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.

Look at MVP. They dont pull out. If you are in a difficult situation, you do more to overcome it not less to evade it.


They put out the begging bowl. We foolishly assumed the community would not react well to asking them for money and would instead be understanding of the massive financial cost flying an entire team halfway across the planet would cost and the fact that since the start of ATC, circumstances have radically changed within both the team and the scene.

We were horribly mistaken.

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 pretty funny, though I bet the guy doesn’t even know its funny.

These posts are the worst I've read so far and that says a lot. How old are you, 12?
Don't get me wrong; I'm not agreeing with JimmiC but what exactly is the purpose of these 2 posts?

If you're going to look down at what Team MVP did at least compare them to a street performer with a donation cup instead of a beggar.

I am 33 and enjoy watching people who have no idea what they are talking about get upset about things they don't understand and then getting yelled at for it.

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

Stop sending messages to people that disagree with you. None of us are friends. We just all enjoy you making an ass of yourself.

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.
