Young "employees" as well as inexperienced managers. Esports is a very small industry and so it's very difficult to bring in some experienced people with professional experience. | ||

Players are helpless. If you speak out you may get released. And especially for players that are not S-level, that's very scary, because there are lots of players, and it's hard to get picked up due to a lack of teams. | ||

I wonder where the prize pool went (Simon's bank account? paying down team expenses? to other teams?). Surely Dreamhack would know if the money has left their bank account. Unlike what others here seem to think, I think it is reasonable for the money to go to the team first since some teams take a chunk out of the winnings, handle the finances, and pays salaries to the players. But given this situation maybe Dreakhack can consider paying players rather than the claimer which I'm guessing is Simon in this case. I don't think complaining to the sponsors will help in this scenario. Presumably the sponsors have already paid the teams already. Alienware isn't going to take extra money out of their accounting books beacuse they feel bad for Hyun. The sponsors owe the team not the players no matter how much they may like the players. The worse thing about this is now Sponsors can point to this and say "well this scene/industry isn't very professional." | ||

They can correct it by being proactive in helping right a wrong that is associated with their brand. Sponsors aren't team managers. They just have to stop sponsoring the wrong thing, they don't fix things, they switch. | ||

It may be easy to disappear from the Internet but it it not at all easy for a man with substantial assets to disappear from the sight of a modern legal system employed by a determined plaintiff with a competent lawyer. The guy can blow off emails. He can't so easily ignore a lawsuit against him filed in Quebec Superior Court. | ||

http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=439685¤tpage=6#104 It might not be a bad idea though to try and see if the sponsors would be willing to help out in this regard. They could turn this into quite a positive for themselves out of this negative situation if they helped out to cover his losses. That would go so much farther, to me anyway and I believe many others, in forming good will toward their company/products than just a random team sponsorship. And considering the exposure this will get, it wouldn't go unnoticed. That may be a better way to pressure the sponsors to react. but idk, just an idea. Hope the best for HyuN anyway. Sad to see this stuff. | ||

when are people starting to sue their fucking CEOs? If he gets all the proof the tournaments paid the money to the team he can sue them. After all he's on contract. | ||
