someone said on stream earlier that the sfxt bonus was restored? anyone know if there’s any truth to that?
there’s also this: http://s0meperson.tumblr.com/post/29652972911/what-a-way-to-start-revelations-2012
wouldn’t be surprised if the kof guys bailing allowed them to use that money to pay for sfxt.
CEO 2011.
NONE of this should be a surprise. Its ActiveGamers Triple Threat all over.
The only reason SoCal Regionals that John Nelson was involved with did fail is because of Valle and his crew. Had John Nelson been 100% in charge, same thing.
Thank God Valle and Co dumped him before he took them down.
I know FAR TOO MUCH about the TL/AG ass clown. Unfortunately PrimeTimeGamers (MW3/GOW3 TO) and MikeHAZE (Smash TO), personal friends of mine, are likely to get wrecked in this also.
HAHAHAHA this thread is great. Revelations all around hahahaha
Not really, I’m targeting John Nelson. But hey, if you’d like to put words in my mouth go for it. By the way, it’s not like the rest of TL are a bunch of blameless saints, and it’s not like we’re overreacting. There’s a laundry list of shit they’ve done that’s pretty fucking inexcusable.
And for the record, I’m not looking to get my money back. It’s 60 dollars, and I pretty much work within contracts at this point. TBH, I could’ve taken him to small claims but it’s not worth it at this point. People like that are assholes, and deserve whats coming to em.
And again, Slaser, what the fuck is your point? We’re not overreacting here, this shit has been a literal PLAGUE on the socal fgc for the last 3 years. We should just leave this asshole alone for all he’s done? We should let his company thrive for all the shit he’s put people through? This isn’t “TeamHAZMAT is shady” or “Maximilian is shady” it’s “John Nelson and TL are shady and a bunch of scumbags and they should be ostracized.”
kthx.
So…4200 of the SFXT pot went to that.
The other 3 on him getting high?
Smashers is how it all started at Triple Threat. They bailed on him at Triple Threat after he jacked the start time and entry fee’s around., which directly affected the lack of $$ for payouts to other games, because he is horrible with money and thinks he has deals cut that he does not have cut and counts chickens before there is even an egg in the nest.
For the record, Lap’s txt’s from that night were GDLK. And I’m glad things panned out they way they did too man.
I heard that for Revelations 2011 he neglected to get a written contract signed with the venue, so the week before the tournament the venue is like, “Actually, give us thousands more dollars or we’re canceling your event,” so Nelson had to pay up and therefore had even less money to pay with. I dunno that that’s true, but a couple people have said that to me.
Anyways sucks that this year’s event is ass too. I tried to mostly stay out of the anti Rev/Nelson stuff just cause people can do whatever, I aint their pappy, but now I feel bad. Good on the KoF community for walking out.
With respect to payouts and future John Nelson enterprises in the FGC, the law wranglin’ side of me will be paying close attention.
YES it is.
“DO NOT miss this MIND-BLOWING event! It will be one to remember for all time!”

Don’t fuck with him John. This man hunted me and my friend just for funsies. Guns and swords were USELESS against subpoenas and legal demons.
Just got done watching Run It back, which was a great documentary redrapper and John Nelson comes off as totally clueless to how to handle any games tournament scene. All i got from that interview was he knows how to rent a venue and get some setups to play on. He basically said he was a man with “good” intentions who didn’t know what he was doing and he was completely fine with his ineptness. He sounded like an awful businessman from the 2 minutes or so i heard him speak
hell, mew2king mentioned awhile ago that activegamers screwed him over big time on sponsorship-related stuff, although a friend is getting in contact with him to find out more. I didn’t even know Revelations were ran by the same guys.
So, uh, where exactly is the money coming from? Looking at the list of sponsors they’ve been showing on their stream, there’s no way they provided $50k when even well-established majors that people actually go to (98 for AE at Revelations, lol) can’t get close to that much.
I’ve heard explanations from people that I personally trust, but since I’m just some guy on the internet there’s not much point going into them and stirring the pot without any evidence…
maybe due to CoD etc dem e-sportz muhney.
I kinda wish all this would have come out before I registered for the event. All I had heard before today was people cursing about TL for no coherent reason.

This bad business practice and shadyness wouldn’t fly in the east coast or the south. Just saying.
