My take is that if they want to hurt, you simply cant do shit. This happened very frequently in wc3. Foreign teams are not that great for Koreans | ||

For my and other Alternate players case they were doing some stuff not legally to begin with and we were completely unaware of it, and that messed up all the terms of the contract for us. Also would it be smart to bring to court this stuff against a big company and spend lots of time and money to get back a few thousand euros? I can imagine it works the same for other players. The money owed is simply not enough to invest the time and cash to hire a lawyer and get it back, and most of them are too young and unexperienced or they don't have the resources to get what they deserve. The teams are perfectly aware of this and for this reason some of them don't care about the players condition or what is owed to them. edit: point is that all progamers come from a place of scarcity because of gaming background and they are all very young, so teams know they can get away with lots of shit without much repercussion Ok, got your point and you're right but as you said, in Hyun's case he should force it, the amount of money is so high and i guess he could get a lot of help if he decides to do so. Would be a good example maybe for other persons and for the future for everybody, especially for the player - organisation relationship | ||

I really hope Hyun gets his money back somehow - would seriously hire a lawyer and consult him/her about the problem. Figures a 23 year old who inherited his wealth from his father would screw people over and dump $200,000+ on esports without getting a return. http://www.dailydot.com/esports/simon-boudreault-quantic-gaming-disappear-collapse/ | ||

Didn't expect this, wow. ;/ I guess you missed all the stories with regards to Quantic, lol. ;/ | ||

It's in these cases you wish tournament organisations paid out prize money directly to the player and not through the teams. | ||

If HyuN's story is true on the salient points, the story is quite damning. | ||

Real life story: in my 3rd world country of Poland, my mom was scammed for fucking 600 PLN (<200 USD) on Allegro (Polish equivalent of eBay). She sued the scumbag, got her money back, never had to pay anything (the seller had to). But HyuN should just forget about his 23k, move to another team and be scammed again. Canada must be a horrible place to live. | ||
