This should be a much bigger deal than the SlayerS thing.

This really indicates a sad trend of these new teams arising out of nowhere, and then badly managing themselves and screwing over the players. It's really a shame that this is still so common, and shouldn't be allowed to happen. Players need to start being more aware and people need to start calling these people on their bullshit.

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.



at the same time you don't start a team to lose money

although I'm not condoning this teams practices

just saying imagine if you invested your personal money into it.. it must be stressful

but if I had money I wouldn't start a team lol I'm smarter than that

Not sure why players just "trust" organizations like this. If there is a contract in place, take legal action. If there was never a contract....you deserve all the shady shit happening.

There are dozens of cautionary tales littering SC2 (and eSports') history. New teams that promise much are usually too good to be true. Makes me appreciate the stalwarts of the scene that much more to be honest -- the solid, honest teams that make it work.

Yeah, there really seems to be a premise of over-promise and under-deliver. apeX is an extremely wealthy team, their structure is much like that of Quantic. Incredibly wealthy owner starting a team on venture capital. Our team motto is pretty much the opposite of apeX and similar teams. Under promise and over deliver. That leaves you with players that are surprised/happy when you do something for them rather than you fulfilling their expectations. It leads to a much happier an closer team, although you may not immediately attract allstar 'hired guns'.

they're not going because apex has to use the money to pay morrow's salary. morrow confirmed on his twitter. /sarcasm

i think its more than likely a money issue.

In my opinion this is strike one, I really hope this was just a fluke and that they'll be able to give the players the support they deserve.


Strike one? lol, if anyone takes Apex as a serious business after this they're simply kidding themselves. We've all heard the stories from former players of different games saying how Apex still owes them money, they wait until one day before the event to say "lol j/k, we're sending no one to DreamHack". Are they seriously trying to convince us that they didn't know a month ago that there was no way they could afford the plane tickets. Also the whole "can't update cause internet so bad in Manchester". Okay UK's internet is shoddy but they can't even go to a frikin Starbucks with a lap top and update a twitter account? Bullshit, seems like a smash and scam job to me.

your post sounds pretty naive but i'll just asume you dont know any better

these players CANT get a different team, so they fall for the false promises of a foreign team they dont know.
they are not getting payed teamless, so they join in the hopes that they get at least SOME money

From the previous history of this team, I am not really surprised that this happened. But we will see when they are going to another tournament since it is stated that the thing that has caused there trip will not affect there flights again.

I know so few people care about those players, but those who care, can tell to the sponsors about that shady team

How about waiting for a goddamn official statement by the team or at least by the players before telling the sponsors again?
You don't know anything about what is actually happening and you heard some people on TL say that apeX is shady and you immediately want to message sponsors?
Man, just wait until things are cleared up and if it comes out that the team is at fault you can message the sponsors.
But don't be so fast with your judgment... and don't immediately start this crap again please....
Just ahead of time, know your addiction's not a crime. It's just a smaller part of who you want to become in the end.
