Don't stir up any country bashing here, ok? Interesting find though, I didnt know this guy did some scams in the fast. That certainly fucks over his reputation. | ||

Now I do not know if that was the reason, but, I often see these vilification threads on TL and people start jumping on the band wagon before hearing both sides of the story. However, the accusations could all be true of course, but with only one side of a coin one should always be threading carefully. | ||

The fuck are you, some 18 year old frosh in college who thinks he knows everything about the business world? Ten people want to go to the MoW. Two of them are big names. When negotiating all of the contracts, the house wants to find a way to keep everyone happy but also to keep itself sustained, financially. I know how much you all BLEED E-SPORTS but money is kind of fucking important, the real world doesn't run on HOPES AND DREAMS AND RAINBOWS. If there were no NDAs to negotiate contracts, the two big name players see that they have to pay a bit more to stay at the house than the smaller players. Now all of a sudden they feel ripped off, and they don't want to go because they feel like they're subsidizing the existence of everyone else there. Now they pull out and the 8 smaller names all have to pay a larger share than they can afford, etc...etc... Or take teams for instance. You don't think there's an NDA attached to every single contract that a player signs? What if Stephano was being negotiated with and he thought he was worth 2X as much as HuK, and he was able to read HuK's contract exactly. EG now has no ability to negotiate with him. etc...etc...etc... There are reasons NDA's and NCC's exist in the business world, and it's not that "something fishy HURR DURR" is going on. It's because people want to protect their financial interests and their ability to operate as a business. So why do you say stuff like: "As for the 'not allowed to stay at another house in 10 years,' that's not true, you're just not allowed to start your own team house in 10 years." ? Apparently you only have access to your own contract, therefore (following your logic) you dont know shit what's in Fuzer's contract. Take your own fucking advice. | ||

Let me tell you, 5 hours of streamed practice is much worse than 5 hours of normal practice... That's just my experience. I think it's okay that they get a cut of the money but... :'/ | ||

Actually if it goes to court and there was no signed contract while say he stayed for 1-5 or so days it should hold up that he gets his money back. You can't invite people to an establishment, take their money and because they want a lawyer to look over the documents kick them out and steal their money. you don't always get what you wish for #YOLO | ||

You should've asked for it, and got someone fluent in English (hell, even from TL) BEFORE leaving Finland. b) Never enter into a costly venture without first making sure everything is understood (and thus, a contract the terms of which are mutually agreed to by the parties). c) Non compete clauses are not uncommon, particularly in employment contracts for fields of businesses which might be deemed 'innovative'. d) A non-compete clause would be extremely hard and costly for MoW to enforce, especially if you're in a different country. e) The contract talks about setting up a house yourself, or becoming a coach in such a house; it is NOT a prohibition from entering any other gaming house - this is just misinformation. f) Whoever said that the contract needed to be in Finnish is wrong. Some contracts must be translated, such as transactions involving immovable property etc, but not a rendition of service and a revenue share agreement like this one. (this might differ from country to country, but I doubt that it is widely different across continental Europe). g) As regards the money from streaming, it's unfair of them not to have mentioned it (though it was pretty obvious, as the MoW guys have talked about them scheduling streams from their players in interviews etc in the past), even so, people should condemn them for not having mentioned it, but not for asking for it. This is a very time-consuming business at the end of the day, they have a right to make money off it, particularly since they're the only people who offer such a service (unless you're on one of the few teams owning a house). You are wrong sir. He payed 600 EUR he entered the house and played. for him his deal was done. Then contracts came up with the things he dislike and they started the discussion. It's not about going to your first day of work without knowing how much you will earn or how things work. It's more like a commercial trade. Give me money. I provide you stuff. And suddenly later on a contract with EXTRA stuff appears. | ||

Better be feeding them hella good... oh wait You're from the U.S. That rent, by U.S. standards, would be atrociously insufficient. Of course, it may be in the middle of buttfuck nowhere, I don't know, but considering the services provided, I would say they could not come even close to covering their costs with 7200 euros per month. It's simply not realistic. Also, streaming revenue is highly dependent on the player. If you're one of the people with 120 viewers, your streaming revenue is negligible anyways. MoW is meant to be a business. While I think the 10-year thing is ridiculous if true concerning joining another team, it is completely reasonable in terms of opening a house of their own (assuming it's for-profit). I would assume streaming revenue couldn't be taken on their "days off" like weekends or whatever as well. The fact food is even supplied at 600 Euros a month, with gas/water, Internet/utilities, and the actual amount of equipment and services provided, is once again, in my eyes, a fucking steal. I'd bet if they disclosed their financial statements you'd find they'd be operating on a very marginal profit margin. I'd be surprised if they've been able to even recoup their initial total investment, which is most likely leveraged in the first place and thus they'll also have to pay interest. People that think the costs to the players are ridiculous are people that have absolutely no concept of finances. | ||

There's no reason for them to change that NCC part of the contract. The only thing in the contract that will vary from player to player will be exact $$$ amounts and maybe length of stay. For them to randomly insert clauses in some contracts defies reason. | ||
