LOL...... It would be nice if you could just sum up what disappointed you the most into some bullet points. It'll give more insight to how Virus runs things and whether Naama's complaints are valid.


Everything naama said is valid, if I was going take a bet I would say that team will not last long, its only a matter of time.

I guess that'll just have to do. Thanks. I hope Naama can at least get some of his money back though it might be next to impossible.

FreshVegetables didnt translate one part where Manager was sometimes paying with his poker wins, maybe manager is having gambling problem and stealing some money from organisation. (just guessing based on finnish version of the article)

Virus has some pretty solid talent but their managers seem to lack a lot when it comes to ethics.

When I went to homestory cup #2 Virus said they had "booked and paid" a hotel but when I arrived there I found out that it was not paid :D It was nice to sleep on the floor of the room of Tod and Rotterdam when I had only 50e cash with me.

2-3 weeks after I left I said that I refuse to give the Intel hardwares back until I have received the salary that they owe me (it was already 1 month late, like every month) so the main manager raged and threatened me of Intel sueing me etc etc and said they will never pay it. I agreed to give the intel hardwares back when intel connected me via Email and sent an ups to get the stuff.

Every month they gave 20 different dates when salary is going to come :DDD "I go to bank tomorrow morning" "we send it on wednesday" "it comes in 5 days" "today bank close french holiday" .

When I joined virus I knew it would end pretty soon cos it was a horrible organisation, I just did it for the money. But it was pretty stupid since I basically lost all of my motivation to practice while I was in Virus but who cares its only life. I feel sorry for every player in Virus and even for some managers too, some of them were nice, dont get me wrong, e.g. shiba, illu, soonmaniac etc but the Main owner/main manager of the team was a scumbag.

Sorry to hear that bud .

Some organisations really take the piss
Tyles.772 Bobstar.223 I'm just disappointed they overhyped an announcement which would obviously cause a lot of backlash in the TL community. Sure they acquired huk, but they didn't have to rub it in our faces.

First the huge Millenium failure and now all this is coming out. Seriously, these players need to stay away from French teams, there is no accountability and it seems they can just do whatever they want with no repercussions.

It's not a suprise for anyone who follow the French scene. Not only the sponsors doesn't give money to the team, but Virus used to display Red Bull as a sponsor, which was proven false. aAa even made an article which set a huge controversy among the French scene.

I'm happy that you guys (former Virus players) stepped forward though, it might prevent other players to make the mistake of signing with them.

French scene provides so much drama, at least we're on top in one domain!

Looks like Naama should have stayed with mousesports, even tho he would have been kicked out by now. Still this decission looks even worse now, after this got released.

Now he gets no salary at all, tho most GM League players get at least something.

Well played, Naama.


I agree he should have stayed with Mouz esports. However why would he have been kicked out by now?

Why did you leave Mouz in the first place dude? Was it to be with Satiini in virus?

EDIT: The reason I say this is because Mouz has a fairly solid team IMO right now.

I don't understand how managers and people can fall short of paying the basics of a contract ._.

Man, hearing about this stuff really sucks. I'm just glad that only small teams seem to have these issue's (Usually, poor coL). Hopefully everything gets sorted out. Though I doubt that will happen. Most likely Virus will just melt away...

Absolutely every team i left in like 3-4 years - owed me some money, from pretty small sum with mouz-es which i even didn't request from them to return to me up to pretty big sum from ESC which me and W-Ra tried to return during like 1 year but without any success. That's cybersport Naama, so you better forget about this stuff and just move forward.



Well this is thoroughly depressing...

Even if they should just let it go, it should be made apparent that these things aren't entirely acceptable.

As he said, it was because of the money they offered him.

Haha, I thought this was in reference to the player Virus for a moment. Was like "Hm? Did he lose a bet or something?".
