I agree, the best way to come off as trustworthy is starting your post with "Yeah, I was arrested twice for fraud, but I never got charged for it because the evidence they had wasn't as tight as they thought it was."

im sry this happened but you should do your research on the people you work with before signing anything. If they tell you to hurry etc, just tell them to wait or deal is off.

So did that guy actually get money?
I can't understand how you guys got fooled. This is so childishly stupid. Best of luck with other sponsors.

You know maybe it was sMi's own fault , but I think y'all should give them a break. As management for an amateur team myself, breaking into the pro scene with sponsors and having a solid team is the holy frail. If people offer you money and write up what look like legit contracts it's easy to over look some details. if a guy has a good reputation, history with the team and a relationship with the players I can see how it would seem fairly reasonable of them to wait for money and not look a gift horse in the mouth. Bottom line is this guy is a sketchy as whole who needs to get what's coming to him.

Wow... seems like there was a good share of people being dumb all around. Seems like the guy Athena might be a chronic liar is all.

I haven't played SC2 in ages... but pretty sure last time I checked not like sMi has any money to take lol. We did make a few shirts once, NonY has one!

so why did anderson message desrow, was desrow involved?


Anderson mention many times that he is bring desrow and major into the team, but I refuted him and insisted that I will have no des nor row in my house, because me and desrow don't see eye to eye on things, and we had a little history that some of you guys might know.

That being said, without any evidence of how desrow is involved in this and why anderson is communicating with desrow and letting him know the plan has failed. Let's use logic to reason this out, let's suppose desrow is in it with anderson, and their objective was to make money, how is desrow being on smi help them scam money off the team? I can't think of anything that is reasonable, let's suppose they managed to get enough big name players on false promises and use the player's reputation to attract a real sponsorship. But reputation of desrow and major? They hasn't won anything meaningful since sc2 was in beta, nobody would sponsor a team with these 2 players.

The above is a negative proof that desrow is not involve by going through the logic on how he could not scam team smi for money if he was involved.


Sigh this is exactly why I asked to be removed from the OP. He added me on skype and I wanted to hear what he had to offer while knowing how shady of a reputation he had. I've been a good acquaintance of JimRising for about a year so once Jim told me sMi was breaking promises with, I copypasted those logs to Jim as soon as possible. The OP never asked my permission to post those logs and that's unfortunate.

I'm honestly not sure if he thought he would make money off the team or if he was just really wanting to play the role of a huge troll. I've thought about that a lot and for a while now.

Probably just trolling. I mean, I can't think of what rationale he could come up with for you to give him anything.

Sorry it unfolded the way it did for you guys at sMi, but tbh I am sure most of the people familiar with the situation knew you guys were being scammed. Also, as much as I feel for some of the players on your team, there are a select few that are fakes and frauds (not just Athena). I am sure the real talent will find a home with new teams.

Thanks for giving us the full story! :D



Thanks Brad. Dont worry too much, we will find new homes on credible teams! Teams that have actual sponsors. I wish SCA the best.

A surprising turn of events

sMi

It sounded really sketchy since the beginning when we were explained by a former teammate on what was going on, I wouldn't say I'm surprised at all. All the best towards the players though, some of them are really good.


Thank you, that means a lot coming from an SCA player. We will keep the community updated with any new teams/developments!
