.Really, you're going to boycott actual players and leagues because some meaningless comedy content hasn't been delivered (in whole)? This is the prime example of complaining for the sake of complaining. Yes, they haven't followed up on their commitments, but they weren't very meaningful or important commitments to begin with. Honestly, it's better for everyone if they spend their time or money producing content that actually matters. So telling them that they are complaining for the sake of complaining is a ridiculous. They clearly have valid reasons for complaining and thus they are not "complaining for the sake of complaining". On September 02 2013 06:57 Plansix wrote: Same thing. Calling them drama llamas when they have valid reasons. The drama lhamas continue their search for things to pitchfork. Cheap pizza and the apology from EG krepo for being late is not enough for them. Their outrage over the lack of YouTubes and a pizza party during an NA event cannot be stopped. They will be outraged about something, and this is it for today. You can't debase someone for complaining about something UNLESS they have ZERO valid reasons. I didn't participate in the promotion and didn't plan on watching the content. However, that doesn't mean I am going to ignore the fact that you are trying to disregard these people after the dereliction of promises made by a promotion they paid to support. | ||

The occasional post from iNcontroL may not be much, but its better than nothing at least. Its definitely not a post from management, but at least its something. A little somethin' is better than nothin', and I have faith that iNcontroL will do what he can to try and move it forward. Not saying that he'll be able to do much, but at least its something.  | ||

Well they did show the pizza eating contest, and while it was a bit underwhelming, I enjoyed it. | ||

They are working against their own goals here. first off Liquid is not an American esports organization Nazgul is European who founded it therefore its a European esports organization. Second of all like Incontrol said way back these 3 teams well more like Liquid of all of them Has been extremely busy latly they want to do the switching teams of incontrol and TLO but the problem is that TLO is going to all these events and devoting all his time to preparing for WCS so he has no time to spare a week to do something for fun right now so calm down they are working on it. | ||

Honestly though should have thought of that before they went ahead with this promotion. Maybe putting it aside for a while until the stretch goals where actually achievable. AT THE VERY LEAST come out with some kind of official statement. I think the biggest reason people are pissed most of all is because both (3) teams are very quiet about this, only Incontrol (his last statement was 2 months ago) has bothered to say anything up to today. And still we've heard zero from anyone who actually has any control over this. The whole thing is handled very poorly, much more of a problem than the delay itself. Like I said. If I was McDonalds right now thinking: "Maybe I want to do somekind of promotion within esports", and then come across this thread. I'd probably go "hmm..maybe not". Thats the opposite of what you, me, and especially the teams involved wants. Also, yes. My wording of the top 3 teams was poor. And since people are very fond of correcting even though its not actually important to the statement itself: "2 of the top esports organizations in the world + root"..happy now?  | ||

It was humiliating for me as a user, and I can only hope that having to act like pizza salesmen and plug PJ for a week was humiliating enough for TL to not consider a similar promotion ever again and to establish some sort of standards regarding the kind of companies they're willing to take money from. Then again, probably not. | ||

Maybe you think eSports can live off hopes and dreams and no money? | ||

Well some people have a really low bar for what annoys them and think that sites like this should never make any effort to grow or make more money. Its just the way it is, you can't please everyone, so don't bother. | ||
