I really feel bad for Soulkey, but lets be honest. I can't give a crap anymore. These Korean progamers should have learned their lesson from previous examples. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. | ||

You are absolutely right, however, the litigation fees/time spent usually isn't worth it. That's why it is better to just sabotage their business/reputation. They end up losing more than they stole. Now when you bring cyber crime into the mix, it can get even worse for the offenders. Players need to step it up and stop being pushovers. | ||

They'll keep doing this shit because they know it's happened so many times that most of the community doesn't give a shit anymore, and because they know that the money itself might not even cover the legal fees inherent to the pro suing them. | ||

Seriously, it's not that hard to figure out -- and this should go for future and current pro gamers as well. If a company does not pay you after one, or two months, speak up! Make a big deal out of it, stop being a pushover. Yes, it sucks that one or two months of salary may be lost, but at least don't stretch it out. | ||

Can anyone link me this? On-topic: That sucks, I do remember TCM being a prominent team in CS, but don't know much about the others. Seems it isn't just SoulKey : http://www.dexerto.com/news/2016/08/25/tcm-gaming-filed-dissolution/ https://m.reddit.com/r/CoDCompetitive/comments/3z9h8h/tcm_still_not_paid_madcat_for_xgames/?ref=readnext_1 | ||

The nickname that's used is generally used to describe people who distance themselves from others. However, it also literally means Iron Wall. Soulkey seems to have the nickname in the Korean community because his skill was considered to be that of a different league from the other players. That's why I used the original term. However, I did more digging and it seems liquipedia has a reference to his nickname as the "Iron Wall" so I've changed it accordingly. Let me know if you have any questions. | ||

I never really watched his BW games much, but I'm quite a fan of his Zerg defensive style in SC2 (and just like Rain, he's somewhat underrated). | ||
