Lol....You think it's just Quantic? This thread is so painfully familiar that it's hilarious to me. It's happened with so many other "teams" that end up being scams. No legitimate team just pops up with no recognition/support behind it.

It's another scam. Wake up SC2 community. People need to contact Genius and Tassadar and tell them to stay away from these people.



Then contact them and tell them what you think you know, otherwise you're not helping anyone out, you're just running a teams name through the mud for no reason. No player from LYGF has come forward saying they weren't paid and it's ridiculous of you to just assume otherwise....


Oh the irony... http://www.reddit.com/r/starcraft/comments/1x7m0x/my_only_wish_is_you_give_this_post_life_for_just/

Here is a skype conversation between HTOMario and Pascal Anton (LYGF owner)
[2/1/2014 10:42:07 AM] Pascal Anton: yeah
[2/1/2014 10:42:12 AM] HTOMario: any news on sponsor?
[2/1/2014 10:42:46 AM] HTOMario: it's february o.o
[2/1/2014 10:44:27 AM] Pascal Anton: seems like they are screwing us over
[2/1/2014 10:44:34 AM] HTOMario: yeah
[2/1/2014 10:45:47 AM] HTOMario: but my salary wasn't a problem before we had them?
[2/1/2014 10:46:35 AM] Pascal Anton: i will send you a good amount on monday
[2/1/2014 10:46:44 AM] HTOMario: ok ty


Mario later goes on to say in the thread that Pascal kept giving him the run-around and coming up with excuses and that he was never actually paid.

NAUG was the new sponsor Pascal was referring too. After a bit of being late I discovered through pascal that NAUG was either stalling or delaying payments in the sponsorship they promised. - HTOMario

That's 1 player

I had a very similar experience when I was on LYGF..i'm glad I left when I did. I had multiple late payments AND even CANCELLED payments. I'm sorry this happened to you Mario hopefully it doesn't happen to anyone else. - LYGFBails
In reply to Bails - Ah why didn't you say anything?! I'm sorry man I had no idea any of this was going on until it hit me as well. I thought everything was good and even replaced some gear which they never reimbursed me for back in early december - HTOMario

That's 2

Hi guys, this is SeOuLStEaL and I was on LYGF as well. When I woke up this morning, I must say that I didn't expect to hear that HTOMario had left LYGF... But when I asked Mario himself, I was shocked that not only did he leave the team, but that some of the rumors were true about some of the members not receiving payment. I thought that maybe the financial "issues" were resolved but it appears I was mistaken. When I saw that Mario had left LYGF, it struck me that maybe it was my time to leave too. - LYGFSeOuLStEaL

Wow, that makes 3!

It's also possible that Genius has not been paid either, while he was rumored to have been promised a 4k/month salary http://www.reddit.com/r/starcraft/comments/1wvm3j/lygfgenius_salary_leaked_see_inside_thoughts/

Confirmed on Skype genius has not been paid.

I was right from day 1. Check my post history LYGF was sketchy Day one yet LYGF down voted me and tried to make themselves look legit. LYGF should be ashamed. At least we caught scam now before it turned ink a hyun situation. Anton pascal has always been sketchy, from past teams. I hope this is a lesson to community to investigate and not be blinded. I wish Mario the best.
- fxo_dragonflyss

If this is true, then that would make 4! And I'm sure there are others who have received late payments or not been paid at all that just haven't said anything yet. Honestly, if this isn't enough evidence, then you're blind.

Well, it's pretty easy to pay someone a 4k a month salary when, you know, you don't actually pay them...

4k a month should of been a red sign for genius to turn around. This is 2nd hand info but I thought 2k a month was considered really good.

Yes it is second hand info, but put yourself in the position of the LYGF CEO. If people were saying things like this about your company and throwing around these accusations that aren't true, wouldn't you DO SOMETHING? There has been no official statement made by anyone on LYGF refuting any of these accusations... In fact, there hasn't been too many statements from them about anything. It's like they're just keeping their mouth shut about anything business/sponsor related and hoping that people just eventually stop caring... I mean go to their website and look at their list of sponsors (mainly Idea2create and AndroidTVCanada). I've never heard of either of them, and if you click the links to their websites, they're like the most sketchy/poorly designed websites I've ever seen, and after reading through them, I couldn't even tell you what they do, and there's no way in hell that they're able to fund a team with players like Genius and Tassadar... This entire organization just SCREAMS the word "scam."
