With all this turmoil around us, we owe you an explanation. See you in 12 hours (2 pm CET) on our website which will turn into a press release. A statement which we hope will clarify things. http://www.eclypsia.com

Pretty stupid. You owe Welmu an explanation, and Welmu is satisfied, he can tell us what you've agreed upon.

I can't stand the constant need for organizations to send public messages for what should otherwise be private/internal dealings. Welmu created the thread out of necessity due to his inability to privately contact you guys. Now that the public has rallied to get your attention, settle things with him, and allow him to clear things up.

Unless something that he's saying is completely off-base, there's no need for you to create a "public statement" since you should have been responsible to deal with this internally to begin with. Sure, your brand has been tarnished, but the best way it can be restored is to appropriately make amends with the one who has been victimized.

This whole announcement of an announcement thing has gotten out of hand.


You still haven't figured out this is just a publicity stunt?
99% sure Welmu and the other guys are just playing along

Either way its a pretty sad stunt or action. If they actually want to get business out of this in the long run I doubt it succeeds. Maybe its just their idea of a shitty joke though.

This would be a silly joke that will only hurt their team - if it's even a joke.

Something such as Blizzard's last April Fools patch notes were funny.

If this turns out to be a hoax (which it pretty much does at this point...) doesn't it violate TL's advertisement policy?

Oh my goodness, this made me laugh so hard. Thank you man, thank you so much.


I'm going to go ahead and assume, especially with this going to be the first press release on the site that this is in fact an april fools joke. Personally, I love the kind of april fools joke that really makes people question stuff, gets the brain working and thinking!

If this is not an april fools joke... because I'd feel so bad for Slog.. and Eclypsia looked really promising ;~; Plus, the above would just make me look like a jerk >.>

I feel bad for the players, but if this is an April Fools joke, some dude or group really had a lot of fucking free time to put this together.

Come on, dude.

Having to pay for your own travel expenses, expecting to be reimbursed, didn't set off any alarms?

Some organizations do this actually, and it's totally fine. As long as you have a contract.

Hello guys,

I joined a new team, Eclypsia, on March 8th. I put a lot of confidence in them, declining other offers. Eclypsia seemed very ambitious with a large budget, good contacts and a solid plan to give the players they recruited the best possible conditions to improve. Everything went fine at first, wages paid by the hour, very good coaching, superb communication. No reason to worry.

Then the Copenhagen Games approached. In accordance with what had been agreed, I booked the hotel and flight myself, on the understanding I’d be payed back along with my salary... But my salary has not been paid for nearly two weeks. In that time I’ve had enormous problems getting in touch with representatives of the team. It seemed hard to believe that this was a coincidence and I started to worry a lot.

After speaking to my teammates it seems that I am far from alone in this case. Eclypsia seems to have stopped responding.

I didn’t want to have to resort to these methods, but it seems obvious now that I will not receive my salary, that the countdown to the launch of their website www.eclypsia.com was actually a scam, and that they have screwed us.

Welmu


So you changed your ID to represent this new team, they paid you some money but not all they promised, and then tricked you into buying your own plane ticket?

You were not screwed. This is not called a "scam". This is called "a group of children playing at business and someone fell down and skinned his knee". Change your ID back and enjoy the trip you paid for.

Hilarious @ everyone telling you to sue. As if a typical pro Starcraft player contract is for enough of a salary to cover the cost of office supplies and gas to file the lawsuit.

Are you joking? I know april fools day (here atleast) is tomorrow so are you trying to troll or something? He hasn't been paid, hasn't been able to contact his employers for 2 weeks, an apparently the same for players on the team. This is a pretty serious situation an you taking it lightly like this is just wrong so I think you need to straighten up man cause this is disgustingly wrong.

The same thing recently happened to me. I was sent a cheque in the mail and asked to return the funds immediately, before the cheque cleared. The cheque did not clear.

I am informing the democratic republic of Zaire and everyone on TL.net to watch out for such activity

This is the worst April Fool's joke ever, if it's an April Fool's joke. I once thought it would be a funny April Fool's joke to get a genuine HIV test, and change everything so that it says that I'm HIV positive and post it on my facebook wall because I thought it would be funny. Thankfully I thought twice and realized that the potential future negative aspects of claiming I have HIV when I do not severely outweighed anything positive that could come out of it.

That is sort of the equivalent of what this is, because even if it was a joke, it's a joke that hurts Eclypsia more than it gains them anything. It doesn't display good humor and doesn't put their organization in a positive light what so ever. If this is a joke I would expect sponsors to pull out immediately. I wouldn't want my brand associated with an organization whose management thinks it's funny to announce to the world that they're a shit organization who won't reimburse players for flights and hotel, dodges attempted communication and potentially runs off with sponsor money.


Well there is a famous phrase "bad publicity is good publicity" and because Eclypsia are not a well known team maybe they are doing this just to get publicity. I mean it would fucking so stupid but more stupid things have been done.


No. The famous phrase is, (and I'm paraphrasing), ~Any publicity is good publicity~ Bad publicity is the exact opposite of good, which is bad. This is not in any way good publicity. This only hurts their organization.


Good publicity = Good publicity

Bad(any) publicity = Good publicity

Hence any publicity = Good publicity... same thing said differently...

Also you can't compare this to orb, soooooooooooooooooo different.


The orb situation blasted EG with so much bad publicity that they were forced to fire him. Can you explain that to me how it was good publicity for EG or orb? All forms of publicity are not created equal. There is a point of no return where bad publicity hurts the organization.

It's a discussion on when publicity hurts organizations. It's not different at all, because in both cases it will end up hurting the organization.


It was good in the manner that EG made a statement and obliged with the community so to speak. This made them "heroes" in a sense, they showed that they do not tolerate racism and they did the right thing etc etc. They took a stand and ppl will applaude shit like that.
