The "man in charge" is probably Sebou, who has been Twitter silent since August. He's filthy rich and there absolutely no reason for him to withhold player money outside of laziness.

Is he "filthy rich" though? I know he posted extravagant pictures and all, but you never know such things..

People pretend to be wealthy all the time. Ever heard the term "30,000 millionaire"? Basically people outspending what they make, eventually leading to disaster.

Maybe. Could have just been faking it and now he's running away with some money, who knows?

This is a very reasonable assumption. He supposedly managed some hedge funds, which is surprising in itself but not unheard of. If this is true, he would be making a very hefty paycheck. Either way, he clearly likes to present himself as having more money than he knows what do with, which is definitely pretty distasteful/nauseating.

This is such an unacceptable yet reoccurring pattern . What legal recourse do players have in these situations?

I never knew there was a name for this. My grandfather used to call that 'a rich people's head on a poor man's body' and I was fine with that.

but the urban dictionnary definition is pretty awesome.

A 30k millionaire does this in order to make himself look like he's somebody, but in reality, he goes home at night and jacks off, using his own tears as lube.


also, Rifkin being Rifkin I guess...

6 months ago isn't exactly recently, and he's only stating things from his experience. No reason to bring un-involved people into this.

New WCS system = Increase diversity

New WCS system = Destroys Korean scene

New WCS system = Koreans join foreign teams. Replace foreigners over time.

New WCS system = fail

It largely depends on the contents of their contract, if they have one written out. Even so, it might be prohibitively expensive to fight this, especially depending on the amount of money being owed.

I interpret "Choya is greedy and hard to work with" as "I am not willing to put in the business effort to make things work with choya".

Choya is a good guy, smart, professional when necessary and a very strong character. I also know that he will always fight for his team mates and friends.

Just sayin' as I don't like it when my korean mates are getting shit talked.

It was a zerg player but yeah pretty much.

I think we shouldn't judge rifkin and demuslim too much because their tweets are made of their own experience with choya (which might be bad ones).

And I think sebou is an ass for pulling something like this off.

The sad truth is that we've seen so many of these that we know that they won't resolve and there really is no big urge to even comment. Hence only four pages of comments.

Well, ironically I'm commenting right now, but you catch my drift.
