You do not need full recompensation for something you do out of reasons like that. i'm not sure where you think you get off telling other people what they "need" for the work they do or instructing other people about what their love and dedication should mean to them... who do you think you are, man? there are a couple of minor legit criticisms you can make of his handling of this tourney, but you're just going on a witch hunt about his personal income and it's honestly creepy and rude | ||

You are picking out some sentences and telling me things like that, who do you the hell think you are? I already said before that I did not contribute, that it just was my personal opinion, and you guys can spend your money how you want and he can do whatever he wants. Don't get so emotional about that stuff. :D | ||

I want to get ride of some misconceptions regarding sending B teamers and the issues with the timing of Destiny I. First here is the players he requested: SKTT1 soo, SKTT1 Soulkey, SKTT1 Parting, SKTT1 Classic, KT Rolster Zest, KT Rolster Flash, JinAir Greenwings Maru, Prime MKP, IM Trap Most of these players were playing the playoffs of Proleague and could have scheduling issues because of the Grand Finals. He was not asking for B teamers like other have suggested, but he wanted the top players to participate. This is exactly the reason why I asked the earlier question about whether there was additional dialogue between Destiny and Kespa besides just the letter that was posted. It looks like there was more to the story than just that isolated letter. If the list above is really who Destiny requested then it certainly is a bigger ask than random Kespa B teamers. | ||

Your communications often come over as aggressive strong-arming and at times obviously untrue statements thrown in as if they strengthen your position. Is this how business is always done in Korea or is this a language barrier thing? To a western ear it seems very immature. The points were reasonable, the way they were made was not. It could be worded less confrontationally to not cause offence. As it is you were needlessly rude and that is now potentially denying your players income from future destiny tournaments. It seems very poor representation. | ||

Especially that sentence seems more tipical from a guy sitting high on his English horse, to be honest. | ||

I think, if anything, making hosting and planning tournements suistainable (ie. they pay you a living wage) is one of the best way to grow the sc2 scene. Or you could shave your shave, light some incence and live off monk-like sc2 passion - it is a substitute for food, right? | ||

Also I have read through the comments and people think KeSPA is demanding money or something to send our players, which is completely false. We don't get paid money by any tournament to send players. | ||

I think the response Destiny might have been looking for would have been something like: "Sorry, your tournament conflicts with Proleague finals so those players won't be available. I'll let other players who might be interested in joining your tournament know and see if anyone would like to participate." It is such a shame that your players missed out on this opportunity to win some money, and that we viewers missed out on watching your great players play. | ||

Asking questions of an organization in a public forum is not really the best way to handle things. This is a conversation to be had between Destiny and Kespa (or whoever Kespa wishes to have converse with Destiny.) If we get involved and muck things up it could turn out worse for all involved. I would suggest we let the two main parties handle this as they are both more than capable of coming to a decision themselves. | ||

I think Destiny's approach was that he contacted you as an intermediary to pitch it to your players as an opportunity to play for a good chance at winning some prize money. He's not big [read: hates] on bureaucracy and red tape and seems to feel rebuffed by the way he was responded to, which was stonewalled. Given the language barrier and your access to the players, you were in a unique position to confer interest between the two parties. Given that we don't have access to the entire conversation, I'm sure now that Destiny isn't scrambling to get invites out and information / funding sorted regarding the tournament, there can be an opportunity to work out where the mis-communication occurred and to sort that out privately. I, for one, would be excited to see more big-name SC2 players able to participate in the tournament and would love to hear that you two worked something out behind the scenes to smooth this over. | ||
