Dear Mr. Snoxd,
FYI, PIKOM is not only the organizer, they are also the one who provides the venue which is at PIKOM ICT MALL at Capsquare.
Wonder if you went there during WCG 2011 and saw how CS 1.6 play. If not, you better stop your accusations on Govt needs to change and what not.
Honestly, I am not a supporter of BN but with people like you mixing e-sports with politics, you just making things worst.
And yet YOU HAVEN'T ANSWER MY QUESTION YET.
If you can assure that PR can support these gamers' rights (especially youths), I believe these young guns are ready to vote for PR.
Sorry but sometimes because people like you, we felt under-appreciated. Si_Jali have worked so hard to get venues and sponsors and even established Spotgamers and yet you still think the whole scene is to blame because Malaysia didn't send CS 1.6 team to WCG.
Please, don't make the scene worst while it's on the route of getting bigger.
PIKOM is a sponsored mean they must set aside these fund to accomodate for the event. How can PIKOM then complain about not getting enough to sponsor and blame on players not able to beat international team and waste of sponsor money.
Tomorrow will be a good match, our neighbor Indonesia CS contingent managed to squeeze in the last 12 final against France team Gillaume_NTEP
The intense match to watch will be Ukraine DTS vs Sweden SK Gaming
How Pikom do their budget? sponsor is under expenditure line item, whereas you don't recognize revenue to compensate for electricity, rental etc because those are not consider sponsor it is daily operation whether you incur or not is a fixed expenditure PIKOM will have to bear. Unless Pikom charge from sponsor (pool of money) then they can't claim that PIKOM is venue sponsor. The definition of venue sponsor is PIKOM provide the entire venue free of charge to cover the entire event and receive no money. It is not consider sponsor if the organizer charge a bill at the end of event and recognize both income and expense to net off the book difference in PIKOM account sure there are balance in PIKOM account after transferring all the prize money or cash out to the winners. So what is the balance after deducting sponsorship to 2011 WCG, no more or not enough? or don't want to waste PIKOM money, and 2012 and 2013 will be the same excuse since all sponsor are consider "Money Not Enough" or waste of money for these team especially CS.
Every year also Money no Enough but root cause is not tackle, it must be rectified else things will be the same for 2012 and 2013. What happen to 2001 and those glory year where CS team were sent? what is going on? I believe those who have voice out already been shoot dead by you so what is the point, so just let it goes on and on. Let's eat rice and enjoy a good sleep then wake up tomorrow will be better 2012 and 2013 can see some CS talents from Malaysia competing in China.
One guy doesn't work, you need a team of people as well as people who can voice out the root cause of why Malaysia can't afford to send representative to compete. How do you judge success? you mean success to organize in local only? there must be higher level Malaysian can do like consistently sending team to participate overseas, and this will encourage more sponsor participants. Nobody is pointing a finger, but it is clear how he react when people barking at some concern, but that doesn't mean criticism should be silenced. Do anyone benchmark and learn how Indonesia do it?
