Well it seems DreamHack needs to change there payout policy so that player is directly given the money. | ||

I'm surprised quantic management didn't look into it immediately after seeing this kind of tweet because If I saw this I would immediately find out what is going on. This tweet wasn't too out of place. One of their League of Legends players started a twitter thing of "Cursed Dreams and Broken Hearts" (https://twitter.com/Locodoco/status/409074189392293888) and this at just seemed like their manager parodying it after they lost their chance to join the LCS (the LoL equivalent to WCS). | ||

Second, the hot topic after Unfiltered is the lack of infrastructure of esports in North America, but how can you even talk infrastructure when you have people like Simon of Quantic or Marco formerly with Speed? The problem isn't just infrastructure but also shady people screwing over progamers who give up so much and get burnt to the point where they give up. Better infrastructure needs to address this problem directly. | ||

If it was just incompetent management that simply couldnt afford to pay the wages they promised thats one thing. If they somehow took the money that they didnt have the legal right to take, thats another. Anyway, sucks for Quantic. Maybe they can get a kickstarter going, if Catz can get enough money to run a house in California for a year youd think the 'community' would want to help Hyun out. | ||

I dont know if this would be fraud or if he is just another creditor of a business that went belly up... But in all honesty, I dont think he will ever get his money back, sadly. It would probably involve him fronting massive amounts of cash to pay for a trial that takes forever at the other end of the globe in a language he doesnt understand. Meanwhile, fat fuck Boudreault would do his best to delay the procedure and make sure Hyun runs out of cash before they can get a verdict. about the outcry on prize money: isnt it standard for korean teams to keep the majority of the prize money earned by a player? How he could be a creditor in this situation is quite insane. The prize money is his, not the team's right? Taking that from him is theft, is fraudulent behavior. RCMP, whomever, if what he did wasn't illegal, it's really sad. | ||

I feel like I should repost this so it isn't at the bottom of a page. We need to contact the sponsors. They are not at fault, but they have the ability to do something about it. | ||

And thats just one thing that comes to my mind... sounds like a blueprint of unprofessionalism to me. How can it be that such key positions between the parties aren't secured and controlled(answer is clear, for the "cpt obvious' out there")? Sad for Hyun, also don't get why he didn't come up earlier with this. People know his real name. Simon Boudreault. He hasn't been some mysterious enigma - hell, I was just looking at his LinkedIn page. The thing is, even if you are well know and famous you can effectively disappear. Especially if you are on a different continent from the person trying to contact you. I think maybe Simon should have stayed in sales. | ||

I don't think anything can be done. Every team scam I heard of went without any legal consequences, because it's way too expensive and too time consuming to sue someone over this. | ||

Wouldn't exactly call it a scam. Sure, what's happening now (and what happened to MaSsan) is complete bullshit, but Simon did put a lot of money into Quantic from the beginning. He's basically just cutting and running now, and taking all the liquid assets from the business with him. | ||
