This is bar none the worst deal in e-sports since KESPA stopped treating b-teamers like slave labor. At least b-teamers didn't have to pay the pro-gaming house. I'm actually sitting here laughing at how bad this is.
+food problems +they don't have a housecleaning service How did anyone sign this lol? Whole drama aside, this deal is just laughable. They had a house cleaning service, We had a maid at the house 6 days a week for roughly 10 hours a day. The house was extremely clean at all times. Where did you even hear that?

Karmy, if streaming 8 hours a day is nothing then we would see tons of pros (especially Destiny and other players that make most money off streaming) streaming 8 hours a day. How come the #1 streaming in terms of hours couldn't reach 150? How come Destiny, one of the most notorious players for basically only streaming didn't reach 8 hours a day easy? How come players like DeMusliM, IdrA, and basically every Korean pro dislike streaming and say that it makes their play worse in the long run?
It's not as simple as just dismissing it and if you're going into a house and paying to train there, you might as well make the full cut of your stream and only stream if you want to. If you want to just spend the time and practice privately, that should be your choice. If you want to try and make money there, go ahead.

With all due respect as an "unknown" player you are right its really nice. But lets say Ret has to do the streaming time, how can that be practice when loads of lesser players want to play him, therefore snipe him, or he cant practice new builds during that time because he wants to save them for a specific tournament?

Well, they are claiming that Fuzer didn't clean his room (hi mom), so that doesn't sound like they had cleaning service.

To all this defending Fuzer about not signing the contract: It was MoW making a bad decision since they assumed that he would sign the contract. He paid for another month, they were just waiting for him. MoW wanted to defend their ideas, so they wanted to make sure the lawer was Legit, fuzer failed to provide that infomation.

The MoW poster said "Fuzer didn't clean his room".

He probably had the contract beforehand and therefore probably agreed to any agreement regarding streaming and whatever elese.

I think that businessmodel is not very appealing to the customers. You pay for a service and living space 600€ a month and you are obligated to stream for a vast amount of time where you can not be training effectivley, I mean how do you actually get better and how does coaching work in MOW. And in addition you have to sign a horrible contract. For me it sounds like you are paying them so that they allow you to work and then take away some of the stream revenue ? If the house is really the house depicted on the homepage the situation is bad, I mean how many players are living there at once ? 8-10 ? and mybe the trainers the cook and other staff ? IDK but it sounds very cramped and lousy to me.
If I would pay for something I deamnd quality and I would demand that it is on my terms and not that I have to pay just to do their bidding ...

O.o
It doesn't work like that in business. It's like.. you know when u buy a house. You put down a payment where you "secure" the house. Then after when you get the contract you (or your lawyer) noticed that the house isn't even his. At that time, the other party can keep that money? Of course not lol.

It wasn't 8 hours a day, What do you do while living in a pro gaming house? You play video games. I would play SC2 hours past our scheduled practice just because we were all there because we loved the game, we wanted to improve, and really it was the only thing to do at night until you went to bed. It was very easy to find time to get in a few hours of streaming. It wasn't 8 hours a day...

Fuzer shouldn't have even though about moving without a contract first while paying so much a month, At the same time MoW already stated they will never allow a player to move in without the contract signed. Why can't we just agree that mistakes were made but it's nothing to blow up about... Well that's a dismissive attitude, and with this story being less than a day old, it seems too soon to try to bury it and "put these things behind us and get on with our lives." (Pretend like they didn't happen as well).
Fear not, unless other players chime in, I see no long term damage to MoW. Fuzer aired his grievances and I think that's fine. MoW has responded, so whatever will be, will be.
The future's not ours to see.

Did you read the OP? They didnt give him time to receive the lawyers info. They gave him a deadline the same day that they asked for it.

I think the main reason is, that we all know Fuzer as a young, kinda "unprofessional" player (stalker surround against MC anyone? ) and MoW always state how proffessional they are, at least thats what i will put as main reason for this

You just cant make your own gaming house and take ideas from MoW house , this is in document. ? That's what non compete means. Sure he can compete in a tournament if you think I misunderstood.
