PULL OUT MC! PULL OUT

Wow this article's quality is really subpar, from factually wrong statements to lack of easy research. Bad job, DailyDot.

It is truly a sad day in SC2 when the team that provides the best (only?) offer to MC, one of the original legends of the game, is one that sprung up out of nowhere and at least appears to be not legitimate.

I'm glad MC is on a team again and I hope this actually works out but I can't help but feel like this is anything but a disapointment.


MC is not obligated to go the high-risk/high-reward path. i'm sure he could play on a more stable team for less pay.
its his personal choice though.

The swedish paper Veckans Affärer (~Trades of the Week) posted an expose of Trig today.

Here is the article in full: http://www.va.se/nyheter/2015/03/11/historien-om-svenska-trigs-markliga-borsresa---fran-5-miljoner-till-10-miljarder/.

Basically, it's all a compound of bullshit, fraud and shady business.

What darkdwarf said, they're a bunch of scammers that try to hype up something that isn't there. I'm not that comfortable translating, since there's a lot of hard words I don't understand 100%.

An example: They claim they have 1,1 million unique visitors every month on their homepage. But when logging into Trig you only get a look-a-like facebook where the latest posts are 3-4 months old from the companies own "sportambassadeurs".

According to Alexa, who estimates numbers on the web, Trig.com is ranked at 2,146 in Sweden. For comparison, VA (the newspaper, which isn't one of the larger ones) have 600k visitors and is at rank 466 in Sweden.

edit: If I understand this correctly, at 27 January 2014 the company was valued to 5,3 million SEK. At 18 September 2014, it was valued to 10 billion SEK.

Feel free to correct me if I got something wrong. I'm no expert on this stuff.

I don`t get why people pity MC. It was a deliberate decision by him and he probably prefers to receive bigger paychecks, compared to receiving less while playing for a "legit" team. It was the same with Azubu.

I started translating the article over here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1rizDU-Jw2yzCwY6K1-IByOFipXCDvZBeGuSOF1oHa8I/edit?usp=sharing.

If anyone wants to help out, do so.

you should probably lock the edit function. Otherwise it will probably just be used for trolls

Ahh cool, in summary the article says that the company was valued at 5 million SEK in 2013 and now it's valued 10 000 million SEK, but at the same time their global alexa ranking has gone from 26.812 in July 2013 to 178.603 today. And that the maths thus does not ad up.

The article is decent but it could have been better with researches on Norman and Cook's past.
