When GEM got bought by that big time agency a few weeks ago, a number of esports veterans were making tweets that badically said GEM pulled off a great scam since they never paid their clients. So I wouldn't be so quick to assume that this new organization isn't going to pay its players.

Ugh, Reis and MC are so... idk. Just plopping in to say you are spouting massive bullshit about Dubai.
Saudi's don't live in Dubai, Emirati do. Actually, they sort of hate Saudi's. Oil currently is less than 2% of Dubai GDP IIRC, whilst it was a bigger part of their income 20 years ago, it is not anymore. Dubai aims to become THE city to be in the Middle East, possibly all of earth. Their investments in infrastructure, tourism and especially their financial districts are incredible. UAE also had the biggest amount of spending on foreign aid last year.
In fact, you seem completely clueless about the city. They imported 8 soccer teams last winter (Real Madrid and FC Barcelona were amongst those, IIRC). All they do is draw attention to themselves. They'll be the World Expo Host of 2020 too, by the way.
So please, Dubai showing interest in SC2 is more positive to us than negative - it shows some people out there regard eSports as mainstream, or at least worth investing in.
As a little sidenote, look up the book "My Vision" by Sheikh of Dubai and UAE Vice President Muhammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum. It'll enlighten your limited view of the world.
Peace out.

They are going -$200 bucks which is so weird for a company a year. They paid like 60 bucks to employees the entire year. And nothing to the CEO The amount of money involved in this company from networth etc is superlow.
TKR is short for tusen kronor (1000 SEK) so multiply by 1000 in those figures I guess

MC's the Boss. He takes their money and if they stop paying, he'll just take someone else's money :D
|
Just sounds like some investor guy thinks esport is or will be THE THING and he will make THE MONEY.
I tell em now: they wount.
But MC doesnt need to care about, aslong as he gets his 3k$ check every month.
