Tl;dr version - Destiny was invited to cast. People emailed gigabyte to complain. Gigabyte removed destiny from casting. Destiny fans up in arms and tweeted/emailed gigabyte in anger at destiny's request and now they're boycotting event.

Not sure if you're being facetious Xeris, but just read this tweet. GESL announcing Destiny as a caster and then removing him is obviously going to cause at least a minute backlash considering the amount of fans that Destiny has.

That said, CLIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIDE is awesome, and I wish him and the GESL well, but I also will not be watching.

Clide is awesome but I'm still boycotting this event. Unless Destiny is brought back as a caster.

The destiny situation is really hard, and I am sure its not what the event organizers wanted. Their #1 goal though is to put on an incredible event for fans to see, and if they have no sponsors, they can't put on an event. I have no idea if there was any sort of threat to pull out of sponsoring the event, but if there was, we need to understand that the event organizers would have been put in a loose loose situation, we can't blame them.

That said, the whole Destiny thing sucks. Destiny is actually a really nice guy every time I have had the chance to chat with him at events.

Lets support the event no matter what, and the organizers for putting something like this on for us to see. I'm sure it takes a ton of work.
