Only the upper management has some "issues". Feel bad for the good AZK people.
Unfortunately for these good members who I'm sure are nice people, the upper management controls the organisation and so is responsible for the direction they take. In this case I think its clear its not the right direction. Some of these guys may be nice blokes, but if I had Zanooku as a teammate I would break contract if I had to in order to leave that team. Being associated with the management and some of the players they have chosen is appalling and any player worth his salt should be distancing himself from them. Yeah its my opinion and im really angry but I think this event needs no sugarcoating. What are the AZK members really getting out of membership in this team? If I were them I'd be out fast... really fast.
Stupid move on AZK's part to be honest. They've acted a bit dodgy in the past, but they've now destroyed any credibility they had at all. Can't see any organizations or players being willing to do business with them in the future with the current management.
i appreciate you guys for not generalizing the filipinos for the lack of professionalism shown by azk. As a filipino, I'm really disappointed, I hope this serves as a reminder to all clans/groups.
I don't know how many people are aware of this, but it takes A LOT for me to speak negatively about an event. I even stood up for WCG when it was being torn to shreds over at CyberGamer.
This is the first time I've ever felt that it has become truly necessary to highlight the negatives.
Wow, this is appalling! Really impressed with the way YoonYJ has handled this though. He has earned some mega kudo's, on top of the massive pile he already had for being such a boss :P
Gus should really be sued, not only for the cost of the ticket, but also for compensation for potential tournament winnings for Yoon. He needs to be made an example of so that this kind of thing can't happen again.
Edit: So IGN has posted on TL that they sent all moneys on time and Gus wasn't waiting on anything. Thanks to IGN for the clarification.
Broken contract = reprocussion? This is truly disgusting, and I want to see the people responsible burn for it in court at least and leave our community.

Not worth taking it to court, having to deal with the Aus and Phil law systems would be a nightmare and not worth the ~$1000
Gus is the corruptor of sc2... he also cancelled the flight of all members of team cubes from the province of philippines (cebu) whos qualify from the tournament IPL ... this guy is racist and scumbag... he's taking advantage of esports for his own interest... this guy must be stop and be cast out from the community of esports... damn you u giving bad image of the philippine esports gaming industry...

99.9% of the time, any contract that will be able to be enforced will ONLY come from lawyers that cost well over the 2k an hour range. Due to the different legal systems from both countries and their intricacies. It is well known among most of the Pro teams and organisations in SC2 that they are simply not useful at all for their cost.
This is just saddening to read just when I wake up Hope they do suffer some severe repercussions for the crap they have done.
Also read Dox's blog on TL, nice plug at the end hopefully that gets us more players and Dox Cup 2 will be great!
Mad Props to YYJ for handling this so well. I found it rather suspicious that they were promising stuff around like money meant nothing to them too. :/
Very sad to hear this, I really am dissapointed in the eSports community, especially for an event of this calibre.
Hope everything gets sorted, free seed for YoonYJ????
The event was poorly organized overall anyway, as far as viewers were concerned. Hope to see an explanation from Witchdoc. Because as always, there's 2 sides to a story. I believe we should reserve judgment till then.
well.. at least now we know e-sports is really like a real sport! I'm sure things like this happens in real sports too.. it's a shame this kind of s**t happened.
