not paying IPL contractors while he was still working for IGN/IPL is just bad.


What on earth makes you think David Kim has anything to do with this?

That's really bad PR for IGN. They show how shady they are and what E-Sports means to them.

I will be boycotting IGN until this is resolved. Feel free to do the same.


this is a tragic-comedy.

where are all those IPL supporters
when i said IPL would never hold another big event i got flamed into hell.
he who laughs last laughs best. sad for the contractors though...

i wonder if IGN is actively trying to claim that Blizzard owes the money because Blizz bought some "IPL assets"?
http://ca.ign.com/articles/2013/04/08/blizzard-buys-ign-pro-league
somewhat misleading opening line : "Blizzard has purchased IPL"

i never liked David Ting, but i didn't realize he was this much of a snake.
not paying IPL contractors while he was still working for IGN/IPL is just bad.

it isn't just the prize winners who still have yet to be paid.


Wrong David.

it is funny that TL always tries to involve Blizzard when something bad going on!
I never liked IPL...not paying the players is a pretty bad move.

Although i dont know nothing about American Law can they not initiate legal action against IGN. There must be some way for him to get his prize money?

I believe that this could be considered fraud if they never pay him.


It depends on the contract that the players signed. If they signed a contract that the winner will be payed X amount in Y time, IGN would be in breach of contract and the injured parties can seek restitution. I'd ask Plansix, that guy knows a lot about law.


The problem is that I will bet you whatever contract the players agreed to was with an entity IPL was housed in, separately from IGN, and IPL doesn't exist anymore. It has no assets. So even if the player has a claim (it would be for some type of breach of contract), and even if the IPL entity still exists, you could sue it and win and still get nothing, because there's probably nothing to get. And Blizzard did not purchase IPL; they purchased the ASSETS of IPL. So the liability to Leenock is still with IPL. Neither is IGN liable, unless again, IPL was housed in the same entity that owns the general IGN assets, which is extremely, extremely unlikely. What Leenock would have needed to do is initiate a lawsuit against IPL BEFORE the sale to Blizzard and then he'd have some options once IPL tried to sell all of their assets to Blizzard (or against the cash IPL got in the sale). I'd bet that Leenock has no effective legal recourse; his best bet would be to publicize the issue and hope that IGN pays him just to make the bad PR go away.

Awesome, especially with the tough spot his team is in now with FXO pulling support. Only took a year.
