its not the same problem.
ppl left because of the long pause aris cup had, they lost motivation in the pause( i think if the cup continued straight from the start it wouldnt have failed ) and yes it did fail a bit, hopefully ari will pick it up now and finisch it soon.
lets say you go to the cinema to watch a movie. but in the middle they hold a 1 month long pause, ppl ARE going to leave whether you like it or not. u get my point?
this cup continues with or without teams that are losing motivation. your team loses motivation? thats ok admins just remove you from the cup and go on.
if a team loses interest in playing tournaments they useally lose interest in ALL tournaments not just 1.
