This is a bit late news though, Hellspawn tweeted about it way before Xlord and since Hellspawn is one of the DHW admins you can trust him when he tweets " All the korean players from APEX have withdrawn their paticipation from Bucharest"
XlorD never tweeted anything! OP confused XlorD and Hellspawn, don't ask me how  .

This is unfortunate.. but it seems like this was kind of expected?
|
It's really sad, but some of these teams throw out huge numbers and players are easily seduced by the dollar or in this case it'd be the euro...When this team was announced I was waiting for this to happen. It was a lot sooner tbh..

myeah seoul-bucharest fly ticket cost a lot . much more then i would have expected

Vines and TOP have changed their twitter ids back to what they were when they were teamless
Guess they might have "left" the team
|
In other news Apex esports have changed their name to Nadir esports. Good job guys!
What a week it's been.

Vines just answered to a fan who wants him to stream again:
"yeah~ i want, but now very busy because team problem :D"

So this team already short on money ? I really hope that that is not the case and that there are other reasons for it.
They are not short on money. They set up some office somewhere in DE, Munich I think. I've heard from ex-apeX mangers that besides the office being really expensive, they're paying ~6k/month for internet and phones alone. The owner is really rich because of some family business or something. Anyways, I think the owner went into the business expecting to make some money out of it, as he was taking some percentage from their CoD teams winnings. This is kind of silly because some of the prize pools for CoD are really small (~3k for first place at the most recent EGL event). So they have money but he does not want to give it to players or something like that. The company is pretty whack and as long as they have the same problems (booking plane tickets at the very last, last minute, management - player communication, etc.) I would say that players are going to be leaving really fast, and a lot of people have.

I've pretty much heard the same story about this particular team; Basically they have money and resources, its just that they don't seem to give a damn, only reason is that they want to make a quick buck.

seems like they have some real problems according to tops/vines twitters T.T

yea its common knowledge (at least in the german szene) that apex management sucks
too bad that koreans are in such a bad spot (all-in on esports) that they take every straw
a shame

Fuck I hoped that Inca will win :/
|
I think they wasnt able to send them to DH cause they have no money!
|
Meh, it's too late, I wonder who will take the free spots on such short notice (if that will ever happen) :S
|
Damn it. I am really tired of teams being so freaking sketchy.
|
thtas razy i would what would lead to them pulling out
|
So has there been a reason or statement as to why these players were unable to attend DH? Are they still on apeX?
