The only good result of this, as I can see it, is that Gumiho finally joins a proper Kespa team.

Considering his recent performance it shouldn't be too much to ask (join KT please!).

Claims that he's already paid what's owed, so I guess we shouldn't raise our pitchforks too quickly yet.

Man esports competitors are really really naive across all games. STOP LETTING OTHER PEOPLE HANDLE YOUR PRIZE MONEY. If your team demands individual prizes be handled by them you need to know theyre gonna take it. Sucks for gumiho.


Many progamers prefer that their team gets the prizemoney directly then send it back to them...
Because if tournament organizer gives you the money directly they have to pay tax and you get less money in the process.
But if tournament organizer gives the money directly to your organization they don't pay taxes and you will in the end get all your prize money.

I never really understand why but this is how it works.


You still have to pay taxes it's just taxed differently. Instead of an "award/winnings/bonus" whatever they call it in each country tax. If your organization who is your employer pays you it just goes under income tax which for most people in most places will be lower than taking it directly. And the organization has to pay tax when they receive it so usually the roughly same amount of money is taken out in taxes, you've just created a middle man, who often in this case just takes everything.
If all men were created equal there would be no reason to declare it.

Just in case you missed it, Sebou replied to this on Reddit.

Hello it had been brought to my attention that i am the main concern of this post. First of all i would like to point out that in no way Invasion or me owe gumiho 5000+ extras. Gumiho and Invasion were under contract and there were very specifics. I'm currently reviewing conversations, payements made by me and contracts so i can be accurate. Because despite the fact that Gumiho was in Invasion at a 100%, they had to agree to take different paths as Kespa didn't allowed him to play Proleague while being in a foreign team for round 2 or 3. So we reach an understanding that i would and only me support him to go to events even though he was representing MVP 100% during Tours HSC Valencia. And during this time he was supported by me personally, we had different terms. I'm writing this quickly before reviewing all the conversations and contract to show that i'm not going anywhere. He made it public, i will by consequence reveal all publicly.

Let´s wait for a answer of Sbenou before we go too deep in this.

Although i was also a follower of his twitter account and his champagne here, champagne there posts.



Reminds me of a story Richard Lewis told in one of his shows. Some guy wanted to play the rich team owner and rent nice sports cars to drive up to tournaments... sad affair for GuMi :/

Wishful thinking combined with care for Gumiho's well-being.

Sounds like another typical sc2 case of robbing the Koreans to pay the foreigners.

Sbenou gave him money in cash... so no way to prove it 100% if Choya would say he didnt get money in cash...

Also "suprising" that Sbenou didnt think of the 6k he claims Choya owes him before.

I dont know what to think of this drama, 6k is a lot of money and i dont think Sbenou only now found out that Choya owes him this amount of money.

Dont want to judge yet tho.
