Players shouldn't be working for free like that. Why don't they start putting clauses in their contracts like "If payment is late more than 30 days, player is released from contract" and just leave these teams once they're more than a month late so they don't rack up a year of unpaid work? | ||

I think they just have LoL now? but mTw is a known team so thats a bigger thing then a upcoming trahsteam | ||

Sad to see mtw being broke, hope they can scrap enough bits together to pay everyone atleast something. But debts are annoying usually affects other bits of the system and spreads out in that case to the players. | ||

For the 'SC2 is dying' doomsayers, please note that Counter-Strike, League of Legends and Dota players are affected equally by this. It is very sad that the organisation's players have been left without their due monies, but I'm certain that mTw's management did their utmost to fulfill what had been promised, and they simply ran out of time, money and sponsors. I hope the owner manages to find some way to do this. | ||

Sadly the rumors have been confirmed. mTw is no more. Guess that clarifies why Dimaga has left. | ||

Those "confirmations" have come as a result of some really bad journalism on the part of GosuGamers. They read our article and reported us as a source of saying the organisation had shut down. We didn't say that and they seem unable to recognise the distinction between that and what we actually did report. The person who posted it on Gosugamers said he spoke private to syndereN from their DotA 2 team who confirmed it was closing, then deleted his comment and didn't take us down as the source of the story, which of course we're not. | ||
