Personally I get the feeling this is not something that's happened because of one specific thing. We'll probably learn more later but I think it's likely something more going on just based on how people have reacted and how this seem to have been handled. Basically replacing someone on short notice doesn't usually happen just because a tournament was run badly. Well, other than Dreamleague, all their LAN events are usually scheduled a year in advance, so that is where the changes are felt first. Once the details about 2015 start coming out, we will probably see the real reasons he quit/was fired. | ||

Sad he always appeared to genuinely care about all this at least that was my impression. | ||

Admin drama every week)Dreamleague is DH's Dota 2 league. They announced their qualifiers and stuff just a few days before it was to begin, causing quite some issues within the pro teams and schedules (teams usually have that scheduled several weeks in advance). Forced teams to scramble and reschedule a bunch of shit just to fit in DH. The format's crazy and shit (long ass qualifiers, followed by a lan qualifier, followed by a lan —something along those lines). Then they moved the qualifier a day forward due to crap, causing even more issues (as teams had already rescheduled shit). Then add to it that it was basically a full day of games for the teams participating. Then Nukes (the head admin) was involved in a controversy when a team got a forfeit due to miscommunication (told the team's manager they could go sleep, but they still gave them a loss later when they couldn't play a match). Lots of drama, and bullshitting from Hellspawn (who only said that Nukes had been replaced, not admitting any fault). Then they got to play the match, but as their opp team needed a standin they had to play with one as well (lots of wtf). More admin issues. And probably something else I've forgotten. Basically the GD Studio has handled the Dreamleague previously, but this time they're only a hired talent taking care of the casting. First time DH is running it themselves. People are in agreement it's shit this time around because James & Co aren't involved in the planning and running of it. Either way, this has nothing to do with Dreamleague. The Dreamleague 'fiasco' is just some poor planning and bad admining, nothing that wouldn't be forgotten in a month unless they keep fucking up. This sounds like it was a long time coming. And it's hardly surprising that DH might have internal issues with a CEO like Robert. As much as I like him as a personality, we really can't tell (by we I'm obviously excluding some on this forum who might have insider knowledge) if this decision is good or bad for the company. And him saying the decision is based on greed, well one could argue that every business decision is based on greed, it doesn't really have much credence as a moral argument for if the decision is right or wrong without knowing the specifics. | ||
