Here's the thread, if you guys are wondering: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=431056 Even though Simon had resolved the issue, he still pull the same shit against Quantic's star player Hyun! That guy not only needs to pay up but also needs to banished from eSports for good! | ||

Before Axiom got their Korean manager for the players I would say the distinction would have been that FXO had a full Korean staff team that stayed at the team house with the players. Axiom went a long time with just Crank doing that stuff. | ||

Did the sponsors just throw their money and product and branding at a team and expect to not be associated with them, even after the incident with MaSsan? Dell/Alienware are a huge corporation, are you saying they can't afford to help HyuN who was cheated out of $23000? Why not help him find a lawyer, or even provide one for him from their legal department when HE is the one getting shafted and they're getting free exposure? Here is Quantic's front page: http://puu.sh/65rI8.jpg The first thing you see is Roccat's logo. If e-sports is such a joke to those companies that they think they can slap their name on any team to get sales and then pull out when shit hits the fan, then I won't buy any of their products. If they choose to wash their hands of this then I'm washing my hands of them. | ||

See "payout policy" http://www.dreamhack.se/dhs13/esport/prize-money-policy/ | ||

The managers need to handle all this stuff like paying bills, contracts and so much more stuff we wouldnt even think off. I just cant understand why there is no higher management which controls this stuff. In my opinion there are several ways to solve this problem. Hyun got a contract. So why isnt he contacting a lawyer like you guys already mentioned? Another way would be to contact one of Quantic sponsors because at the end of the day the image of Quantic is damaged - and Quantic is associated with this big names like Razer and stuff. Sponsors wouldnt care about this normally (Which I understand) but hate against a company which youre sponsoring would may make them to do sth. Also there is the already active """solution""" of contacting the community and try to get as many donations as possible. But honestly I dont feel like there will be so many donations as that hyun could say "well, atleast I got a part of it". I just got the impression that the sc2 community isnt that huge for that - but this is just my personal feeling. | ||

at the end of the day, we (esports industry) need them more than they need us, and they do good for the scene, so please don't be dramatic about that. | ||
