For anyone who didn't tune in, Cyber Sports Network just streamed a series of recorded interviews done by Rachel Quirico with various people involved in the PPSL, the star attraction being Gus Ledesma. After waiting on the CSN stream for a long time to hear what Gus had to say about the PPSL, I was incredibly disappointed in his interview(and I saw that many others on the chat were as well).
Rachel's questions were delivered calmly and designed not to vilify Gus in any way, but to still get at the issues that were on most of our minds: Did you have a financial plan worked out going into the PPSL? Where were you when the other tournament staff were frantically trying to make everything go right and you were nowhere to be found? What happened with YoonYJ? What are you doing to make everything right with Amanda and the others who were hurt financially by this event?
I was expecting Gus to own up to his mistakes and deliver an apology. After all, how could he possibly deny that he was in the wrong, especially after multiple sources told their stories of how his lies and negligence personally affected them? This was his chance to try to make things right with the TL community. Boy was I wrong. Myself and other stream viewers listened in disbelief as Gus proceeded to dodge EVERY SINGLE QUESTION and try to distribute the responsibility of HIS OWN MISTAKES on other parts of the crew. The chat was flooded with cries of outrage and strings of profanity as each obvious lie was delivered by Gus, and as he tried to maneuver his way out of each question without saying anything substantial.
This interview removed every piece of doubt in my mind that Gus is a lying and cheating POS. How can there be any doubt that this is all his fault, when he can't even bring himself to give a truthful answer to any single question, nevermind an apology?
Well he did say that he was in over his head with the scale of the tourney and that he overspend. "Technically" he said "we" but we haven't heard of anybody that he delegated these tasks to, so it's got to be him.
edit: but he didn't really apologize and he did dodge almost all the questions. Also his reasoning for the bad ping was "people stepping on the LAN cables". I mean, really?
edit2: also AZKZeik was very vocal in the chat protecting Gus and saying that Dox lied, also that he'd be willing to go on LO3 to tell the truth.
If I never hear the name Gus Ledesma again in my life I would be happy. How is this guy able to continue showing his face in the community anyway? (Assuming everything he did to Amanda and with the team is true)
PPL like this shouldn't be in ESPORTS and its SAD that this guy cant admit that he was wrong.. he didn't know what he was doing and he needs to admit it.. Its sad when EGO gets that much in the way of doing the honorable / right thing. Very sad ...

AZKZeik can speak all he likes, but every sea players knows for a fact that he's a rude, shady, racist juvenile. So whatever he has to say shouldn't be taken for much worth.
DOX has nothing to gain from giving his "truth". zeik does though, consider that.

Ziek is a lying racist smack talking piece of shit who completely pussied out when confronted IRL. Pretty much every single person in SEA will attest to this.
Dox is one of the most respected members of the SEA community, and for good reason.
from the small part of the interview i watched (i turned it off when i realised nothing was really being said) i was disapointed that rachel never pressed him for an answer. she was right to be calm, disarmingly nice to someone many people hate etc etc. but when he failed to really answer the questions i felt like she just let him off and moved on, rather than pressing for info

True, but you could tell by the look on her face that she was pretty disgusted by how much bullshit this guy was spewing. I don't think pressing him would have really done anything since it seems he is incapable of doing anything but supply more bullshit. If she really tried to press him for an answer, she would eventually have to call him a liar to his face.
If she pressed him for more information regarding the questions he would have just buckled and left the call... Good interview nonetheless, horrible answers from Gus though.
I really don't understand the logic of putting a tournament of this magnitude in Gus' hands in the first place. Someone please tell me how they found this bloke.
