that's pretty fucking scummy

no one will ever try to legitimize tf2 as a competitive game if tournament sponsors can't even pay up

marketplace.tf has never had an issue with paying up with tournaments in the past and Plantronics is a company with a reputation to maintain (a company so large that $1000 is paltry to them)

ThalashFriendly reminder that some of the organisers of this event have since bailed on TF2 and now have no reason to chase any of this up.

There was only one admin for this event and I have been chasing Plantronics since the tournament ended, emailing them repeatedly and ringing the contact. As I've said multiple times I don't know why they'd disappear into the night as a large company with a reputation, but I do not physically have the money and cannot force them to pay. I don't appreciate you making it seem like I've simply not bothered to contact Plantronics or worse taken the money. The Sweetstakes money is still with geel, I never asked him to pay it out individually because we were waiting for the full amount that we could pay out to teams, and I hadn't given up getting it from Plantronics.

If Plantronics is holding you back from paying the remaining $2000, I think it's about time you give up on them and start getting in contact with Geel.

As for me making it seem like you didn't chase it up, I know you have but I haven't been updated about the situation for months, and since then you've moved away from TF2. and like Stark said, whenever anyone would ask you in your stream the answer was always "waiting for plantronics xD".

Come on man. There's no way you can cling to the notion that you've taken this seriously or are at all personally invested. You've long since moved on from TF2 as a serious endeavour and as such these sorts of lingering responsibilities are of no importance to you - you dealt with them lightheartedly at the best of times. That's completely fine but you've been caught out now so just deal with the problem and that can be that.

To be frank, I had forgotten that we hadn't actually been asked to pay for the sponsorship.

I trust Sideshow when he says he made best efforts to collect the money from Plantronics.

We'll be covering their $1,000 debt.

Starkie... Plantronics is a company with a reputation to maintain (a company so large that $1000 is paltry to them)

A reputation that won't be dented unless people make a fuss about it. Tweet their official account about their failure to honour the DHS prize pool.
