Maybe the round trip flight and week at the hotel resort equals $10,000

But all jokes aside, hope you do get paid

What if all their money went into getting the best most amazing water ever? You already drank your cash prize away.

There must be some legal remedy here, right? Certainly at least a breach of contract claim against the company that owes them money for their performance.

I was thinking swimming, but your idea is way better.

I wouldn't be surprised if WSVG owned prize money from their 2007 tournaments too.

I'll never forget when MasterDalk advanced from his qualification round despite not checking in or playing any games. Such a shame he forfeit his spot since he didn't actually want to play.

All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.

Feel bad for Jon Snow even if he did get a nice trip out of it, but I seem to remember the vast majority of the community here on TL seemed to think that this was very dodgy indeed when it was announced. It seems we were right, however it is very unfortunate for all those players who are owed money.

Would be interesting to know who the main sponsors were and main players are in regards to who set up the tournament etc.

this was the tourney that triforce or 8arc was involved with right? if so, those who went dun goof'ed.

TriForce wasn't involved with this one. That was where we went to DA BEECH (look up VxG).

How about KESPA instead of suing people over match-fixing they already been punished for, they start suing organizations for robbing the players, without whom, this scene would not exist...

Well, their island is about to sink... pretty hard to collect debt from an address that no longer exists.

I bet they stiffed the dancers too.

Probably because it's a hell of a lot easier to do the former, as there is only 1 guilty party, inside their own country, to protect the direct interests of their org.

Plus who would they sue in this case? WSVG? The government of Maldives? G2A? Much more difficult/expensive.

It's pretty silly to place the burden on KESPA to police the whole world of esports.

It makes much more sense to me to protect the players that actually allow an organization like KESPA to exist than to file a civil suit against people that have already been punished criminally (I get they think it wasn't enough).

Rather this kind of shit goes unpunished, where a player gets completely fucked. Hyunn is another person that comes to mind. Things like this happening to players is what leads them to match-fixing, because when you want to do esports as a "career" you actually need to have a livable income.

Here is someone that plays at the top of the level of the tourney and they get nothing for winning. What's the incentive for competing in a system that doesn't honor its own rules.

The whole scene is a joke when stuff like this happens.

Lets piss away some more money on the match-fixing drama, but when it comes to players getting paid I would actually wager money that this is the last any of us hear about it.

I imagine you would sue the people or organization that organized the event. I would make the argument that suing match fixers doesn't have much to do with protecting your organization in comparison to you players getting 10k stolen from them for winning a tourney.

You lose your players you lose your scene. Take your lawyer money and give some to the players would be better spent. I remember Hyunn and I believe all the viewers had to come up with charity donations for him, Kespa didn't do shit. So really what good is Kespa for the scene?

So please tell me, which kespa players are not being payed in this scenario?

None because kespa didn't send any players for this exact reason. If the players gets used and fucked over kespa can't do shit about it. Thats why they make sure that their players only go to legit tournaments. Therefore your whole arguement is void.

Kespa got Brains(unlike you), they avoided this whole problem before it even happened =D
