This guy may have done some shady thing involving player flights, but the prize pool is stated on liquipedia to be 3500, with 2000 for first. Unless IGN paid them for a 9000$ prize pool, then there is no reason to lay this accusation and tarnish the guys image where it is not due. well then why would AZK guys argue with Dox about it then? I know that part is probably has the least credible source but that's why i directly quoted dox as he is unsure too | ||

It was funny for a while but it was pretty bad when viewed from a professional perspective. | ||

If Gus paid Blizzard, then Blizzard doesn't give an eff how he screws everyone else. Money is all that matters. Well, that and they want to keep these clauses around for when they actually decide they need them. They're an insurance policy, not a mission statement. maybe you believe all that matters is money, but you aren't very intellignet if you believe they value the minimal amount (if any) of money gus paid over the public exposure and future patronage of sc2 tourneys. | ||

There's no reason this topic can't simply be brought up in a post in the other thread. Are you guys going to start a fund to help IPL hire a lawyer in the Phillipines? Also "damaging an entire scenes reputation" is the type of exaggeration that is typical of threads like this and only creates problems when it gets repeated enough. Not to mention the fact that we haven't even heard both sides of the story. Can you think of any other threads in recent memory where people were lambasting one party as guilty before hearing the other side, and then after hearing the other side switching opinions entirely? EG/TSL, Major/Sixjax perhaps? this certainly has hurt SEA's reputation for holding major tournaments. IPL will think twice about another tourney there (as its expesnive and difficult to double check reliability) and viewers now have a sour taste in their mouth. | ||

While I don't agree with some of his methods, I think I'm willing to give him a bit of a benefit of a doubt. And he needs to give a very good explanation of his actions. | ||
