The Indian Gaming Carnival 2012 - Esports' Most Blatant Scam
Chapters: 00:00 - Introduction 02:08 - Early Suspicions 06:02 - Three Blind Mice 09:02 - A Very Shaky Lead-Up 18:08 - The Main Event 42:49 - Aftermath This video is basically a pseudo-documentary (or some non-fiction thing or whatever), recounting the disaster that was the Indian Gaming Carnival 2012. It has taken me about 5 months of steady work in my spare time to complete this project. This little-known gaming tournament, now over 10 years old, was both difficult and interesting to research. Much of what I have assembled here are products of contemporaneous accounts from the Indian gaming community's forums and Facebook pages, and a handful of news articles and videos from the time. While I'm confident in my research on the whole, many of the facts of this case are in the "impossible to verify" category and should be taken with a grain of salt. And, of course, even though I'm critical of those responsible for this scam, I in no way intend to spark any harassment directed at anyone -- the point of this video is entertainment, not mob justice.
