Considering what's going on lately, I think that news is noteworthy. Thank you. Keep up the good work! | ||

That is putting it so mildy. From so many people we have examples of you being a pathalogical liar, to the point where I think you might even want to consider maybe seeing a psychiatrist about because I don't think it's healthy at all having this problem. It's certainly not conducive to a healthy social life nor a decent career. One of your players of Reddit has said that you...fuck it I'll just quote him directly. Stephen is a habitual liar. He lies about EVERYTHING. First he said he can't afford much cause he's a college student, then he claimed he was working at McDonalds, then months later out of the blue he claimed that he got tons of money somehow (inheritance or something) and the whole team and was getting a team house in quote "9 bedrooms 4.5 bathroom House 2 Blocks from Riot Studios in Santa Monica". And he's not the only one. The Reddit and AISC group on Facebook is full of people posting examples of your tales and works of fiction. You claim to have beaten HuK in a PvP. You claim to be a former BW player under a barcode (which weren't a thing in BW by the way). You claim to be a former StarCraft 2 pro-player who has played in front of crowds and won money. You claim to have been a former pro-Halo player. You claim to be running a multi-million dollar company inherited from your grandfather. You claim to be retired. (All this is in the Reddit thread by the way) Seriously are you that naive that you think people will believe you? I mean I work kids as young as 4-5 years old for a living and they can come up with some pretty silly far-fetched fibs from time to time. But wow, you just take the biscuit sir. I seriously think you should get some help. | ||

Not sure why anyone is still confused about this. There is more money in working for the local Starbucks than there is for 99% of people in esports. Money for lawyers? Hah! | ||

I am of the personal opinion, as I think TL is as well, that people such as this (think blight gaming here) should be banned from TL without a second thought. Saying sorry, or making a post just does not cut it in these situations. Nothing in this article plays into how "sorry" you are, and honestly, I have to refrain from posting massive amounts of obscenities here. I really feel sorry for the players involved in anything you've ever done and I hope you have great misfortune in the future. You are a terrible person and I hope you wake up thinking and reflecting on this very sentence for a long time. I really hope the players can find new teams even if momentarily so that they can find another long stay home. | ||

Because esports = peanuts In general yes, I might need to refresh my mind and may be wrong. If memory serves me right though it was some 40k dollars that Quantic owed their players, and that wasn't all salary either but prize money? Again I may be wrong on that. | ||

Yep, $40k. $23,000 of which was owed to HyuN as most of it was HyuN's prize money that Boudreault pocketed for himself. | ||

My goal and dream was to help elevate players to the highest possible levels of success. Unfortunately, I failed to do so in a proper and morally correct manner. I am reminded of two things. First, 2pacalypse's Profile Quote: "We're a community of geniuses because we've found how to extract 95% of the feeling of doing something amazing without actually doing anything." - Chill And second, The Office episode: Scott's Tots (S06E012), which I just saw yesterday- the most painful episode I have seen yet. (I'm still cringing.) Good intentions, and being the bearer of good news is great... only insofar as it can be executed. Promise to pay for college tuition and offer lithium batteries instead? Whatever the intention, the promise is only as good as the follow through. Three things. There are three things, this reminds me of (Amongst our weaponry are...). "L'enfer est plein de bonnes volontes et desirs." | ||
