Interesting, I don't agree with Tt for not paying, but their reason has merit. We all agree that Prime hasn't been performing very well, so it isn't unreasonable for sponsors to be upset. However, if Tt did realize the marketing benefits that Prime has to offer, perhaps they would see Prime as a friend.

I want to ask all of you Prime fans, to stop bashing or demanding something from Tt through social media. Instead, please use the power of social media to sway Tt's decision and pay Prime.

Tell them, in your own words, how much you love Prime; tell them what item you bought; take a picture of it. And send it to them.

We should use a hashtag and promote it. I am not good at creating catchy hashtags, but my only suggestion is #payBackPrime. Someone else could create something better.

I hate the pitchfork attempt when someone doesn't pay someone else. I want to try another approach. Maybe if Tt realized that Prime has some deep roots and connections to its fans, they would see the benefits of paying back Prime.

Now after we try my attempt, and Tt still refuses to pay Prime, then we shall raise the biggest shit storm of social media that Tt has ever experienced.

If anyone has searched Tt through facebook, they have many channels in different languages and purposes. We should write on every single page demanding payment AND apology to Prime. If they don't pay, we stop buying Tt stuff. Write it in your language also.

And I will start.

I am planning on building a computer in the next week. If Tt doesn't pay Prime, I will not buy their products. My budget is about 1k, and I was having trouble deciding what parts I want.

Now Tt has made my decision easier, by nearly eliminating themselves from my list.

So everyone, if we want to create change, we have to be the change.

I heard someone recommend smashing their Tt keyboard. Lol do it! And show your new replacement!



I know I wrote a lot, and some of it will be bad grammar, but I really hate this kind of shit. The scams embedded in this industry has to stop, and I know I'm not the only one who gets really upset about it. So thank you for reading this, and please reply if you are on board with my plan.

thanks,

Jett

I don't agree with the logic that if Prime's performance isn't sufficient, ttesports just withholds their payment.
Their results has never been part of the contract, and to get your name out, you don't really need results. You just need a big fanbase (which can be based on your results), but i don't know if this is the case for Prime.

No. This is pretty healthy. Sponsors will see that teams do mean something to the community, and thus think twice if they don't fulfill their contracts.

Well, Tt eSports owes Prime an explanation because Tt eSports did not fulfil the agreements in the contract. I think Prime made their problems public because Tt eSports refuses to give that explanation.

I'm not on Tt eSports side, nor Prime but I would like to point out:

- Why Prime doesn't public the reasons from Tt eSports? What are the reason exactly?
- The article is one side story from Korean news and Prime while there aren't any articles on Taiwan news sites (such as http://www.esports.com.tw/news.php)
- Tt eSports is still sponsoring the other pro teams and players, so I don't think they will keep being silent on this case which is hurting their reputation.

Normally it will take a short time from a huge company like Tt eSports to respond on this matter (Trust me, they're very careful of wat they're gonna say) so take a chill and let's see

Yes and since there is no official statement, even after they got contacted by other news pages to release a statement (ongamers f.e.), you can expect, that you won´t get a satisfying reason from tt. They might be upset with results by Prime. And yeah, that´s totally valid, then you don´t extend your contract and let it run out. But you don´t break contracts, you already made. This just makes the whole professional esport thing completely senseless.

No, Tt's reason doesn't have merit unless a performance clause was put into the contract, which it wasn't going by what others have said. You can't just sponsor a team and then stop paying when the team starts sucking.
