If a team cannot fulfil that they are definitely overextending themselves and you should be warned. | ||

He said nothing about this, but this sounds really weird. A lot of people has been talking about this, and it's been really serious. Why would any1 ever troll 5 very good players and a whole community to get nothing out of it ? There gotta be something wrong, I'm quite sure they're not scamming you. If it was this serious and they had a lot of money, you've got to been talking to the staff via phone etc right? Well, anyhow this sounds weird. Hopefully everything will get solved. | ||

More than likely it's not a scam. At some point someone probably realized they didn't have the budget to run a team and then decided to call it quits or something. Hope you guys figure something out or find another team! | ||

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. | ||

That said, I hope you can keep us uppdated Welmu, because while 2 weeks is a long time without salary or conntact, it is by no means uncomon in the world of e-sports, perhaps they have a good reason, perhaps they don't. In any case I hope i gets solved soon. Edit: Holy_AT I don't think that an april's fool joke about your team not paying you is very good... for any of the parties. it is only bad atention and is very very serious accusation. | ||
