Go watch it :p on dailymotion, just find mozinor "Le mougou" (or "mugu"). It's pretty stupid and funny. It's basicly mozinor replying and talking to your uncle :p

EDIT : video in spoiler

Warning : it's pretty stupid :p

Firstly, i feel bad for all the pro gamers concerned. Major, Welmu, Desrow...

But i feel like all Pro Gamers should learn something from all this short-lived team's incidents by now.

SC2 is not going to be the ideal scene to throw money in. It just doesn't make sense from a business point of view. It's a relatively small scene especially when you compare it to the other hugely popular games in Esports like CS:GO and DOTA2 or LOL.

If i had the money and think Esports has a bright future, why shouldn't i be throwing money into the more popular games?

So if somebody comes forward with an idea of starting a new SC2 team, check the freaking finances first. Is the money guaranteed. You cannot just trust the person just because he seems or sounds trustworthy ( as stated by desrow in his vlog) Look i have seen children who can lie with a totally innocent look and be oscar-worthy. So don't talk about adults.

I think there is only one thing I can do at this point as both an SC2 fan and a wrestling fan on this news.

There is no understanding. There is only Choya. Choya is the way. Choya is Love. Choya is Life. Has is the Light in the Protoss Dark and Nightmare is his chosen Acolyte

I don't get people that blame the players. They are not totally stupid, and I believe that they were not blind about the risks.
Still, you have the chance of receiving support and a salary, even if it seems a bit shady/unlikely to happen...you just say no? Well, obviously you say yes. 1% chance of having something is better than 100% chance of having nothing.

This is what happens when you sign Major. Either he leaves, or the team does.

If you're a player who has no other team offers on the horizon, then I can see why you'd join even an unstable or unproven team. At worst, you probably think you can get a few paychecks and travel reimbursements before the team goes under, during which time you wouldn't have been getting other money from another team anyway. At least Apocalypse's collapse was quick so that the players aren't wasting more time. From now on sketchy teams should be demanded to keep one month's worth of a player's salary in a separate trust account that players, and only players, can draw from if the teams are late on payments

Also, this contract here (http://sc2online.com/forum/forum/news/general-news/506-new-team-apocalypse-esports-to-disband-%E2%80%8Bmanagement-considering-legal-action-against-the-teams-financier) is not so well done at all to protect the players I hope this isn't suggestive of what the standard is in western SC2 teams...

your reputation as a savvy veteran of eSports business affairs takes a hit. if that has zero value to the player...

I don't understand why people think it is okay to come into this thread and say, "I told you so". To those of you that are, I would say that you've probably been negative about every team that forms, and nobody thinks that you are smart or better than the players because you think you wouldn't have fallen for this scam after it happens.There are always people talking about how they saw everything coming. No one is impressed.

Ok, my respect for the players involved went down. How can you play a game based on decision making an take such shitty career decisions?

cause im a magician and i can know how everyone will act? lol its like u getting a job and next day u get fired cause the guys went bankrupt. my respect goes down for u aswell how is it my fault lol. i cant predict how someone gonna act. so losing respect for players is just silly.


You do a background check when you go into an interview for a job. Dunno if you did and it tunred out nothing but you DO make a bg check for real work. At least i do.


No need for a background check. This wouldn't even pass a basic sanity check.

The owner was in some major shit as far as i know. Match-fixing kind of shit. That's why people are bashing (at least i think)
