OMG you guys got ****ing tossed.

This is where experience comes into play. When some douchebags say they got ESPN and REDBULL coming, and you've never heard of the host... it's bull****.

When the venue is at Dave and Busters, a place that has NEVER EVER had a non shady smash tournament... it's bull****.

If you feel a tournament may be bull****, do your best to contact the Host through aim.
1. If he's never on, it's bull****
2. If he doesn't respond, it's bull****
3. If he tries to tell YOU how it is, when it isn't. It's bull****
4. If he has more than 2 X's in his screen name, it's bull****.
5. If he says they are hosting other non smash tournaments, and the guy you are speaking to doesn't work for MLG, it's bull****.

Learn your lessons people. Unless these guys are master con artists, there's no reason for one to have driven out 5 hours to this piece of **** unless you had no other tournament to go to.

POST that freakin address. ZZZZ is right, they need pizzas. Make sure it's expensive.

Hugs, that's uncalled for.

Gamers Universe 1 was actually a success, very well run tournament, and it was hosted by the same people.

Sure, this tournament was a PoS, from what I hear, but that doesn't mean you have to do things out of spite and assume things that don't make any sense at all.

P.S. Don't blame Dreamhack, blame DANE. It was not Dreamhack's fault. I understand Dane took money/told lies/was a general jerk.

Well Hack was just mainly responsible for the advertising for the tourney. That is why most people mix him up as the Host. Sweet tooth was the man who got the venue and everything else. What really is accountable for this tourney singles fail was D&B. They double booked. They didnt allow everyone to just rush in and sign in. I heard they even jacked up the price or the room.

****ing A. I still feel pretty bad for the CV. This is, I think, the second Brawl tournament in SD you guys have came to that turned out to be ****. Let's face it, it's not like you guys are driving only an hour or two to get here.

**** pizza. I know some sleeper cells who will send him a fake check dusted with anthrax.

all good dude ya so far the sd tournies weve been to have turned out to be really bad. but than again, the two weve been to were hosted by dreamhack who is straight ****in up. so were just gonna stop goin to dreamhacks tournies. we might go to sd for other tournies, if good tourney organizers are gonna hold it (i.e azn lep or rickity). So, not SD's fault, dreamhack and daves fault.

the first gamers universe went well because Rickety ran the bracket and i supervised and called matches.
the second one, i didn't go to but heard it was switched to single elim. and turned out to be pretty much garbage.

It was dreamhack's tournament so he is completely responsible for everything that went wrong. With that said, it is his responsibility to straighten out everything in regards to the missing money. Since no one who entered singles has been refunded, and the singles bracket didn't finish, he needs to get the money and refund or pay for it out of his own pocket. If you take on the responsibility of hosting a tournament, then anything that goes wrong comes out of your pocket, plain and simple.

I heard he wasn't even there half the time, which is completely unacceptable.

The issue of people getting in who were under 21, i addressed in the thread earlier in the week, and got the response they'd be escorted in. These things should have been figured out way before the venue was even booked.
If you are going to post that you are holding a tournament, you CAN NOT depend on someone else to book the venue, run the tournament, monitor the money. No matter what this dane guy did (which is all pretty f'd up), dreamhack is responsible and needs to not only admit to screwing up (which he already did) but needs to straighten out this missing money issue immediately.

And dreamhack, you also need to explain why ESPN wasn't there.

That said, I'm hella glad I didn't spend $80 to take the train to this like i was planning to.

worst pos tourny ever LOL
all of the things that went wrong could have been prevented and/or avoided and even though this would have been my 5th tournament i can safely say that this really was the worst tournament ever.
no venue fee was mentioned before the tourney (kinda shady, no?)
i had to ask some random lady to let me in with her (totaly preventable if there was no age restriction)
inside there was no real buffet like everyone expected which was gone in 5 minutes (preventable with keeping people w/o a meal ticket out)
tournament started late (age restriction kept everyone out, but then again i heve never been to a tourney that starts on time )
my team was dq'ed because we didnt hear our name over all the people and noise (you could have used the sound system in that room or at least a megaphone)
singles turns into single elimination (tourney did not start on time and the wedding that appeared aout of nowhere)
we get moved out (check the schedule and book the room for a time that would let you finish the tourney and get some friendlies in at the end)
dane selling E (for "teh lulz" which were needed)

at least i met some cool new people thats the only upside to this tourney
hack just dump dane for these things a lot of the smashers have experience running these things so you have a good team of experienced organizers and oats who can yell and be heard a mile away idk why you havent come to them for help or stuff.
you just cant pull out a tourney out of thin air like a wedding rehearsal lol

Dane promised a bunch of people at Luna Games that he would give them free admission into his next tourney in lieu of a refund. Did he follow through with that or was that a ****ing scam as well?

