Just listening to the way he talks and stutters and talks about being able to "back up" what he says, he's either just a horrible liar or he's just a dumbass.

C'mon you guys, the important thing here is he learned something. One of them being you shouldn't leave cables lying around. It may affect that 10mbps he was gunning for.



I just don't know what to say. To be honest part of me just wants someone to pony up the amount owing and say good-bye to him and his team forever. The other part of me knows that he needs to be made an example of so future douche bags can't get away with this type of behaviour.

Even if he were telling the truth and the funds just weren't there, and he is doing everything possible to correct his mistakes I do not understand how this guy didn't know right from the start this was going to be a failure. It had disaster written all over it right from the initial thought.

i feel bad for saying 10mbps for 32 or w/e computers is too little. standards in the Philippines are lower, so maybe 10mbps is alot. but i read the tl thread about people posting their internet speeds and how much they pay for it, and there were 3rd world countries in europe with people running on insane internet speeds, so i onno.

People have stepped down from smaller things than this.
He needs to pay back the debts or at least have the debts transferred into his name.
He should step down as part of AZK and from any further event coordination in the sc2 gaming scene.
This is what everyone wants. It's umm the recipe for the umm pots of issues to umm go away.

Lowest and most basic DSL speed here in Philippines is around 800kbps. Average residential speeds of the majority hit 1.2 - 1.5mbps. Lowest dedicated business line speed is 1mbps (no fluctuation).

Someone from another thread said that the PGF was streamed at the highest being 480p tops. I'm not sure how much bandwidth that needed but I'm guessing a dedicated 3-5 mbps line with only streaming connected.

I think they are pretty much covering both of their asses in the PPSL fiasco. This is first and foremost a Team AZK event with Gus at the helm as they claim. But seriously, if he was already fucking up before the event, Team AZK should have already stepped up.

One member claimed that if you tried to speak up you would be shut down or risk being removed from the group so they remained quiet. So.. I have something to say about that also but would rather not. Still waiting on AZK statement and not just a "gus" statement.

Spend 5 minutes saying: "I didn't get a real chance to defend my self or present my side of the argument"

- Say nothing after that.

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.

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.

Obviously. Look at his recent tweets to Wolf:

https://twitter.com/#!/AZKziek

wow, i hate to say it but sometimes you really can judge a book by its cover i guess. I also love the shameless and terrible game hes spitting over twitter just before his nerd rage spills out towards Wolf. what a class act. i sincerely hope he and Gus dont represent all of team AZK

Unless it's news of him being punished either by the law or divine intervention, I really could care less if I never heard the names Gus or AZK again. Didn't know who they were before this whole fiasco and now the only thing I know about them is they aren't worth knowing... As someone else said before, it's amazing that he can even show his face...

Honestly, just leave, and never come back Gus. No one likes you, and no one ever will in this community after all this.

This interview gave a lot of credence to the 'he's not evil he just really sucks at tournament organising and being a human being' argument. It could be something to do with how well he can speak English, I'm not sure if it's his first language but wow he just seemed downright stupid. It doesn't surprise me that someone of his capacity would majorly fuck up an international tournament that required a decent amount of competence to pull off.

Wait he planned on running 32 computers + stream on a 10mbps down connection with I assume a much less up bandwidth? What the fuck?

I hope someone put him to justice. Just because the Community paid the bill, doesn't mean Gus should be left scott-free.
Thank God and gunrun.

I don't have an expletive that can sufficiently describe what I think of his character. You all are welcome to try though!

Not likely for him to apologise, he's not earnest and also not manly enough to own up to his mistakes and fix what went wrong.

That said, his technical know-how is astounding. Those cables, man, cables.

Cables are ruining ESPORTS.
In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they are not.

We had a short "meme" here in the Philippines that could relate to Gus' learning from his mistake because he didn't know.

"I was not informed!"

+ Show Spoiler +
A summary of the events was there was a flooded street and the guy just ran his car through it and his car floated. Instead of just accepting his mistake, he went out and passed the blame to everyone else saying "I was not informed!" He has since apologized and learned from his mistake of going off the handle from his own action. The "I was not informed" statement did stick for quite a few weeks after that aired in the news.
