Huh? Money is not given directly to the players? Okay well now I see where the big flaw is right now. Money should be given to the player and not to the team. I always thought it was given to the players directly after the tournament in the form of a cheque or transferred from one bank account to another. I think the way money is distributed by tournaments needs changing and especially after this incident.

This is quite terrible... Hyun is such a good player... Reminds me of the LoveTT scandal that's going on in Chinese SC2 sphere...

Sounds like HyuN got straight up scammed

After the initial problems, it sounds like it would've been better for him to have it arranged to that the tournaments payed him directly instead of through the team. Salary is problematic enough, but there's absolutely no reason he shouldn't have received his tournament winnings.

I hope Dreamhack learned its lesson.

Quantic, such a mess. Always been, always will be remembered that way.

Atleast MLG and IEM gives money to the players, Dreamhack seems not.

Contract fraud, this should be pursued in a criminal court or a claims court. Simon needs to be held accountable, this cannot be allowed to happen.What a complete douche.

If I quit now, then I'm thankful to Simon for letting me finally rest after eight tough years of progaming. I'll never forget you!


That's a heavy line! i like it

I wish u all the best hyun, hopefully things sort themselves out very very soon, you deserve way better than this <3

Feel so bad for HyuN.

That Simon scumbag should've been driven from the scene after the MaSsan scandal.

Hope everything gets fixed somehow. Can't believe a team owner can have so little respect for his players. Don't give up progaming just yet!

That would probably cost HyuN more money than the 23k.

Dreamhack should honor the prize money and give it to Hyun and then Dreamhack pursue legal action against Simon for fraud.

Heres the prize money policy: http://www.dreamhack.se/dhs13/esport/prize-money-policy/

From what I understand reading it Hyun could have done it by himself, Dreamhack doesn't send you the money, you have to claim it.
Quantic probably told Hyun it would be best if they did it for him.
The curse is real

Nothing in it for DH to do such a thing.

probably the only way for this to work out well for Hyun is to put pressure on the sponsors. they don't want shitty publicity and they have much more power to do something about it than Hyun does. so we need to send tweets and emails to Roccat, Alienware, and whoever else has an agreement with Quantic. if anyone knows Hyun personally or has contact with him, they should tell him to talk to the sponsors and document what is said.
