what good would that do sixjax anyway? if they actually do sue one of their previous member, everybody is just gonna turn their back on sixjax and their organization goes down the drain....

In that case, they will certainly drag the shit out if they want to. Let me do the simple math for you, $350/hr court cost, $150/hr office cost. If sixjax wants to play ugly, they can drag the case up for two weeks. The in-court fees can easily go over 100 hours and out-of-court will double that amount. Even if sixjax lost, the legal fees would be in the tens of thousands. If sixjax wants to play dirty and use the court as a weapon, as alluded to by skew and major. That, will be life-ruining. Not even considering all the mental and familial strain all these will result.

LOL. Sorry, I just had to quote this for truth. Some people on this board have no sense of perspective.

The truth is guys, it's just as likely that Sixjax is having financial difficulties and can no longer afford to fully fund a Starcraft 2 team (we are still in a worldwide recession after all).
So while we can argue about this and that, we should all just be sad that another company attempted to get into E-Sports, maybe didn't budget correctly at the outset, and are now going to be forced to withdraw from the scene.
The same could be said about Pokerstars/Root. At least IGN decided to start up Reign.

Yea I think it's safe to say that Sixjax players shouldn't worry about being sued if they leave the team lol. Then again this whole discussion is based on Skew's unsubstantiated claim that Sixjax is actually threatening to sue on a regular basis, which as Destiny pointed out is a ridiculous claim to make without backing it up...

Well this isn't suprising.
Too bad for Sixjax and MajOr.

Well all the dirty laundry is getting aired out already, so we'll see if Sixjax will sue Skew and Major. I don't think it will come to that, because that's a shitload of really bad PR. If it did happen, Artosis would definitely leave, screw contracts, and he would talk about it in GSL and SOTG. I expect the community would launch a defense fund as well - there are plenty of rich SC fans out there.

Please, if you have no idea what you're talking about, refrain from making these kinds of comments. There's NO possible way that a contract that involves a $300/month salary and free travel to "some" paid events would ever result in someone getting sued for a life-changing amount of money. Just because it sounds life-changing to someone in high school doesn't mean it would ruin someone's life.
He said ruin, not life-changing. Ruin can mean a number of things as a verb, for example hinder. But i really can't be bothered to get into an eight hour semantics debate. I'm pretty sure when skew said it, he realised that it wasn't going to change the players lives who leave forever. You're clutching at straws.
And please just stop with the 'you sound like a 14 year old/you must be silver.' argument. It's just stupid. I probably make more money than you ffs.

LOL Primadog you have certainly been watching a lot of court dramas haven't you  I wish. Been through these shit way too many times. It sucks balls. Well then, for you to have gone to trial on multiple occasions I feel very sorry for you  But you must have been dealing with legal issues far beyond what Major's contract with Sixjax contained. Especially if Sixjax couldn't even be bothered to pay for Juan's travel.
Bothered to pay probably had more to do with simply not wanting to send him vs. not being able to afford. As far as legal ramifications we can't/don't know contracts can be written in to crazy stuff far beyond what most people would think of as fair. Not to mention it's fairly easy to prey on people who don't know the legal system well (90+% of people) and using intimidation when you are a cooperation vs a single family happens a LOT. Regardless of if the contract allows a player to be sued for a large sum of money or not, many people would simply be intimated in to thinking that being sued would automatically result in huge problems for them. Lawsuits are also unknowns especially in the US where common sense would seem to be obvious but the actual result is far from it. If by some means one party was able to delay the court proceedings to last multiple days the court costs are stupidly high.
Life ruining money is up to the individual person, to some it is very high but to others it is not. For some people added charges of a few thousand could lead to bankruptcy (sadly not that rare). Which is life changing and depending on age ruining.
Without knowing the specifics of the contract (hopefully the one on reddit gets released) anything about the nature of the legal possibilities are simply that possibilities. Pretending to know otherwise would be a fallacy.

LOL Slider why don't you post the national enquirer while you are at it?
All of those lawsuits involve TORTS which are injuries to a person. Major is facing a contract dispute, a dispute over his "performance" no less. Like everyone else keeps saying, his legal problems would pail in comparison to personal injury lawsuits.
P.S. 90% of all lawsuits never go to trial.

If you get sued by a company that can throw money away, they have nothing to lose. I don't care about the terms used (like destiny is arguing), whether the case is life-ruining or not, that is ridiculous.
Actually, company's should sue as a last resort, always. It's expensive, time consuming, and allows your issues to be settled by intermediaries and third parties, where you're unlikely to get what you wanted originally. It forces both sides to double-down on their positions, making it impossible to reach a reasonable compromise. Not to mention that it's horrible for your image.
Not matter what Major may or may not have done, Sixjax blindly threatening to sue a dirt-poor gamer is a stupid way to do business. It's the kind of scrub, hacky tactic that shitty managers use to intimidate people. They would lose more than they would gain.

lol not a single player would be on Sixjax right now if they weren't afraid of being sued Elaborate or what the fuck was the point of chiming in? Just to stir up some stupid drama? It's not my place to tell you the specifics of why players on Sixjax don't like it, but to point out the fact that MajOr isn't the only one that is unhappy. So certain folks acting like he got removed because of the SEA shit or because he clan hops is a retard. And I guess I should say it's to do with Sixjax specifically, not Evoli or Artosis. How anyone could NOT like either of those guys. Basically we have a lot of "progamers" spending 9-5s months on end practicing SC2 for our enjoyment, and they're taken advantage of by companies (teams) that don't even PRETEND to give a shit. Yea, maybe it's not their place to. Sixjax isn't the only one to blame though, but with the recent incidents it just solidifies how fucking little they care. They basically get free advertising for .50 cents an hour (think about that) with the only promise that the players would get to go to a single LAN event to grow their names, and then they're like "Ahhhhh shit we forgot about that event guys, but at least we pay you in monopoly money to make up for it! And here's a free shirt with our retarded ass logo to go with it so you can brag about doing something and not getting paid for it!" Oh and even though we don't do shit for you, if you try to leave we'll ruin you and your family's life (nah that part had to be made up right?) ESPORTS! thanks for the explanation Give me a fucking break. First of all, if they aren't paying for you to go to MLG, they can't afford to hire a lawyer to sue you in the first place. Second of all, you probably can't get sued because there are a ton of ways to get out of it. Third, and this is probably most important of all, the only reason they would ever sue you is for damages. These damages would have to cover the amount of money they use to sue you (hiring a lawyer that they can't afford) and not to mention, you would have to have money in the first place. Given that you are all gamers playing 9-5 for months on end (as mentioned in your post), I doubt you have any fucking money whatsoever. So therefore "lol not a single player would be on Sixjax right now if they weren't afraid of being sued" is a fucking load of shit. Walk away from the clan if you feel like it, seriously. You are assuming that they can't afford to send people to MLG as opposed to WON'T send people there, big difference. In other words, they most likely do have the money to spend, they just don't want to spend it unless they needed to, eg legal action. Trust me... even if this ever went to being sued. Nobody would win. No one has to win, depending on how the contracts are written they defiantly would have the legal right to sue you as a player if you tried to leave your contract. Of course no one would win but it would come down to loss of money. A company that makes tons of money vs a gamer who makes very little. The company could make life very difficult for a gamer due to this. You seem to be under the impression that sixjax has money. I'm sorry ^_^. Please find one piece of information that says they dont.
