Oh yeah, and no casters just days before the tournament. Organization at it's finest its definitely not scam. I just hope the players traveling to south asia dont get drugged raped and killed for organ parts | ||

Check the other tournament threads of all the community made tournaments and most posts are supportive. What raises eyebrows here is the fact its a tournament that popped out of the blue with a huge prize pool, and increasingly causes suspicion with the lack of organization, advertisement, or details. | ||

What an incredibly idiotic opinion. Do you have any idea how dodgy an "industry" eSports is? How many scams have happened over the years? How many screwups due to sheer incompetence? A tournament with a big prizepool appears out of nowhere in an unusual location, doesn't have any casters and basically hasn't promoted itself at all, has no links to any known quantities within the industry and you think the reason people have concerns is jealousy? TL has quite a few people that think they are industry insiders because they post on the same forum as actual industry insiders. You're not and if you had any idea what really went on behind the curtain you wouldn't be making such stupid posts. | ||

This forum is full of people who pretend to know what the fuck they're talking about and it's only gotten worse since the people that actually do know their shit got sick of it and stopped posting. The pile of manure you call posting is just a symptom of that. People like you are an embarrassment to this forum and thank god other posters are calling you out on that. You want to contribute to this discussion? Ok, find some evidence that this event is legit. Use your myriad contacts and knowledge of the scene to do that, I'm sure it will be easy for you. You gotta have some real gall to dare to accuse people who work and contribute to this scene every day of trying to keep their "little corner" to themselves. Well, gall or bare-faced ignorance, take your pick. The only thing people want to protect, is the integrity of the scene and the well-being of the players. Players getting fucked over at best or literally robbed at worst at shady events is not a fantasy, it happens, it's a real thing. People are rightly concerned and want to see some credentials for this thing. | ||

Had the stream open all night. No twitch chatter at all and no past broadcast so I'm going to guess not. But hey, AoE2 is getting casted at http://www.twitch.tv/vooblyofficial by people other than the listed guys on the website because WSVG never bought them tickets and these guys paid their own way :D Also Kripp got his shit stolen in Maldives already: | ||
