I think what frustrating to many is that some organisations seem to pull it off really welll while others say it doesnt work that way and have various explanations why not. | ||

If ESL say had transparency about the events they had and checked off the different people that where paid and the people who weren't yet it would be a lot better then blind suspicion about the people who haven't been paid yet. Not to seem like ESL is a special case but if they where they where responsible for just IEM's they'd be in the same boat as MLG but they manage so many other things that they deserve special treatment from people. I'm sure that ESL has many more problems with paying out that isn't they're fault but your not stating and so making it seem like you're not very good/ don't care enough about paying out prize money.

The idea that every tournament can instantly pay out 100% of all prize money is ridiculous. I'd much rather have a league be late on payments than not exist at all. ESports could profit from agents / player managers. | ||

These organizations really should be pushing their employees really hard to get the players paid because if they don't get paid and they stop coming, nobody will want to watch the tournament. | ||

Notice all of the American tourneys are good with their timings, because tax laws are different there. As someone who has worked in the tax industry, here in the UK things are quite late (strangely enough, 2-3 months....) | ||

I won French EPS Season IX in 2010 and ended 3rd the Season X this year, I'm still waiting my money. Is there any particular problem with French ESL ? Since someone told me that we should be paid around 6 months.... Thanks for your answer | ||

My question is, why did Cloud have to wait 11 months (December 2010 2nd place in EPS Germany) to get his money or even get acknowledged? Was it explicitly stated that this tournament would take 12 months or longer for payouts to occur? My point in making this post is that I think you guys need to have a meeting or something and seriously rethink the process you use to determine who gets paid and when. 90 days is understandable, 6 months is pushing it, 11 months is ridiculous. | ||

From reading some of these replies it makes feel a little shameful that I used to post the same on such topics, it's very hard to put perspective to people on how many variables are in one situation as to them its all just white and black. I hope that people understand that if one thing that was said is true the opposite is not always false. Good luck in the future i hope this thread brings good things more then bad, at least it will filter out some stupid people watching your tournaments. | ||

It is obviously not ideal, but not the worst thing in the world. I just wish they would take some action to say "Look, we are changing this. That means we will definitely be paying earlier." they did say that d) The average prize money delay differs between individual tournaments, but it's not as bad as it's made out to be. Obviously it should not happen. People at ESL are aware of it and are working to make sure everything gets paid and that the delay in prize money goes away. | ||
