I don't know if this is relevant or not, but that video was irratating as hell to watch, I couldn't even focus on the footage with all the constant bickering and hooting, was there no commentary?

Well in terms of him as a person I am definitely willing to let bygones be bygones. I would love to see him play more and go to places. But from a standpoint of a tourney organizer, he was giving a big opportunity to make a name for himself and given a huge responsibility with SC4 Nationals. He completely dropped the ball on this and there were a few things that questioned his integrity as an organizer. If everything went perfect, people would be asking him to make more tourneys and etc. Thus is the life of a tourney organizer. Reputation is very important since people commit a lot of money and time to travel to events. When we ran the Evo side tourney for SC5, I knew my reputation was on the line. There was a point Evo told us that they weren't going to supply us with monitors anymore and we were about to drive to BestBuy to personally buy monitors. Every time I run a tourney I want the majority of people who went to feel like their money and time were worth it. It's not exactly easy to do sometimes, but since people travel to these things it's very important.

Maybe what happened was either two things:

1.) He probably didn't budget the money wisely and spent it all on the event itself.
2.) The money that was given to him was spent on all the plane tickets and other things.

I don't think he just flat out stole the money though, but it is something that he should probably address.

the ball is in DFG's court, as it always has been. the bottom line is that lots, and lots of money vanished. it may have been stolen. it may have been used unwisely on the event (in which case our pot went toward the wrong costs). it may have been lost. we don't know.

all we have ever wanted was for DFG to prove where the money went or to apologize and explain why he can't do so. all we have ever gotten was a cold shoulder and a refusal to explain anything or provide any sort of paper trail of costs.

until we get some sort of resolution from his end, the blackwall stays up. the ball remains with DFG. we are not unforgiving, and our requests from him are not unreasonable.

to avoid any flaming, i am closing this thread. if you have any more questions regarding DFG and the community, PM me. DFG, if you see this thread, and wish to use it as an avenue to clear your name, PM me and i will open it and allow you to post.