Nezumi's right. If Dreamhack says he takes full responsibility, he needs to take FULL RESPONSIBILITY. I forgot that ESPN was supposed to be there. and all this missing money, wtf was that about? Dane told Ripn and I that because we couldnt continue the rest of the tourney at D&B, that they would refund him the money for the extra hours we didnt use and he would give the winning teams the refunded money evenly (60 30 10), but he didnt. Hack owes us money


On a side note, when are the videos going to be posted from this tourney?
I noticed the commentary and what appeared to be a live feed that was tight ^__^

IMPORTANT Please Read!

Ok, First off I want to come out and say a huge SORRY to everyone that came out to this and especially to the people who drove down hours to this event! Imma come out and say that this was a complete waste of time and money!!!! I want to also say that Rickety, Azn Lep, and Havok had absolutely nothing to do with this tournament so please don't go off and think that they were involved in this because they indeed weren't! Next, for those that went to the tournament could tell you that it was indeed one GREAT BIG SH*T STORM after another! A number of things went wrong one right after the other! I feel terrible for what had happened but I take FULL RESPONSIBILITY for everything that happened! I blame myself for trusting Dane and for believe that he had everything squared away. You can point the finger and say it was Dane's fault, My fault, or D&B fault, but again, I take full responsibility for what happened! I hope this doesn't leave a sour taste in your mouth and make you think that SD is terrible at hosting tourneys cause we really don't. We had countless problems which ultimately made this tournament a complete failure, and for that I agologize! I hope everyone can Forgive and Forget and I sure as HELL hope you don't hold all of SD accountable for this because its not their fault.... Like I said Blame me not them!!! I hope to see all of you around at any other future tournies here in SD!

Now, Of course people are just gonna talk mad sh*t about me, dane, and everyone that was involved and I know I can't stop you guys from doing that! But people stop spreading Bull sh*t rumors that are not even remotely true! Me and Dane are not f*cking con artist or none of that sh*t and we didn't go off and split the money and leave DSF & Ajax nothing! If you even talk to DSF or Ajax or even some of the CV guys they'll tell you how F*cking bad I felt cause this all turned to SH*T and especially to all the people that drove down hours to pretty much waste there time! I sent DSF Dane's info and there in contact and yes Dane is gonna pay them! All I do for Dane is advertise the tournament for him. He tells me the sponsors and everything and all I do is post it! Now about the sponsors Dane is on ESPN RADIO and has his own show he was gonna interview the winners and they were gonna appear on Dane's show but since everything got F*ucked up that didn't end up happening! Also for those that were at LUNA GAMES know that Dane does have Red Bull connections and were a sponsor in the event and helped pay for some of the venue fees they were supposed to show up and dish out free drinks and I have no Idea where they were and why they didn't show up??? Thats how I'm associated with Dane and him taking out a percentage from the pot is his call I just do what he says cause he pays me for it.... he has a hold of the money I haven't seen a cent of it and its all making me look like Sh*t as well and like I said above, the tournament was posted under my name and my thread so I take full responsibility for it even though I had no control when everything went to Sh*t! For those of you that really know me and have chilled and hung out with me IM NOT A F*CKING CROOK or NOTHING LIKE THAT! Imma cool chill person and now cause of this going the way it did my name and everything is going to crap! This was just a series of unfortunate events that happened one right after the other!!! Im sorry for cursing so much and everything but I had to speak my mind about this and please if you don't really know what happened don't be making up some BULL SH*T! Sorry for everyone that came out and wasted their time and money and I just hope you can forgive me and hope you don't think that SD has a terrible smash scene cause we really DON'T and Again I'm really SORRY about the event and I wanna say SORRY to SD for thrashing our name..... :(

it is your fault and it is your problem for letting him run YOUR tourny. Get your **** together. if its your tourney take care of it. dont rely on someone else for it. and it wasnt just the money issue, the tournament was badly organized anyway. your lucky people like hall, oats, rickity and azn lep were there or else the tourney probably wouldnt even have happened. all in all, your fault, and an apology is not going to make everything ok. so pretty much, im sure half of the community is just not going to go to your tournaments, seeing as all three have turned out to be really bad. and no, we dont know that dane has connections with red bull, seeing as at luna games he took money out of the pot to BUY red bull and pizza that was supposedly free. what did he first place get at that tournament? like 80 bux?? thats just ***** ridiculous. way to **** up


edit: i suggest you dont do another tournament dreamhack, seeing as you will probably get virtually no turn out at all. btw, did you buy any E from dane?

W/e I know that Sh*t Sucked ***! Your just repeating the same SH*T I already know! I know thats what I F*cking get for trusting in DANE and believing he had everything squared away! At least Im coming out and saying that I F*cked up! Dane has the money I've been trying to talk to him about that I didn't touch the money it wasn't in my possession! At least im coming out and saying sorry for all the BULL**** that happened! It would've been worst me not saying SH*T and just been a complete D*CK about it! Im trying to make it RIGHT and not just sitting back chilling with the "MONEY, ME AND DANE SPLIT!" *Sarcastic* d-_-b
