Not that I feel like I need to defend my opinion...
But I had no opinion of TB before this. (I didn't like Axiom, but only because of what had gone down with Slayers) I had read snippets that he was critical on a number of things related to running a team/organization, but other than that I knew he was a caster and his logo is a tophat (why?) I'm "supporting" him because I agree with what he said, not because I think he's going to friend me on facebook.

1. so dreamhack or eg cover your travel expenses to bucharest?

offline finals of sc2l is at dh bucharest. I think Axiom payed those flights. And i dont think GSTL covers intercontinental travel costs. So which teamleague does in fact pay? IPTL? yeah.. they must be the standard..

I haven't read all of this so I might be off base but I'm going to assume Axiom knew what amount of subsidies they'd receive from ATC and should have known before the LAN finals if they were able to go, should have known well before the event even begun.
Assuming Axiom knew the deal ahead of time they shouldn't have participated. I said the same thing about EG dota team not going to starladder finals. If you aren't going to pay-up to send your team to the LAN finals based on the agreements outlined by the event organizers, DONT PLAY IN THE EVENT.
If ATC didn't inform Axiom or Axiom were misinformed then that sucks and you can retract everything I said.

Its the simple things in life. I also like going for walks and watching puppies fight over chew toys.

I don't like the MVP solution. I don't like the Axiom solution. I live with it by being happy for Millenium and sad for Axiom. That's it. Live with it instead of arguing. At least it was dealt with swiftly, with TaKe being aware and looking for a backup. Could have been worse.
