Endding

You picked a bad time to get lost friend
They are not 'forcing' you to donate, just asking the community to possibly give them a hand.

when will people realize that emp is not a sponsor. they are a development company
In all honesty, I went to their site and still can't figure out what this "development company" does? Are they event promoters or something? Also, how is calling them a sponsor incorrect? They pay players to represent their company. That's sponsorship isn't it?

Not trying to be a troll, just trying to connect some dots.

Watching some of the names in this community act the way they do in here makes you wonder...
People have some growing up to do.

The issue isn't "We didn't save up for the event". My mind is blown that people keep jumping to that conclusion. What happened here is a case of allocated money from a sponsorship source where the release of the money MAY BE DELAYED past Evo, effectively rendering it useless for getting us there. So the money allocated for Evo exists, and is 100% coming, but the time is an issue.

We were informed of this FOUR days ago. A week before Evo hits. This is after the company in question told us not to worry, that everything would be ok, that there's no issues. Then when that happens, their response is "You're on your own".

If we were told even a WEEK in advance, then paying for our tickets would not have been an issue. But being that everything was a go, I did not put that money aside, nor did anyone else.

So this donation drive is less about giving us money, and more about helping us get to EVO, then you getting your money back if you choose to.

Evo dates were announced what, 6 months ago? And you just realized now that you haven't booked a ticket? You don't think that's odd? VXG comes out of nowhere and teams with the shadiest, shittiest "group" around and you just assume everything is perfect and they've got it handled? And now you want others to pay for your incompetence?

Whoa there buddy, you should probably calm down.

Let's see... it's tough to address all your points when they lack even a shred of understanding, but I'm gonna try. Every major within those "6 months" had money allocated to it from various sponsors. We correctly allocated money for every single tournament to get almost a dozen players out to each event. They made it to every single one of those events without a hitch, up-to and including CEO.

Your assumptions start from thinking that large corporations buy tickets for people months in advance. Every time I've ever been flown out by any large organization (and anyone I've ever known as well), whether it be MLG or Sony or Nintendo, they purchase my tickets within a week or two of the event in question.

Your second assumption that somehow Empire Arcadia is a "shady, shitty group". Any elaboration as to why you think that? I mean, the shady part has to be from hearsay without basis, and the shitty part has to be from your opinion, since EMP kinda wins. A lot. All the time. Constantly.

The third assumption is incompetence, and where you THINK the money is coming from. The only issue arising here is that one of EMP's sponsors, had a delay clearing the money allocated for evo, and that it ran late. Everything was already planned out, until this delay snafu. As evidence of the tens of thousands of dollars correctly to get all the players out to every other major in the last 6 months without a hitch.

And @STB, EMP is akin to an agency, not a sponsor. They find sponsorship for players. Every player knows that going in, and every chance we get we make sure people know that. People assume they're a sponsor because they have an acronym. How does anything you said there make sense?

Was this GDLK, cause it was not VxG and you need to reinforce that. VxG has fulfilled all it obligations, I have been closely watching them
