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.



Yup, he says it like stepping on the wires were causing a clog in the pipes/system. hehe! I was just dumbfounded when I heard that.

I guess we could imagine a slogan should be put in every event that needs internet "DO NOT STEP ON THE WIRES! WILL CAUSE SEVERE DROP IN BANDWIDTH! ANYONE FOUND STEPPING ON THEM WILL BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR ANY DISRUPTION IN THE STREAM!"

Well, on the bright side, now we have a replacement for the CombatEx "apology that doesn't actually apologize for anything" video.

Even after everything that happened, if he had owned up and admitted that he fucked up royally, that a lot of other people paid for his mistakes, and that he cowardly went into hiding post-tournament rather than face reality, then I'd say "time to let this go". He'd still obviously never be trusted to run a tournament again, but maybe he wouldn't forever be ostracized by the community.

This interview showed he shouldn't be put in charge of a lemonade stand, let alone a major tournament, ever again.
If you ban me, I will become more powerful than you can possibly imagine.

"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:

You can add creepy as hell to his character list from his other tweets too.

I cant watch the interview right now.
Does he actually say anything about paying back the people who are out of money because of him?

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.


Where exactly are these "3rd world countries in Europe"?

I'm not aware of any.

i dont see why he would step down as part of azk. i havent seen a good thing said by any of them so far, they all come across as douches.

And how many have you personally met? I was former AZK, i don't think i'm a douche and there are plenty PLENTY of awesome people i've met through AZK, some are douches, like AZKziek/ZanooKu, but there are alot more that are awesome.

Superpower, if it possible, try to reach out to your former clanmates and persuade them to speak about this mess. AZK is being dragged down, purely because the only rep that has spoken are douchebags like Gus and Ziek. It is a terrible PR move to maintain radio silence and hope that this will die down on its own.
Thank God and gunrun.

Being formerly part of AZK, perhaps you could enlighten us with the organizational structure? I have the impression that Gus solely owns AZK, hence AZK equals Gus. I could be wrong tho, but I think that most likely is the reason why there are no statements from them.

Yeah, that interview was kind of a joke.

I am a former AZK member(need to change I.D.) and will hopefully try to clear up somethings, first as of what I know Gus is the CEO/manager of the team and "owns" the team just because he made it but I dont think he has any form of of formal ownership of it. Next most of us werent even part of the PPSL, I for one wasnt even there and didnt even have the time to watch it. Guys pls stop flaming the whole team on forums and ladder, most of us were not involved in it. Lastly, I am sorry but I cant help address the questions about the debts because I wasnt part but if you have questions I will try my best to answer them as soon as i can. Thank you .
