Perhaps the TL community could try to raise a fund for Quantic gamers that have been cheated out of their money by the likes of Simon? Would be great if any major TL personalities decided to lead it

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.


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


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.


Fair enough. Well now players know that they should do it themselves unless the organisation is really trustworthy and professional. (Which Quantic certainly hasn't been for a long time..)

wow that is alot of money missing from Hyun's pocket...I don't think he will ever recover the full amount missing and I hope he doesn't retire because of this.

I am kinda glad it happen, put more pressure, exposure and accountability on the tournaments and teams with their policy regarding price money distribution , unfortunately Hyun has to be the poster boy. =(

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


That's why you also demand Simon pay for lawyer fee.

I'm really confused.

Doesn't Hyun have a contract that should guarantee he receives his money? It seems like he should be able to sue instead of just accept that he won't be paid and question his life decision of being a progamer...wtf

Which he probably can't, which is why he probably can't pay the money back.

This is really shady what the guy is doing, then he just disappears. Sounds like a con artist. Hope Hyun doesn't retire and he can find a good team that will pay him his money that he works hard for. Hope he can get the money he is owed.

I really doubt the community can raise this fund and also Simon has any money left even if he is found. At this point we can only hope for some miracle by some of the well off esports personalities or hyun making right decision.

Disgusting, plain and simple. I'm frustrated at how a few e-sports teams continue to unravel and show themselves as corrupt and exploiting the players for their self-interest. As a HyuN fan, I can't believe someone would do this to him, or anyone else really. Hope this goes well for him, and for that Simon guy to get justice.

Now that I think about it, his stress over his salary and prize earnings might explain his poor showings lately. How else could you play with focus and effort if you are unable to discern if you are going to make a living off your job. Especially as a progamer for several years, it would be incredibly disappointing if he has to quit cause of a fraud.

Hyun, if you're reading this, you definitely need a lawyer, right now. If Simon Boudreault lives in Canada, you need a lawyer located in the same province of Canada where Boudreault is located. I see from the Daily Dot article that the IT firm he inherited is located in the province of Quebec, so I assume that's where Boudreault is located as well. In other words, you need a civil litigation lawyer located in the province of Quebec.

I realize it's depressing and demoralizing to be in your situation, but you must act quickly. There are time limits that apply to bringing the sort of lawsuit you'll need to commence to get the money owed to you and the longer you wait, the greater the risk that the relevant time limit will expire and you will have lost the opportunity to get what is owing to you.

I'm sure there are people who can recommend a Quebec lawyer to you. If not, you can contact me directly and I'll locate one for you. When you meet with your lawyer, be sure to bring every record you have of any agreement and any communication relating to the money that is owed to you.

ye you could feel in the last couple of tournaments that he was stressed out, poor guy. kind of sad how some foreign teams treat the clueless koreans, axiom obviously doesn't but who knows how western wolves was handling their business, how love your girlfriend will be handling their business, maybe more transparency would help here, but in the end i am of the opinion that personal sponsorships are the way to go in sc2. of course i could be wrong but this is not the first time korean sc2 players got screwed by foreign teams.
