Alt-Tab.Gaming has disbanded

AltTab Gaming's journey ends here.
First of all, this decision is purely financial: we could simply no longer cover the costs of the team. Some of the investors -including the most important one- didn't give us the money he promised and the encouraging results didn't provide enough response from potential sponsors. Some of them still wanted to help us, and I would like to thank them.

Now I should explain why Team Eclypsia's name appears in rumors and posts since yesterday. One month ago, when we understood that we will no longer be able to ensure future deadlines, and that we should announce the end of our team, staff and players (who all worked really hard) OR find a solution that will allow our association to continue its development. That's when we start to study a proposition -even though it was an unofficial one, from Eclypsia.

In order to make sure everybody understood, I will inform you of the biggest terms in this proposition :

-Eclypsia representatives, aware of their several fails in the Starcraft 2 scene, wanted to take the lead of AltTab with a "white card" in order to restore Eclypsia's prestige in France, and in the world. Eclypsia proposed a comfortable enough budget to form a good competitive lineups, from their roster, our roster, and recruitments we were working on. (Some players would have been released from their contract, but everything was done following rules, and we were negociating with them)

-After that, we meet the representatives during Paris Games Week (our french players CENSURE and SonG were there, and part of our staff) . We agreed for a common future, and the contract should have been signed three days later.

During those days, we decide not to close the team, so we can still support players and try an as smoothy transition as possible. When everything seems to be fine (we were already in contact with Eclypsia players) , Eclypsia asked us to wait ten more days (until November, 14th) , a time they needed to get the approval of their financial service.

Indeed, the proposition was done without warranty, and what had to happen happened : yesterday, the contract was cancelled.

This is the end of AltTab Gaming.

Of course, Eclypsia is not responsible of Alt Tab Gaming's financial problems and I can perfectly understand why some projects could be cancelled. This is not an attack against Eclypsia, just an explanation since transparency must be present in Esports
Unfortunately, the unscrupulous methods put the players and the association in an akward spot, since the deadlines and fees generated by the additional month are on AltTab Gaming charge.

Since the association cannot provide those fees, I personnaly commited to the persons concerned, as the owner, to support important and urgents fees, like Sage's return to Korea.
